That's the defense used by those on the left when confronted with these acts.
Well. . . . . it was only a "few" cops who killed George Floyd.
When the majority chooses to focus on the destructive actions of the few and chooses to ignore the efforts or support the many, that are facing the same issues and problems we all share, the few win. The few are just that a few. If issues and grievances are addressed and rectified when the problems first arise, they are easier to rectify. It is when the majority ignores the symptoms because they are not inconvenienced enough, that an infection sets in, and the fear of life threatening sepsis become a real possibility.
Whether it is statues, bathrooms, religion, cakes, or countries, our society has taught us the only way to win against a perceived enemy, is to go to war. We hate the results of what we worship, but not learned that hate begets hate, and violence begets violence. Greed, the obsession with control and power, makes it impossible for us to stop this destructive cycle. Until we learn that we can never own power, control, or things, they will ultimately and perpetually, become the Gods that will control and own you.
For every one person that read this post. About 7.99 billion have not.
Yet I still post.
