Maybe they're not as smart as you'd like.

You think I want them to be smart? Lol.

Something controversial happens -> a lot of people get pissed off (understandably so) -> media milks the shit out of the event -> narratives - true, false, embellished, whatever get created -> mischaracterization for anyone who's approach to handling the situation isn't in line with majority rule, blah blah blah -> the bad guys (usually) walk away fine.

That's a very common cycle.

I wasn't happy with what happened, but it's been 2 months at this point, and what I've gathered is that nothing is going to change.

And yet because I say that these protests are fruitless people get mad and go absolutely nuts on the downvote button.

Sorry, I was under the impression we could have an open discussion without making assumptions in bad faith about people who disagree with the rationale.

My bad 🤚

'Injustice is fine, actually. I am very smart.'

K bye.

No, it isn't fine.

And no, I don't think I'm "very smart".
