The idea you can't be a serious activist who still enjoys life is a great way to burn out.
Yes, watching the Met or discussing rap disses may seem frivolous, but going 24/7 is a one-way ticket to exhaustion that ultimately will derail you. It's okay to care and breathe.
@galenward Absolutely and to be clear, I'm not blaming her for her reaction, I'm just a little surprised how many people online are surprised by how the police reacted. This has always been how they operate at protests and it's been well documented.
@RealJPSquared@DivestSPD UK police have killed 14 people total since January 2020, in 2020 *alone* US police killed 172 people without using guns. You should really look at some numbers before running your mouth while being completely wrong. I can link you the data if you actually want to learn.
Observe, once again, how self-designated 'expats' want to control border permeability for migrants but expect for themselves to have the freedom to move and settle as they please. A pathological entitlement.
