It's possible the history books in 50 years will say a bunch of kids with unarticulated and poorly thought out grievances tried to burn down the country after being cooped up for 3 months and ingesting too much propaganda from Reddit and the public school system resulting in the re-election of Donald Trump.

One never knows when one sets out to be a hero what the end result will be.

We try to recreate the archetypes from the past. Our heroes. Their struggles.

What about when we try to fit those archetypes over a reality that is inappropriately matched to them? What about when we seek out grievances where there are none just because they have a hint of resembling the past?

The past shapes the present in this way.

Well, that is certainly one way to express support for the further entrenchment of racial inequities we find in our society today.
