Again, I ask, why are they using kneeling as their signature protest stance when the officer knelt on Floyd's neck until he died?

It's a false dilemma fallacy. "Either you love me or you hate me" replace the word 'me' with black people.

It's also conveniently a catch-22. YT can't win, no matter what.

You kneel? You're displaying and re-enacting a symbolic act of white power by 'overstanding' a POC worthy of reparations! How dare they? Re-enacting the killing of that poor black guy, brazenly - in front of the media...

You kneel? Surely you're kneeling to your superiors, an admission of guilt and a symbol of your white privilege being displayed as white guilt and inferiority. Curtsy to your kangs, tiny white girl. Even your mother agrees that you're privileged! Bow, evil police man. You too, Uncle Tom. Fucking race traitor!

It's how spin works, ideally in your favour, either way.
 
I'm not sure how to feel about any of this anymore. One hand, kicking back and watching the US burn on my couch is quite comfy, but on the other, seeing videos of people who are, honestly, just hanging around and marching, especially from the videos from LA, getting beaten to hell and maced make me incredibly upset, and make me want to go down to the hotspot cities on the east coast to document whats happening.

Should the looters get fucked? Absolutely, thats someones livelihood, and most of the stores are locally owned businesses. But its this weird feeling of anxiety, maybe its just me.

Update, the Boston and Worcester rallies have been calm, with a large show of force from the national guard and state police. I can tell theres a lot of people who want to go break shit and start a riot, but they'd need the crowd to pull it off, and Massachusetts is pretty bitch made.
I feel you. I love this country despite all its flaws, and it pains me to see peoples' hard work burning.

Pressing X to doubt on that. Southern has always been alt-lite at worst. I'd put her solidly in the e-thot grifter category, with aspirations for turning that into mainstream relevance as a right-wing talking head or op-ed writer.

She got recruited right out of high school. Why do you think those two British cameramen were blackmailing her while filming their documentary, and then she immediately retired? She was blown. Operation over.
