      Most conservatives will never hear about any of this, or anything, really. My mom had no idea that LA had any riots. Every four years she votes and then goes back to sleep on politics entirely. “I won, the end!”

          Even that feels fake. Who can you trust? It feels like it’s completely broken and everything is marketed and manipulated to manifest what ever the people with more power, left or right, want.

            Who can you trust?

            Yourself. Your friends. Us. Get off the mainstream internet. Put on your marching shoes and touch a bit of grass this weekend at a protest.

              Can’t really even trust us here. I’ve seen multiple people who were acting like they wanted to help resist, and then spew right wing propaganda and try to sanewash what the cops are doing.

              Can’t even trust the fucking people at the protests, because the police tend to disguise themselves as protesters in order to give their buddies an excuse to start beating and shooting people.

              You can trust yourself. So the best you can do is turn up to the protests. Wear protection. Take inspiration from the Hong Kong protests if you don’t know what to bring. Stay alert, and expect the police to start the violence, and act accordingly in self defence.
