Shit, I completely forgot about all these people rage quitting...

Whiskey (supposedly)
Axbaby
Nightshade
GKY
Peenyah
Eonix

I’m sure there’s more...

[obsidian]

I doubt Whiskey's really gone anywhere, probably just standing in front of his house waiting for the mailman.

Gwamps many many many times, if he had a single friend he wouldn't have to keep coming back.

What a gentleman

[Transient]

Really? I must have missed that... Kinda lame to just leave when people disagree with you, if that was the case I'd have been gone loooong ago..

Axbaby bailed after admitting he supported Drumpf. He didn't have a response to the criticism and got embarrassed. I'm sure he's cheering the orange clown on with his black teenage girlfriend in Africa.

Or GONNAKILLYA, who didn't love Telltale Games and Game of Thrones so much :olo:

One might say he'd call them bullshot. :ninja:

[scared?]

Lol so much better without that whiskey moron...

it was really moving when Covid-19 decided to ignore the lack of social distancing at George Floyd protests and not infect anyone out of #solidarity <3

What's your point?

[seremtan]

my point is that the cognitive dissonance exists right across the spectrum. people quickly forget that this is a virus and therefore doesn't care why you were wherever you were when it infected you

[YourGrandpa]

I'm sorry you had to explain.

Sounds like a "what about"-ism

[seremtan]

sounds like pointing out hypocrisy to me

Yeah because protesting for a haircut is the exact same thing as protesting hundreds of years of inequality, oppression and institutional racism.

Look, having protests like these isn't ideal from a pandemic point of view, but this pot has boiled over, arguably partly because of the virus, and it's unreasonable to ask all these people demonstrating in american streets to just "hold that thought" for half a year or maybe just, well, indefinitely.
I realize you may be specifically talking about people protesting in the UK, as you've been vocally opposed to that in the other thread as well. I'll leave that in the middle here, as I'm not too aware of what's going on in the UK right now. In the US, however, I can understand all these people going out and protesting despite the dangers of COVID-19 so well. Is it, from a health standpoint, the smartest thing to do during a pandemic? No, I guess not. But I do understand where it's all coming from and why they do it, especially because protests like these are a largely unplanned outcry from society. The main goal here is not defying the government's wishes regarding COVID, while those haircut protestors are.

Honestly, to me it's unfathomable to put the two groups in the same category.

[Eraser]

Of course John Oliver has a thing to say as well.

Personally, I was deeply touched by the clip of the woman at the end. The cynics among you will probably do it away as acting and drama and everything, but I can only imagine what she shows here is exactly how many black people feel.
If someone's interested in the full video of her, it's available here.

100% agree with this

[Κracus]

Ignorant people like their ignorant views kept ignorant.

[Transient]

Cognitive dissonance.

And here is the sheriff of that departement in 2015 who is now distancing himself from the F.O.P. -post.
The fish starts to smell at its head.
America has a gun- and a bible-problem and especially within some departements of the police force, as it seems.
