@GovindSuresh @tokyobike You answered your own question. Tokyo is civilized and perfectly safe. — PolitiTweet.org

@archie4oz The question is binary, however. Such beliefs either exist or do not. I understand there's a spectrum of belief sets. — PolitiTweet.org

@vexmark The moral high ground between those two and the US is definitely below sea level. — PolitiTweet.org

Vlad Savov @vladsavov

@LilaHickey The certainty in your response, and the way it matches everyone else, is dispiriting. I can tell you the rest of the world doesn't perceive the US as such a place. — PolitiTweet.org

Vlad Savov @vladsavov

@ohpleaseno Strength of response to this question tells me I was underestimating. But is it convoluted, their reasoning, or speciously simplistic? Like, we don't have slavery anymore, therefore we ain't racist, the end. — PolitiTweet.org

@aizakow @am_engelbrecht Bleak, but thank you for informing me. — PolitiTweet.org

Vlad Savov @vladsavov

Genuinely want to know: - Are there actual people in America who think their police force is fine and fit for purpose? - Or others who think systemic, chronic and cumulative racism in the country is some sort of leftist myth? — PolitiTweet.org

Vlad Savov @vladsavov

And then I read someone passionately justifying all that and my brain wants to shut down. https://t.co/NVN825tPi2 — PolitiTweet.org

Just today I've seen multiple instances of US police attacking journalists, with one reporter losing an eye as a result, multiple cases of them pepper-spraying passive protesters, one SUV rammed into a crowd and one elderly man pushed to the ground while walking away. — PolitiTweet.org

@WaqrAhmd @ctrlshifti No, because I, for one, don't know enough about Kashmir to speak about it and don't know what useful thing to say about Palestine. And no, it doesn't only matter when it's in the west, but the US is so culturally amplified that others treat it as a role model. — PolitiTweet.org

Vlad Savov @vladsavov

RT @ctrlshifti: To people who aren't vocally supporting the protests because they don't live in the US, please reconsider. Like it or not,… — PolitiTweet.org

@leonardocarella Wow. That sure took some mental gymnastics to riddle out, but yeah, wow. — PolitiTweet.org

When I edit these, I usually listen to radio or podcasts, and some images get imprinted with the memory of whoever was speaking. This was the @karaswisher talking Twitter on NPR one. https://t.co/Z3LhjzxDpD — PolitiTweet.org

@_MariaPetrova @TekkyAddict You disagree with me yet haven't blocked me, so I'd say it's fair to call him fragile. He was also doing the standard thing of arguing from a binary position, so whatever. It's not for me to decide what's reasonable, but the armored vehicles struck me as unreasonable. — PolitiTweet.org

Vlad Savov @vladsavov

@_MariaPetrova @TekkyAddict The other participant to this conversation has blocked me, because that's how white fragility works. So to bring us back to original topic: armored vehicles and soldiers in the streets firing on people standing on their porches is or isn't justified? — PolitiTweet.org

Vlad Savov @vladsavov

@TekkyAddict @_MariaPetrova So what if they're not protesting peacefully? Does that invalidate the protest? The stores are insured, the CNN logo got repainted overnight, all that stuff's restorable. George Floyd isn't coming back. That wasn't peaceful. — PolitiTweet.org

Vlad Savov @vladsavov

Authoritarianism. They're imposing a curfew strictly to suppress protest and then enforcing that with violence. — PolitiTweet.org

If Bernie Sanders taught us anything, it's that you don't achieve change in America by being nice. — PolitiTweet.org

Vlad Savov @vladsavov

@d_a_keldsen @inafried Yeah, it's a tough life out there. Lots of salient experience to let a man pontificate on the subjects of poverty and racial discrimination. — PolitiTweet.org

@hattorihanzo99 @ourobororoboruo Is Frankie a journalist? Can you recognize the irony of accusing someone of excessive inference while doing worse yourself? Moreover, kindly consider that US journalism is not the entirety of the profession, and both trust in it and the circumstances of doing the job vary. — PolitiTweet.org

Vlad Savov @vladsavov

@hattorihanzo99 @ourobororoboruo Maybe because there already are masses of people participating in less demure protests. The implication of the original tweet is clear: protest ineffectually and quietly enough not to matter, pleasethankyou. — PolitiTweet.org
