What an insane day.

Pulling people out of cars and macing/tasering them, destroying water and milk supplies, ramming a barrier and sending people flying, pelting non-protesters carrying groceries, repeatedly attacking journalists, attacking a state senator... and that's only a fraction of all the brazen display of evil fuckery today.

Fuck the pigs and those defending them. This isn't desperation out of fear for their lives or blah blah blah. Serve and protect, my arse. Hell I can't even see how this is serving their own self-interests. They're just making things worse and worse, and so are those mealy-mouthed politicians bleating about. Fuck them all.

Aren’t you Canadian, Morrigan? Not even wrong but still...

Anecdotal, but this is the most social media action and awareness I've ever seen for an event like this, and I have a majority of white friends.

Guys, do your part and share these videos of police brutality across all social media. Please take these platforms and use them for good since they’ve been used against us for so long.

I don't think he's ever mentioned depression.  Just autism.  That pretty much puts him at the 85% percentile of decent lives at Era.

I hope all these celebrities that REEE is making hate threads about get deplatformed. Would love to see ERA unable to discuss the next marvel movie and Harry Potter game.

All they have to do is say sorry or ignore it untill it goes away. Look at this beautiful blackface apology from Jimmy Fallon

What the fuck they expect from celebrities or politicians? Nobody with brain is going to say “riots are good, enjoy it” at best they are going to point out that people should focus in the real problem.

It’s so hard for me to drum up support for this. I mean, yes, I support speaking out and fighting against racism and police brutality but all I can think when I see these protests are “Coronavirus” and “second wave”.

Like 4 days ago we were tracking cases from churches a couple hundred people attended. These protests are going to kill thousands.

Ugh, I want to support this with my heart but I just can’t right now.

I see this as Trump's big chance of getting re-elected.  :-\
I see it as Biden’s only chance of winning

:idont

I can see it both ways, to be honest. The whites taking the protests and turning it into riots despite the protesters saying "stop" are going to fuel the "THUG!" image that Trump and certain rural whites (and cops) have.

The rest of us (the folks that know of police brutality) would want Trump (who has badly managed nearly every fucking thing) out and vote against that base.

The question is: Who has the bigger base?
Cities under lock down, ballot boxes patrolled by the national guard and/or still a virus in the air.
If you just had a scuffle with the police or are anxious about the authorities you aren't going to vote in such conditions but if you want 'law and order' restored you will.
Not to mention the bill of the burned cars, looted small businesses etc. will end up on the doorstep of the ordinary citizens.
Most of this stuff is happening in communities, cities and states Trump didn't win in 2016.

One of the things Obama did well is that he channeled all the discontent for the war into a powerful and structured political platform and those protests became inspiring rallies instead.
I don't think Joe Biden or the Democratic party are up to the task to unite the different groups protesting under the same banner at this point.
Next to the George Floyd protests against police violence the sort of secondary 'fuck the system' protests and looting remind me of Occupy, Yellow Vests or the London riots. Leaderless and directionless.
While the first type of protest will find support as we have seen with the spread of protests across multiple cities and states. The latter doesn't.
The people that take their kids out to march for a good cause and those that break curfew to set police cars on fire are very different.

So either those watching TV that want to protect themselves from these riots vote for Trump and the GOP for 'law and order'
or they don't think they're up to the task of keeping them safe and vote for Biden or don't vote at all. There's also the question of who to blame
and with the Democrats already blaming the 'Russians' or 'foreign influence' they're losing that part of the debate as well.

I know some from Era are involved on the ground and I wish you the best.

Why is he a cop? He's demonstrating both the fear and the incompetence of the first victim in a horror monster movie. He is so terrified that upon falling down from not gripping the car well enough, blindly pepper sprays without knowing whats going on, before sheepishly getting back on the cop truck. He should not be a cop if he is pepper spraying fucking air out of fear.

Fire all the cops. Put ERA in charge of the training.

Does anyone know if there's an Era thread for discussing solutions for the US?
Abolishing Police?
Dismantling Police Unions?
Ending Qualified Immunity?
What do we do with thousands of unemployed racist psychopaths?

What kinds of things would we like to see enacted now to ease this unrest? I don't think I've seen/heard any government official discuss any like this.

 :stahp

ERA is wild. Abolishing police is pretty out there as a remote possibility even with all the horrific flaws of law enforcement and the terrible record in the US.

I'll agree to that.

