MODERATORS
The belief that politics reacts to public outrage is also a mechanism of control by the system, when in reality it only offers up sacrificial, insignificant lambs like Santos, always keeping the actual power players safe.
If the outage we see over police killings hasn't shifted our central government one iota (and it hasn't; even Biden has been calling for MORE police than pre-George Floyd, nevermind Republicans), what do you think this is going to do?
Politics changes when politicians die and are replaced by ones who believe something else.
That's what the people in power want us to think because it ferments fear which populist/fascist leaders take advantage of to claim their own power.
Real, lasting change is incremental change powered by passionate and peaceful people
