My town is racially mixed and my neighborhood is probably majority non-white for some time now. I was doing some shadow boxing on the back porch a few days after the riots broke out, and some young black kids cutting across the empty lot next door went out of their way to say "good job!". I'm not experimenting to try to find out how prevalent a movement it is, but many of the casual encounters I've had have indicated to me that this moment is a time of reflection for some people in direct resistance to the dividers.
We've had a mask requirement in public places here since March and I've gone along with it strictly and 100% tolerate people who don't -- in fact, I'll be looking for ways to encourage them.  . But I think the driver of this, in day-to-day terms are peoples fears, and it's always better to be gentle with those.Absotively, on both counts. One would think that allaying the fears of a deadly super-virus that will surely get you unless you give up your rights and your livelihood would be a welcome thingy, but strangely, ... not so much. Oh Boy, am I ever seeing that...& really, there's a deeper fear than the fear of the virus, and that's the fear of losing the security blanket of being able to trust/rely upon your government/media to have your best interests at heart. I think for many, it's that fear that's preventing them from looking further into things...I think in some cases, they are kind of seeing the farce of it all, but the ramifications of it are just so scary, so paradigm shattering that they quickly turn away and yes, lash out in anger at those presenting the evidence. |

.. oh, and after all that I forgot my first reaction to this: the forum kids have this quickie meme, "red pill" -- of course, not everyone who uses it, is using it right.  Some think the red pill means republican?  Exactly! |

Some think the red pill means republican? That's one .. so many misconceptions .. so little time.  Another obvious one is the opposite .. that someone is, in today's parlance, "woke". 
But, ironically, sometimes, out at the extremes - from either side -, even this divide-game produces truthful memes, because that's what makes for a good meme, throwing a robe at the emperor.

Yup, for all too many, all that means is "I'm aware of and fully bought into, the politically correct, popular idea of the day." |

Maybe so. Something else that occurred; When I first started questioning it, I kept thinking, 'But how could such a deception be pulled of on a national level, much less a global level?' Strong sense of the incredulous. It really is quite a feat. |

Or snapping a pic of the Emperor and posting it on Facebook. |

Strong sense of the incredulous. It really is quite a feat. Yes, it's the 'global level' that really does speak to both a unified 'plan' as well as mass unconsciousness and the unified plan incorporating that. That said, we've been speculating that 'unified plan' does not necessarily mean that all levels of players/leaders are in on it....their acquiescence is of course, part of the plan...part of the counted on, mass unconsciousness. If we're right, how do the upper echelons feel about Sweden not going along...or was that somehow accounted for...? I dunno...I swing between this idea and the one where there's a very loose 'orchestration/plan' happening in tandem with a whole lot of leaders fucking up royally. |

Yeah, I wondered how Sweden escaped too. Thought maybe it had to do with neutrality. I think some other countries are acting somewhat rationally too. When you're planning a worldwide takeover, something's bound to fall through the cracks.  If the plan doesn't work, a whole lot of Democrat mayors and governors are up shit creek, right? |

The stakes are very, very high....it's an all or nothing deal... If this thing gets revealed as a hoax, the jig is up and they is DONE. |
