None of this is funny. These are human beings, all of them. It is not f*cking normal to see someone get jumped & kicked in the head, & someone's arm blown off, & ask what their politics is before tweeting "lol". Do not contribute to the dehumanization & divide that lead to this. https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1298501182382473216
This isn't a game. Look at the replies. Read them & ask yourself if it seems like the sign of a healthy society. If you're itching to tweet at me "X got what they deserved", stop. Not the time. You are watching a nation hurting. Are you helping it heal or furthering the divide?
I love that quote,but no. This is people duped by scum on both sides of Washington who have convinced Americans to take out their anger on eachother, instead of uniting to fight the real tyrants who benefit from division. They want you to see your neighbor as enemy. Dont let them
It is a sickness. It is a societal rot that runs deep. We should not be used to watching black people murdered by police. We should not be used to watching a young man kicked in the head. We should not be used to checking someone's tweets to decide whether to laugh at them bleed.
I don't know what the answer is. But I do know we ought to fight the dehumanization. Life is not a video game..the Trump supporter & BLM supporter? They have NAMES. They have families. They are more than a ballot box. They are John, & Darnell, & María, & Mom, & neighbor, & friend
People are hurting. People feel forgotten. People are angry. & They might not understand eachother's pain, or may have different reasons for it. But that alone doesn't cause this. Thinking others deserve pain because you feel it too - that causes this. When did we stop listening?
