Drone footage over the LA Black Lives Matter protest on Hollywood Blvd today

  1. Stop whining about virtue signaling. The complaint has never made any sense. Virtue signaling is called having fucking empathy for others and is only virtue signaling when it is devoid of actual empathy.

It is such an annoyingly overused phrase. Virtue signaling is society setting norms and it has to be a thing because most of society still doesn’t have those norms. Since when is virtues a bad thing to reinforce?

You don’t know the difference between someone genuinely c saw ring and virtue signaling so it is the weakest critique you can ever use and requires baseless assumptions on your part.

  1. City did nothing. they cut 100M from a 3 billion dollar budget. That isn’t a slash that is a paper cut.

  2. Yeah they have specific demands if you haven’t been paying attention across the country. 8 Can’t Wait or Operation Zero. Read up on both because they pretty much capture very specific policy things cities and departments can commit too.

That being said. I agree with the critique solely on Coronavirus terms and that it is Black people and old people that will have to suffer the consequences of mostly white people who will forget about this two months from now.

But as a minority in this country I don’t call it virtue signaling, I call it life. I appreciate people standing up now and I want people to not forget. I want people to not stop “virtue signaling” until police unions start to commit to the changes.
