@AvonandsomerRob @e1raMx It’s not those who draw attention to an atrocity who incite violence; rather, it’s the atrocity itself that provokes a reaction.
@davidoff31249@RestoreBritain Unfortunately, the main voting bracket is 50+. That’s changing somewhat now, but let’s not underplay the ability to talk to a section of the voter base that’s not on X. This is a bad thing, but not insurmountable.
@col_a_buendia The issue is the lack of structure or cultural figure to lead the charge. These incidents may seem like catalysts for something bigger in the moment, but fizzle out. Without a leader, the ultimate violence doesn’t start, and without disorganised incidents, leaders aren’t formed.
We really have reached Soviet levels of gaslighting.
A man is murdered, and somehow, the real problem is that people are angry about it.
Children are gang raped, and somehow the real problem is that people keep mentioning it and “dividing communities.”
This is moral inversion.
No. Crime divides communities. Institutional failure divides communities. Cover-ups, euphemisms, cowardice, and elite contempt divide communities.
One thing this whole situation with Henry Nowak has illustrated is that the police cannot be trusted.
In his final moments, he wasn’t treated with dignity; he was treated with disdain. With his final breath, he wasn’t comforted; he was cast aside.
Evil is an understatement!
@BasilTheGreat After their handling of the Henry ordeal, they deserve it. If I saw a copper drowning, I wouldn’t even throw him a rope. I have zero faith, zero respect, and zero sympathy for the police anymore. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
