This whole Black Lives Matter thing I find a bit odd. Seeing hordes of indignant (middle-class) people brandishing placards yet obediently wearing facemasks… Each day over 200 species become extinct, every fortnight at least one language (a whole people) dies, every second over 5000 animals are slaughtered for food. Surely they are more worthy of protest? This is the thing about the bourgeoisie: their energy is too poor to face the glare of reality so they concern themselves with relative trivialities.
