CNN's framing, uncritically accepting the spin of anti-protesters, is in stark contrast to their advocacy of the "fiery but mostly peaceful" protests of 2020. Naturally.
Anyway, it would cost BT nothing to at least hear out a delegation. But given that class warfare prerogatives prevent the elites from seeing the protesters as anything other than unruly serfs who must be made to assume their place, that will never happen.
Plus, conceding legitimacy to any complaint suggests that his regime might have erred, and he can't have that.
Remember: everything is class warfare these days. Especially so-called identity politics, the most clever divide-and-conquer scheme devised in this century. Always be aware that those who thunder most about "privilege" have done and will do nothing to divest themselves of it. Acknowledging privilege absolves them and authorizes the wielding all of privilege's prerogatives. It's a topical cream: for external use only.

ReplyDeleteLike lots of other protests. The Pipeline. BLM. Seattle '99. Even if the truckers silenced the horns and muted the engines, they'd still be an annoyance. Just for showing up.
