    Sad that this won’t amount to anything.

    Too much plausible deniability, no immediate consequences. This will blow over in a week or less.

    I’m frustrated, it’s frustrating.

      The people who love shouting at people they hate don’t want to believe it, and if the last decade has taught us anything, it’s that no matter who you are, no matter what your education, political ideology, or background… everyone willingly discards reality in favor of something that makes them feel validated in some way.

      Kayfabe isn’t a cultural phenomenon, it’s hardwired into us. And the worst people are leveraging it against the greater good.

      At this point a person can be standing with a bloody knife and a dead corpse that was clearly mutilated by said knife, but if the person holding the knife is a billionaire, absolutely nothing will happen to him.

      Too much plausible deniability

      And they can easily spin this to say the system wasn’t working correctly and that all the locations were wrong for reasons.

      A lotta people need to be dealt with for any real change. You cannot rely on the swaying of the masses via news. Too many people are too dumb to actually think.

        Maybe they’re too dumb for thinking, but they have other qualities, like a natural propention of getting angry.
