2020 Uprising: Enough is Enough

Reddit?

Oh, aye.

It can be a good resource for many things; but reading the comments is pretty much always ill advised…

It is bizarre how consistent Fox News is about deflecting attention away from stories they don’t want to cover with ANIMAL STORIES.

At least this one is related to the current events. It’s usually:

I am so sad right now, and I’m putting this here to show why. This is my local Jewel-Osco. To be honest, I don’t really go here because Jewel never has everything I want (vegetarian household with a vegan, so our grocery list looks different than most households’). But I drive by it all the time, and I KNOW how hard it is to get food in a proper grocery store in the area, especially for those who don’t have a car like we do. This Jewel is the only full-size local grocery store for something like 6 neighborhoods.

It’s two sides of the same horrific coin: Kimberly Jones’ righteous anger pointing out that blacks aren’t allowed to own their own neighborhoods so why not burn them down, and this mother’s desperation to find food and milk for her children in the aftermath.

Jones’s was great, but it was tempered for me by having just seen this one. It’s just up thread here, but entirely on point.

Some indie game developers are removing their games from Steam over Valve’s silence on Black Lives Matter.

It’s not only Valve’s silence on the issue that irritates me. It’s the fact that they let racist and neo-nazi groups have free reign of the place with their own communities and forums, only lifting a finger when they could actually suffer consequences for it. Their store has shit like nazi visual novels in it and developers that leverage transphobia to sell their games. Their inaction and laissez-faire policies speak worlds to how much more they care about money than any sort of justice or kindness.

Go support Itchio, who talk the talk and walk the walk.

Remind me again who the anti-police terrorists are again? I keep losing track. The police say protesters are, and alt-right Rainbow Six cosplayers are their allies. But then this keeps happening:

This is fucking insane.

After the mother and child (who were not involved with the protest) were treated by a medic, and had finally calmed the poor shocked toddler down, the cop casually tossed a tear gas can right at their feet, instantly dousing them.

i am running out of what the fucks, but if municipal agencies can’t clamp down on this shit, people are going to start taking matters into their own hands.

The cops could not possibly be doing a better job of proving that the protestors are right if that was the plan. No self awareness at all.

I’m sure the police independent review board will determine that the use of gas was justified, that the three year old lunged at them, that the police feared for their lives, etc etc ad nauseam ad infinitum…