I'll also agree with this. Not because of "leaderless and directionless" but because history has shown these cops get charged for murder, and then a jury or judge acquit them, even if there is video evidence showing them dead-to-rights a lot of times because "use of force" is apparently subjective with a lot of juries.

"Oh, he didn't mean to kill him. But where else could he put his knee to restrain him? *acquit*"

Quote from: 319Jevity, post: 35504115, member: 33136
To me, it's very simple.

Black people are not primarily protesting now because of what has happened the past 400 years.

Black people are protesting now because of what is still happening.

Black people are protesting now because their current reality is that the moment they stop protesting, they will be forced to go back to live a life that is simply no longer acceptably liveable.

A life is no longer acceptably liveable, when you are doomed to exist in a national environment, where the PERCEIVED constant risk of being mercilessly put down like an unwanted animal, is not the product of your own irrational fear, but a HEARTBREAKINGLY accurate risk-assessment analysis of your actual day to day experience.

Mind and soul. Under fire. Under a threat of lethal violence. Constantly.

PERCEIVED and HEARTBREAKINGLY.

Psychological and emotional.

Stress

Pressure

FEAR

Too much for too long and NOT a single sign of it ever stopping.

On and on. And on and on.

Just on and on, until the fear finally gets you.

And then your mind breaks. And your heart breaks.

And they win. And you lose.

And that will be the end.


UNLESS


YOU - FIGHT - BACK


Not just with words. Not just through voting. Not just through organizations.

YOU FIGHT BACK WITH EVERYTHING.

Because when you have next to nothing, and you have nothing because they really want you to have even less than that.


YOU FIGHT BACK WITH EVERYTHING YOU GOT


Black people are not protesting because they are getting shot down, stabbed up, kicked around and spit on.

Black people are protesting because they can't breathe.

At all.

They can't afford to relax. They can't afford let their guard down. They can't afford to chill.

Ever.

Because when they do, they die.

OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND...

Because what's happening is really not about discrimination, profiling, stigmatization, stereotyping, and...

No. Just no.

Terrorism.


It's about terrorism.


An act of terror can kill a handful of people, but breed crippling fear into a population of millions.

Millions.

Stochastic terrorism.Trump. Institutional terrorism.The police. Structural terrorism. The prison system.


Physical terrorism. Dylan Roof.


Black people are the victims of a never ending terrorism attack.

T E R R O R I S M.

Always, everywhere, in the streets, in a shop, at work, even in their homes.

EVEN WHEN SLEEPING IN THEIR OWN HOMES.

That is why black people are protesting.

They are protesting because they can't sleep

They are are protesting because they can't take a walk

They are protesting because they can't work.

They are protesting because they can't sleep


They can't not even sleep in their own homes.


They can't afford to relax. They can't afford let their guard down. They can't afford to chill.


They - can't - breathe


They can't breathe and they don't want to die.

They want to live.

They want to be able to live and breathe.

Live and breathe and not die.



Like you, like me and everyone else.

They want to live.

They want to breathe

Breathe.

In and out.

Breathe.

Again and again.

And again and again.


Live
Breathe
And not die.

So why am I, a white man, writing this.
Why I am claiming to know why black people are protesting.

Like I said in the beginning.

To me, it's simple.

It's simple because If I was black, I would protest too.

Fight back with everything I had in me. Fight back in any way I could possibly, and even impossibly, fight back.

And I would not stop fighting.

I would not stop.

Not stop.

EVER

Not until I could live again, could breathe again, could sleep again.

No, not until I could sleep again and not die.














I first posted this as a comment.

Then several people reached out and said that it was important that a lot more people read it.
I don't know if that is true, but it would be arrogant of me to just insist they were wrong, and do nothing about it.

It's simple because If I was black, I would protest too.

Fight back with everything I had in me. Fight back in any way I could possibly, and even impossibly, fight back.

And I would not stop fighting.

I would not stop.

Not stop.

EVER

Not until I could live again, could breathe again, could sleep again.

No, not until I could sleep again and not die.














I first posted this as a comment.

Then several people reached out and said that it was important that a lot more people read it.
I don't know if that is true, but it would be arrogant of me to just insist they were wrong, and do nothing about it.

Yes I wrote it.

I think I wrote it because I did not have to.

I could easily live, breathe, and sleep my way deep into whatever shade of ignorance I would feel the best about wrapping myself up in.

