    Every single one of these motherfuckers needs to be shot in the face. Every single one of them.

    This is the moderate position, btw.

      The Black Panthers were formed to protect citizens from the rampaging, out-of-control Oakland Police Department.

      The Panthers would monitor traffic stops. Standing guard with loaded shot-guns.

        Sometimes I wonder if things like this might not happen because people can get on the internet now, write something to ease their mind and in return get approval from their echochamber. And that’s enough for them.

          It totally is. While our awareness of such injustices has expanded, most of the time they arent happening anywhere near us because information travels so much more freely now. But that serves to desensitize us, to make responding with words in echochambers of anger a habit, and gives us more things to be concerned about so it is hard to focus on one thing. The net effect of that is that, when things actually happen in out backyards, we feel so overwhelmed, so disconnected (as everyone else in your echo chamber is physically far from you), and so habitually inactive that, for most, it makes answering the call to action slow at best.
