Political statements shouldn’t be shoehorned into everything.
Orrrrr, you haven’t realized how gullible you are.
I’m sorry, police brutality is not a left or right issue. Ending systematic racism is not a left or right issue.
You mean the person who is described by one of America’s greatest military generals and his former subordinate as
"the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us,” Mattis writes. “We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership. We can unite without him, drawing on the strengths inherent in our civil society. This will not be easy, as the past few days have shown, but we owe it to our fellow citizens; to past generations that bled to defend our promise; and to our children.”
Which is the problem with uneducated, partisan Americans. Instead of seeing things through a lens of what is right and what is wrong, they can only see “the left” and “the right”, “my side”, “the other side”. For things that even a child could articulate and understand.
Instead of you accurately seeing coronavirus as a massive failure in leadership by a person who was warned multiple times while we could see what was going on in other countries you paint a global pandemic as a specific conspiracy against the American president. A thing that doesn’t make sense as you see him actively searching your pockets to squeeze as much money as he can for himself and his buddies. You support the guy who refuses to disclose where $500 billion of your tax dollars are going to? Couldn’t be me .
Instead of the easiest slam dunk ever calling Americans to come together and see what reforms we can make, how we can heal the divide between law enforcement and citizenry he pits the groups against each other. Someone being a narcissist and unfit for the job doesn’t need people working against them. He actively works against himself for any logical person. But for a person who is more concerned with an unelected official over the President who is actively enriching himself at your expense I’m not surprised you wouldn’t understand that.
Don’t you ever feel just a bit bad about yourself? Don’t you take just the smallest time to stop and think? Have fun seeing the world as left vs right.
I shall now use Riot Police Brigitte skin forever. My god, some people in this community really are snowflakes.
Yep. Any logical, decent person can see this. Instead we have nutters who want to cry about Shareblue and Joe Biden. It’s painful how out of touch and radicalized some people are.
I would probably be a card carrying conservative person if all of these insane takes against needed legislation hadn’t been the norm for them. All you hear is deflection after deflection to fixing problems.
We literally saw someone being murdered on camera while 3 other officers prevented bystanders from stopping the murder and people still don’t get things need to change?
And how cute is D’Va in her officer outfit ?
It isnt about cuteness or how good the skin looks. It fits with the character. Neither Dva or Brig are american. These skins were designed AGES ago, with no ill thoughts.
It is 100% about that, the OP wants to take away one of my favourite D’Va skins which she is super cute looking in.
I choose skins based on how they look, not politics or anything else.
I’m not even going to begin going down this rabbit hole with you on the forums as theres so much you don’t understand beyond the surface. But you can feel free to add me and we can go to discord.
I will say this though- major corporations are pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into a divisive campaign instead of directly using the money to fund inner city projects, better education, scholarships, etc. But somehow you dont think it has anything to with politics right? Got it.
blm is going a bit to far i wont lose one of my d.va skins over some idiot cops some of my black friends are seeing this stuff is freaking dumb this is one blm thing i can not back while i do support reform of things targetting characters isnt right and people seem to forget not all cops are bad people i went to school with a cop and my school resource officer he was cool as heck only people who didnt really like him where people known for causing trouble
That’s a generalization.
Also, its the democratic party and corporations that’s currently exploiting the BLM rhetoric to gain votes and gain profit.
Also also, under the current administration that unemployment was far lower than what it was under Obama.
Is that why I pocketed a bunch of free money from the government during this lockdown? I nearly saved up 10k just by sitting on my *** playing video games due to the extra $600 we get from unemployment.
News flash! Everyone got stimulus! Including corporations, small business, and regular people! Its called a stimulus bill, because its meant to stimulate monetary circulation in the economy! That’s why everyone (including corportations) got some!
BLM is still greatly responsible for the looting and burning. The mass protests created the opportunity for looters, and as soon as it started, the protesters should have gone home immediately. But no, they continued to protest while the looting was going on, making it difficult for law enforcement to bring the looting under control.
BLM protests are greatly at fault for the looting, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
This is a high effort troll post if I’ve ever seen one
It wasn’t a calculated move. It happened organically.
Breonna Taylor has been getting attention too. It’s just that George Floyd’s murder was far more visible. It was literally caught on camera while Breonna’s police report was hilariously lacking in detail (e.g. “Injuries: none”). George Floyd could have been anyone else. His murder just happened to coincide with all the other [gestures at everything] going on.
But that’s all beside the point. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter who gets to be the martyr. Everyone deserves justice and due process.
It doesn’t have to be one or the other. Have you heard the term “intersectionality”? There’s your homework for tonight.
You better be careful then. I just read on Blacklivesmatter DOT com that removing Police Dva is the number one issue on their agenda. They also said if they ever see your school resource officer on the streets they’re going to throw dem hands with him /s
There’s no generalizations. That’s the problem with Americans, they have zero idea what is going on in terms of legislation, who is against it and who opposes it. Conservatives are against campaign finance reform, Citizens United(which allows unlimited spending by corporations without disclosing who is paying money) was decided in the Supreme court 5-4 with all 5 conservative justices allowing it. Please learn a little bit about your country.
A trend started by Obama cleaning up the mess of the previous conservative who wrecked the country and economy and all of that progress has been removed overnight yet again four years later because we don’t have competent leadership.
That extra $600 in employment is about to run out and Republicans have already said they do not want to continue it.
There is a difference between corporations inflating their coffers and poor citizens being thrown a little bone. $1200 is nothing compared to what various corporations received. Which is the problem, people are used to getting the scraps that fall from the table. A little $1200 dollar stimulus and unemployment is nothing compared to $500 billion in unaccountable money.
Especially when one side fought to give regular citizens more money over the corporations and the other side shut them down. Enjoy your scraps though, you’re apparently easily bought.
Sorry, personal accountability is important amirite? People who are looting need to be arrested and prosecuted. People peacefully protesting have zero to do with knuckleheads and organized criminal groups looting. It’s funny how quickly conservatives are willing to give up their first amendment rights and other constitutional freedoms when it goes against their political agenda. It happens time and time again.
You expect these people to actually learn something? These are the same people who can’t grasp that Black lives matter doesn’t mean “ONLY Black Lives Matter”.
I noticed nobody has said anything against my forum icon
Officer D’Va and Bunny Badge FTW
Police dva is my favorite skin outside of schoolgirl Dva. People haven’t said anything because this topic is manufactured outrage so the same people can pretend like they have an actual boogeyman and complain that they don’t like people protesting.
Writing them off doesn’t really do any good. Sometimes, people who are wrong do come around eventually.
This post needs to be closed. All this hate towards police (who protect Americans every day, by the way) is just sickening. I’m so sick of hearing about BLM, and I try to ignore politics but people have to bring it into their games
Korean Police are top notch, dont be Xenophobic.
Normally I’d agree with this, but there are certain issues where people aren’t going to be changed by random dude on the internet.
If their worldview is that limited they can’t understand basic concepts like “People care about more than one issue”, “ignoring racism won’t end racism”, “police reform effects us all” “defund the police doesn’t mean zero police” then they’re already far gone and a casual internet post isn’t going to make them see the light.
I said earlier in the topic I have a bunch of conservative friends from college who are only now coming around to things that we argued and debated about endlessly in school. Some people can only be reactionary to change after it has already happened.
BLM started 7 years ago and it took a global pandemic, vast swaths of the country being unemployed and someone being murdered on camera for people to finally turn around and say hey maybe we should do something about this racism and police thing.
