    Occupy Wall Street showed this issue pretty well. While many moderate liberals quickly latched on to the movement, they just as quickly abandoned it and lapped up the narrative that the police were compelled to tear down encampments and beat people due to “unsanitary” conditions (despite them having sanitation crews) of the camps or because some people nearby broke a couple windows.

    But when the cops break a couple (hundred) bones? That’s cool, I guess.

    People actually downvote the words of MLK Jr. You know who you are and you suck mightily.

    As a kid I watch a documentary about a reptile in the desert which was constantly making steps forward and backward with just a few more forward. That way the ants don’t know where it’s going and “flee” back and forth, effectively following the reptile.

    Don’t know why I bring this up tho. Not implying that reptiloids use this tactic to move backwards
