Or, maybe the whataboutisms of the past you dwell on only serve yourself, and not the hapless people getting swept off the streets and dragged off into the night.
There’s time for critical discussion of the past - and you have NO idea if the man in the photo has not had any of the soul-searching conversations with his own actions or not - and there’s time for stepping up to the injustices unfolding in the NOW.
I get it, that the past is a better cudgel to wield because it’s been written in blood, but the dwelling on that past, won’t bring a single victim to life again, or give them back what was taken.
Now with that as a truth, what are you doing for the victims who are in the NOW?
What does your rage over historical injustice do for them today?
