If the comments in this thread are anything to go by, I'd say they are not realizing it and just doubling down. Its downright disturbing to watch the double standards and hypocrisy.
We will now watch the full force of social media, traditional media, populist talking heads, CEOs, reporters, activists, group leaders, politicians, etc all jumping on this thing to milk it to it's full extent and amplify its negative aspects and blow it way out of proportion. Just like the same power structures were last year used to amplify the "positive" message of certain other protests.
- sofixa 6y ago> jumping on this thing to milk it to it's full extent and amplify its negative aspects and blow it way out of proportion. Just like the same power structures were last year used to amplify the "positive" message of certain other protests. Armed people stormed the US Capitol, after being incited to do so by the current US President, in order to overturn a legal election result. People died as well. You can't "blow this out of proportion" the same way you can't blow something like Chernobyl out of proportion - it was huge, it has huge ramifications, it impacts a lot of people. There are zero positive aspects and there's nothing redeeming in the whole story.
