I was there today when he arrived and walked through the crowd of protesters with almost no security. Earlier on I had seen Pelosi making a photo op walking amidst protestors next to the Capitol. The protestors were probably 50 times fewer than the ones Obama crossed through, but Pelosi had 6 visible guards against the 2 I noticed following Obama.

We are having a battle in the other site. I invite those who still participate over there to join and choose a side. There are more but the most important threads are these two: https://www.message-forum.net/threads/blm-is-racist.157897/ https://www.message-forum.net/threads/denouncing-usa-state-terrorism.157828/ The second one is the thread I opened mirroring this BoyToy thread. They are similar only at the beginning. I am joining the protests in a couple of hours, and I am planning on reporting on it with pics, mostly posted mostly in my Twitter. I cannot stay longer at home watching TV and quarreling in the screens.

I do not think that tactical alliances necessarily compromise your principles. They are radically different to a strategic association between different political actors. Right now, there are two major goal for this protest: justice for the murderers (the 4 of them) of George Floyd, and criminal justice reform. Two goals that per se are just reformist aspirations, however in the context of systemic White Privilege, they become revolutionary. Of course I would ally with anyone who in this moment supports those goals. Whether or not they are hypocrites or unreliable allies, if they help us to obtain progressive victories that will turn into an objective improvement in the lives of millions of Americans, I will swallow my disgust and will bend my principles. My political goals (to defend inalienable Rights of innocent, powerless people) are more important that keeping my hand and conscience clean.

I see no drama in disagreeing. We do not need to apologize, we do not need to agree on everything but only in the basic mutual respect and human empathy.

DC's curfew starts at 7pm today. After the Donald had to hide in his super basement, the whole White House area will be closed today. I just upgraded my cable service and I am back to all the news networks. I am taking a break from Internet.

There is always danger. The challenge is to find a balance between values/principles and praxis. Denouncing the hypocrisy of the many "new allies" is right now counterproductive, in my opinion.

I found the whole documentary. Powerful and still 100% relevant after 6 decades.

yep, and that is the media to blame. They chose to present the events this way.

Still relevant. No need to update his words.

? I am not telling anyone what to do, beyond sharing mu opinion like anyone else.

I would ally with anyone (in the real world) to attain a tactical goal.

It is called tactical alliances. Who said anything about believing their support is sincere?

I empathize, but rather than pointing fingers, let's celebrate that the Cause has become so powerful that even these motherfuckers are joining the wave. Now it is time to add, not to divide.

I bought a sound bar that is arriving tomorrow or Tuesday. I am trying not to watch TV or movies until then. THIS IS TOP OF MY LIST.

To put a smile in this sad moment.

I just discovered Onisciente in Netflix. I am so happy to see a Brazilian sci fi series! I had to share the news immediately. I hope it is good.

Your obsessive and ubiquitous display of constant insults and criticism against them does not speak well about the happiness of your own "soul".
