A little context: What happened to George Floyd is a true tragedy. And I completely agree that racism is an important problem for us to fix. It also seems clear that trump is making things worse.
But zooming out, it seems to me that MOST of the blame for the widespread rioting we've been seeing should be laid at the feet of the oligarchs and the congressmen and senators they've bought (which is most of them). We need to get this message out to the masses so that they will understand it. Zuckerberg and Gates and Bezos and Musk and all the less well known oligarchs and plutocrats simply must be reined in. Monopolies like Amazon must be broken up. Taxes must be collected. Income and wealth inequalities must be reduced.
We're sitting on a tinder box.
