The entire country?The US has gone collectively insane
The entire country?
Who is "the left" in this sentence?Yeah because I meant every man, woman and child.
The left is attacking courthouses and police stations, the right attacked the capitol. The centre is thinking wtf.
So you think the right is deep cover in those BLM protests waiting to attack the police and courts in order to frame the left.Who is "the left" in this sentence?

Do you want me to be more specific and say far left or did you just put a tinfoil hat on?
Yeah, every one to the right of you is far right.Race is not a left/right issue.
It's an issue for the far right, who seem to think everyone else is left.
Look at this nonsense tweeteed out by an educator in the US. Apparently "characteristics of white supremacy" include perfectionism, individualism, a sense of urgency and objectivity. Setting aside whether this is accurate or not, what are they suggesting as preferable alternatives to this "white supremacy"? No, we need a "culture of love" instead?
Isn't this actually deeply condescending to non-whites? Like, "you don't need to worry about perfectionism or a sense of urgency - those are just trappings of white supremacy". Surely those attitudes go hand in hand with hard work and achievement? Now they're perjoratives that indicate white supremacy? This is nuts.
Chief can you explain this to me? If this is the new Anti-Racism agenda, I don't get it at all.
Yeah, every one to the right of you is far right.
Religion and pedos were around far before left and right was a thing
Yeah but what would we do without him?
No. Who said that?So you think the right is deep cover in those BLM protests waiting to attack the police and courts in order to frame the left.
The guy doing a smash and grab on an electronics store to steal a TV - is he doing that because he's part of "the left" or becomes he's an opportunistic criminal?Do you want me to be more specific and say far left or did you just put a tinfoil hat on?
What do you mean by "the context"?I don’t know what it is or what the context is, and I don’t have some unique perspective on anti-racism anyway.
I use "the left" because if I sat here and described every position on the left and right, I don't think I'd ever finish.No. Who said that?

BLM is a distinct cause/movement with specific concerns about racial justice. And the looting that spun out of it is another step removed from that politically. To bundle all that up and say this is "the left", like it's a monolith that are all on the same page, seems overly simplistic. These aren't people in elected office.
Or something happens in the Australian context? Or are you one of those morons that believes that there is no Australian context and it’s all “American stuff taken up by Australians”?When's the next protest in relation to BLM in Australian capital cities, or do we wait till something happens again in America?

No, but why wait until something happens elsewhere to protest etc. It loses any impact here.Or something happens in the Australian context? Or are you one of those morons that believes that there is no Australian context and it’s all “American stuff taken up by Australians”?
Well the ones that don't make the media/TV and don't make an impact. And piggybacking off something in America has no impact.You think people only protest when something happens in the US? Where did you get that idea? You didn’t see it on TV so it didn’t happen?
News doesn’t care unless there is violence that they can use to portray black people as dangerous.Well the ones that don't make the media/TV and don't make an impact. And piggybacking off something in America has no impact.
Make the protest based on issues here and make it big enough to get media coverage and it'll have much more impact.

Because it has no impact.....as shown by the BLM protests in Australia ......nothing has changedNews doesn’t care unless there is violence that they can use to portray black people as dangerous.
Now, what stops people in Australia leveraging the publicity given to US events? Why shouldn’t they use that spotlight to remind people about Dungay and others?
The story of David Dungay and an Indigenous death in custody
Guardian Australia has followed the case of the 26-year-old Dunghutti man since his death in Long Bay jail in 2015. Here’s what has happened so farwww.theguardian.com
