"Texas will not tolerate the lawlessness we have seen in Los Angeles, " Gov. Greg Abbott said ahead of planned protests this week in Texas, including one in San Antonio.
The reason I’m so frustrated with the left is because I wish you were right. But fucking hell I’ve seen it too many times. I’ve had this exact discussion every other time. The left are fucking performative and have not conviction. These protests are just to go get their “protest passport” stamped and go home then bitch about things until the next one.
Meanwhile it’s an opportunity for the authorities to go fishing. Police training isn’t what it is to be. They have protests down to a science. Plus they will be able to fight for bigger budgets.
I’m not saying protests shouldn’t happen. I am saying North American protests needs to something more than just showing up to get heads kicked in and make performative acts. Like it honestly seems like they biggest advances in how to protest came from other countries like China or Egypt. I don’t know. I’m just fucking done with it all. I’m telling you in a couple weeks none of this will matter.

I must disagree. This travesty will not be easily moved on from. And the world assuredly won’t allow us to forget it.

Let’s check back in on July 4. He’s got 28,000+/- more “criminals” to round up and deport.
I don’t think I’d label the Civil Rights movement or BLM protests as performative, though.
