This.I was just thinking about the lead-up to all this.
Thirteen years ago, people came together in the streets of NYC to protest the bankers who were destroying their lives. It was called Occupy Wall Street and it was one of the first protest movements with a snappy, memorable message that squarely targeted the power structure without getting bogged down in distractions. It terrified the elite to the point they drove the Western world into over a decade of raging insanity with critical theory and identity politics. Now it appears that Trump's election has closed the book on wokeism. The progressive movement was powerful for a time but ultimately it was a one-trick pony and its tactics are played out.
A month after Trump's election, the New York streets saw another protest against the elite. Except this protest didn't involve people waving signs. It involved a man shooting a health insurance executive to death. Following this, people from across the political spectrum burst into celebration. The only voices of dismay are coming from shills who live in green rooms.
What will the next move be?
Hard to think of another industry whose excesses have outraged so many people around the country that learning of the killing of a CEO of one of the major companies in the industry has brought so much approval. You would hope others of similar rank in this industry sit up, take notice, and think of ways to become human beings again.
