I know there is a date in the title of this post - I hope I'm guessing correctly. Half of the time I have no idea what day of the week we're on or what day of the year. I have lost track. And I genuinely like it.
This COVID shit was one thing, but then America added a bunch of death and protest into the mix. I can't even believe what's going on in my own country. Honestly, you could tell me ANYTHING was true, and I'd believe you for the (roughly) 60 seconds I'd use to fact-check you. America is borderline anarchic.
I'm not even going to say a bunch of political things, because (some) people seem to have lost the ability to think. They believe what they believe, and no amount of truth or evidence is going to change their minds.
So now we have to go from that starting point. Here's my advice: EVERYBODY FUCKING BE COOL ...
America can be a better place if we follow the spirit of the law more often, rather than adhering to the legal parameters. A curfew is a fucking joke. A curfew is an invocation of violence - preemptively - because the 1st Amendment allows people the right to peacefully assemble, and the curfew is entrapment. (Yes, some people do bad things - I'm not talking about those assholes.)
If America needs anarchy or an extension of the violence we are seeing now, so be it. Historically, democracies don't survive. Look at Greece. Look at "democratic" Russia, where Putin often (somehow) gets 115% of the vote.
They all fall, get overturned, because the people are frustrated and the government is enabling certain parts of the populace, discriminating against other parts, and making a very few people obscenely rich. I wonder why people are pissed. Most of us live month-to-month, so three months can be a financial crisis, for a household. I have been lucky, but I understand that I am in the minority in terms of my job.
Listen to music. Maybe some old Bob Dylan. Practice positive thinking, engage in constructive dialogue, and don't get tangled up in blue.
