I have a signal for people like that.
Protests following the killing of George Floyd

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Black guy gets killed by white cop. International news. Football players kneel in a circle. Footballer celebrates goal by showing message of support on shirt. Virtue-signalling tweets galore. Riots. World-wide protests.
Something scary is happening.
And what is scary about it?
Troll.
I bet that it's peekaboo?
Agreed and you are the very personification of that something scary.
I've ran into you before regarding evolution and religion and I am not surprised to see your positioning in here.
Indeed, you appear to be suffering from some sort of cognitive problem as you’ve repeated the same post. Do you have any other symptoms? Let us know if we can help.
Not a troll. Actually means it.
Thanks for your kind offer. If I need help, I know now where to turn.
He likes to argue on a variety of topics but he burnt his bridges with me when he suggested Sven Goran Eriksson replace Ole.
Unfeckingbelievable. Even in such a high-profile scenario, the police twats faked the autopsy. As obscure as it is, it is also totally expected.
Oooft.
Huh?
I'm sharing a quote on one of our leading activists in apartheid's view here in South Africa on this matter. Also relevant to the discussion regarding folk who are against riots and/or protesting etc.
Anyone can be a keyboard warrior, it's up to each person in their own sphere of influence to not be a bystander to racial prejudice or be silent on such matters when it is blatantly out in the open, and if there is something we are able to do, however small.
I live in a society where it is racism is all over, and its so easy to be neutral and say, oh well it doesn't affect me personally, so it's fine. Sure we don't say that outright, but we can show it with our actions.
Not all of us can be activists or MLK's or the like, but let's not be neutral and rather find a way we can contribute in our own way.
But on your actually question. If it also means helping change someone on here's view or opinion on certain issues that's being discussed in here, that are clearly aiding some of the problems we have, then hey, great. However, based on Cafe debate history, opinions hardly change, and one must be a true optimist to think we can change people's views on matters to a life changing degree I guess.
Saying that, it is true that just updating your Facebook profile pic to have the BLM cover or whatever, does nothing, neither does posting on here, which clearly wasn't want I or Tutu was referring to, but more on the lines of what I posted about our lives in society, and our contributions in our daily interactions.

Somebody mentioned all the anti-Vietnam war protests. Well guess what....they achieved pretty much feck-all. The war escalated under Nixon and dragged on even when he was unpopular and being impeached. How about the Iraq war protests? Same thing...feck-all.
I'm very sceptical that any drastic changes will occur from this event. The elite's grip on power is stronger than ever and they have too much to lose to let it slip.

Bye Bye
I reckon it'll be more or less done by Wednesday/Thursday. Although it may kick off again depending on how the trial goes.
that weirdo is also homophobic
These days, if you say that Sven should've replaced Ole, they'll throw you in jail.
This looks encouraging in terms of holding the other officers accountable. Any lawyer types or Law and Order fans know what specific charges they could apply to the other cops involved?

And a Ben Shapiro fan. And a Trump supporter. And against United having a women's team.
So an all around great guy then.
I feel bad bringing the whole Eriksson thing up now.
He's PM'd me to let me know it was only a joke so thought I'd let you all know.
I've never heard of that guy, but my immediate impression when he made his list post was that he was referring to some kind of (((globalist))) cultural-Marxist conspiracy, but didn't want to actually say it.
Sadly, and unfortunately I think the same. I remember from that generations of pain video with the 45 year old, 31, and 16 year old, the 31 year old telling the 16 year old guy that in 10 years he will be doing the same thing still. I really wish it won't be the case, I really do, but just feels like Déjà vu every time.
Yeah one to invite round for a beer after lockdown for sure.
That's very specific, mine was simply a weirdo.
It's my hope that social media - something I personally find so grim and needy - can finally do something good by exposing the reality and stimulating progress. Being a socio-political apparatus.
Silly boy, he’s way too alpha for lockdown.
We have to be specific of the kind of weirdo, there are too many on here to warrant a ban on the general kind of weirdo.
Damn I'm such a beta ****

Good point, on the Caf calling someone a weirdo is like saying their breath oxygen.I'm shocked.
Thank you
Nice
Sven had a face made out of electricity and ham.
Good old Sven - if you scored in a televised game on Sunday, you'd be in his England squad by Monday...even if you were Brazilian.