And maybe I will soon find myself back on the couch again.

Warm, fed, safe.

Comfortably numb in my psychological Snuggie .

Not thinking.

Just letting things happen, the way things have always happened, because that's what things do.

They happen.

But not today.
Is this bojak :ohhh

Era:
Can you even imagine what it feels like to have a game you worked on for so long have a cutscene leaked? I can't even imagine how depressing that must be and disrespectful of all the hard work and effort that was involved just so someone can feel like a big man on the internet

also era:
Eh, local businesses are insured and can just set up a go fund me, who cares?

To me, it's very simple.

Black people are not primarily protesting now because of what has happened the past 400 years.

Black people are protesting now because of what is still happening.

Black people are protesting now because their current reality is that the moment they stop protesting, they will be forced to go back to live a life that is simply no longer acceptably liveable.

A life is no longer acceptably liveable, when you are doomed to exist in a national environment, where the PERCEIVED constant risk of being mercilessly put down like an unwanted animal, is not the product of your own irrational fear, but a HEARTBREAKINGLY accurate risk-assessment analysis of your actual day to day experience.

Mind and soul. Under fire. Under a threat of lethal violence. Constantly.

PERCEIVED and HEARTBREAKINGLY.

Psychological and emotional.

Stress

Pressure

FEAR

Too much for too long and NOT a single sign of it ever stopping.

On and on. And on and on.

Just on and on, until the fear finally gets you.

And then your mind breaks. And your heart breaks.

And they win. And you lose.

And that will be the end.


UNLESS


YOU - FIGHT - BACK


Not just with words. Not just through voting. Not just through organizations.

YOU FIGHT BACK WITH EVERYTHING.

Because when you have next to nothing, and you have nothing because they really want you to have even less than that.


YOU FIGHT BACK WITH EVERYTHING YOU GOT


Black people are not protesting because they are getting shot down, stabbed up, kicked around and spit on.

Black people are protesting because they can't breathe.

At all.

They can't afford to relax. They can't afford let their guard down. They can't afford to chill.

Ever.

Because when they do, they die.

OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND...

Because what's happening is really not about discrimination, profiling, stigmatization, stereotyping, and...

No. Just no.

Terrorism.


It's about terrorism.


An act of terror can kill a handful of people, but breed crippling fear into a population of millions.

Millions.

Stochastic terrorism.Trump. Institutional terrorism.The police. Structural terrorism. The prison system.


Physical terrorism. Dylan Roof.


Black people are the victims of a never ending terrorism attack.

T E R R O R I S M.

Always, everywhere, in the streets, in a shop, at work, even in their homes.

EVEN WHEN SLEEPING IN THEIR OWN HOMES.

That is why black people are protesting.

They are protesting because they can't sleep

They are are protesting because they can't take a walk

They are protesting because they can't work.

They are protesting because they can't sleep


They can't not even sleep in their own homes.


They can't afford to relax. They can't afford let their guard down. They can't afford to chill.


They - can't - breathe


They can't breathe and they don't want to die.

They want to live.

They want to be able to live and breathe.

Live and breathe and not die.



Like you, like me and everyone else.

They want to live.

They want to breathe

Breathe.

In and out.

Breathe.

Again and again.

And again and again.


Live
Breathe
And not die.

So why am I, a white man, writing this.
Why I am claiming to know why black people are protesting.

Like I said in the beginning.

It's simple because If I was black, I would protest too.

It's pretty upsetting to see outside white agitators (either undercover cops or MAGA shitheads) trying to undermind the protests and bring further violence to people of color. Considering that causing a race war is one the main goals of white supremcists, I guess this is not surprising.

:dunno

Literally every thread on era about this right now has white dudes talking about wanting to see more burning shit down and violence breh.

Like, literally any post suggesting "shits going down" somewhere has a bunch of people rushing to go "gimme stream plz"

Both things are true. Bad faith actors are doing this for the wrong reason, and activists are doing it for the right reason.

So maybe the 'intentions' behind acts matter less than what the acts themselves are?
Maybe stop cheering on bad acts because you think they have good intentions?

How can they not wonder why a bad faith actor would want to do this. Maybe the act of looting and burning shit isn't a guaranteed net positive

fuck Covid. We are going to be living with that for a long time. When we cure 19, Covid 20 will emerge.

Go fuck yourself.

Two and a half months of shaming anyone who dared go outside even for a walk, all down the drain. Incredible.
