America is giving up on the pandemic?

I mean, people like to throw around race war occasionally now but I only hear about it from the far-right.

Nobody on the far-left is advocating for the extreme violence. During the 1960s, I believe Malcolm X was ready to have a real war to defend Black Americans. Now, at worse the discord is about justifying some looting that has diminished.

I have seen many people talking about "burning the system to the ground".

I think that's a metaphor like they want to destroy systematic racism or prison industrial complex? But I haven't seen those posts. Anything public you wanna share?

Maybe we could consider it purely metaphorical, if there hadn't been a rash of arsons across the US in recent weeks.

I mean... I'm was looking up stuff and it seems the arsons have been up since March at least in Vancouver.
