  • Well I disagree. I believe it’s not what they expect, it’s what they want. They are being deliberately provocative to get a reaction, so they may respond. Which they are currently doing.

    Not only that, but we are no longer talking about important policy and legal attacks on freedom.

    Not only that, but any looting or violence will be amplified, and any police or military abuses will be diminished (by the media). The rubber bullet impact photos aren’t disseminated, the looting of an apple store is, or a shoe store, or any fire.

    The targeted feedback we receive (through Lemmy and other social media) makes us feel like we’re accomplishing something, but it’s the social change equivalent of junk food. Like carbon credits, it’s not addressing the problem, it just makes us feel better.

    Only my opinion, of course.
