Do you feel sorry for BLM supporters?

[Kyle Rittenhouse is a Political Prisoner]

Truly, it is deeply sad to me that so many people have bought into delusional conspiracy theories about cops frequently murdering unarmed black men and racial bias in police shootings.

[7,052,770]

Black Lives Matter is about a whole lot more than shootings. Have you not paid a lick of attention?

[Ancestral Republican]

Don't feed the troll.

[Dr. MB]

When exactly did you go off the deep end? You were like a socialist a few months ago and now you're claiming Kyle Rittenhouse is innocent and being transgender is a lie and America could never possibly do anything wrong (besides possibly elect a radical socialist Democrat) and the Jews get special advantages on the SAT and BLM is an insane leftist conspiracy theory.

[Beet]

Black Lives Matter is not just about police shootings. Police shootings only get so much attention because they are such dramatic and irrefutable proof, caught on videotape, of Black men being blatantly murdered running away or begging for their lives. In that sense they are special, and unique. It is certainly true they are not statistically common.

But what is common is that Black life is valued less in society than White life, and this can be seen, if one wants statistically more numerous examples, in the COVID-19 pandemic. Black people are more than twice as likely to die, and on an age-adjusted basis three and a half times more likely to die. Government policy reinforces this, such as when Georgia Governor Brian Kemp overrules the Black mayor of his state's largest city, Atlanta, which is disproportionately Black, and bans her from enforcing a mask mandate, even as his fellow Republican Governors up north, like Mike DeWine, are enforcing them. There are also many other causes and factors for this, such as poverty (which contributes to obesity, which contributes to mortality), working in a job that requires human interaction as opposed to office work, and so on. These too are influenced by government policy such as historic redlining.

BLM then, is not just about police shootings but racial disparities in the protection of life.

Of course, it is not just Black lives but also Hispanics and Indigenous people, although their plight unfortunately gets less attention.

And it cannot just be said about race, but in reality all poor people, including poor White people, likely have greater mortality rates and lower life expectancy, and a higher risk of being victimized by police brutality. These economic privileges are underrepresented by the SJW discourse of the Left.

It seems like most people I know are deviating hard to the right or the left. It's really weird. Perhaps it's just in line with the cultural zeitgeist, or it represents a more permanent trend. I still find myself in a strange position at times, thinking I ought to support x position because of my political identity, when I don't actually feel that way.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Nobody vote.

Good advice. I didn't.

I concur. It's so weird that I can't help believing Jalaketu West is probably just trolling everyone else feigning right-wing bot-like hot takes. I am probably wrong though...

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I feel sorry for myself, yes, but not for that reason.

Kyle Rittenhouse is innocent. That is a fact.
Transgender activists are wrong about the impact of sex change surgeries. That is a fact.
America is a good nation. That is a fact.
I never said the 4th thing. That's a stupid misreading of me mocking GP270Watch.
BLM is based on conspiracy theories, yes.

The Bible never said God exists, that it a stupid misreading of genesis

I don't have time to argue with you about all five, so pick one so as to be informed.

I have not been a liberal for a while. I hold some views on the left with regard to economics, but the dissolution of the democratic party into absurd fantasies of liberalism and black ethno-narcissism has rather thoroughly soured me on them.

I expect you to begin protesting for male lives soon, then, given that men are higher odds of dying of COVID, have a lower life expectancy, and are disproportionately victimized by the criminal justice system?

Of course males also have gendered issues that deserve attention. Where did I say they didn't? I haven't personally participated in any BLM protests but if people want to protest for male victims of police brutality I would have no problem with that.

Of course I do hope that people who are up in arms about this sort of thing support womens' reproductive rights on SCOTUS as well, just as I hope BLM protesters oppose racism against Whites.

The reason why being that some identities are "marginalized" and some are "privileged". When a "marginalized" identity group is doing worse than a "privileged" identity group, this is a great injustice that must be rectified. When the "marginalized" group is doing better, then there is no injustice and it's probably the fault of those terrible "privileged" people. Truly, some "privilege".

Well, according to some people who are wrong on the Internet, yes. The rhetoric of some BLM supporters are wrong, while the underlying cause is right. What is needed is a return to the center on these matters.
