The message so far from racial arsonists has been for the most part incomprehensible gibberish. The latest howler, get this, defunding the police, was apparently thought up on a bar napkin over a few drinks because it has not even the remotest chance of being taken seriously.
The message has been a central casting litany of hoary sloganeering that lost its emotional heft 30 years ago. The chant rant is not based on fact and is a pathetic regurgitation of prior memes and themes, repackaged and reconstituted. But it doesn’t seem to matter in the least.
When @AttorneyCrump throws out the term #genocide in any other context he’d be laughed out of town. But today such blather enjoys cachet. It’s like the drone of #NoJusticeNoPeace. If you say something long enough and loud enough to throngs preoccupied with larceny, it’ll do.
Throw into the mix the barely educated, psychmed addled Hollyweird has-been fresh off a phone call to their manager scripting their latest tearful the Instagram entreaty, and you have more patronizing insincere support for groups of people these elites want nothing to do with.
If we honestly reacted to what’s suggested by virtually everybody in front of a mic or camera we’d be laughing convulsively. The facts don’t add up, police shooting stats are made up on the spot and the memory of #GeorgeFloyd is relegated to the meme, poster and thumbnail.
