CRAZY

From 1966 to 1976, Cultural Revolution was happened in PRC. It was carried out by Red Guard under the instruction of Mao Zedong.

In this year, another wave of cultural revolution under the name of anti-racism banner is undergoing in major cities in United States of America. It is also happening at internet realm. No one from Donald Trump's administration and Republican leadership instruct this kind of movement, but a lot of leftists, including Antifa, Social Justice Warriors and anarchists endorse and pushing it further. The most ridiculous thing so far is the establishment of 'autonomous zone' by anarchists in Seattle. At the same time, under the name of anti-racism, various demands such as defunding police and abolishing so-called 'white privilege' and 'systemic racism' has been voiced out.

Actually, Black Lives Matter was initiated mainly by Black community since last decade in order to voice out social injustice and inequality faced by them. It is once again triggered and come out from the dormancy after the George Floyd's incident in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Nothing wrong to voice out anger and call out police brutality as the principal problem, but need to ensure peaceful protest to be done, as well as to stop looting and violence under disguise of this protest. Even the police officer took part into the protest too as sign of solidarity! Sadly, this protest has been hijacked by Antifa, a far-left organisation and fellow leftists extremists to cancel anything perceived subjectively as racism and 'white privilege' such as Christopher Columbus statue, 'Gone With the Wind' and Gordon Klein. Not surprising that many people, especially from Black community question how the movement under the name of Black Lives Matter deteriorates into its crazy and hypocritic version. Sad and unfortunate for America who has endured much challenge from COVID-19 pandemic and nonsensical political/partisan drama throughout the Trump presidency.

I am not American, but I do pay attention on how Donald Trump perform his responsibility and governance as POTUS by restoring common sense, 'build the wall' and 'drain the swamp'. He should get tough to solve this kind of social disorder and chaos as soon as possible (not like the mayor of Seattle who do little thing about it). This is important for him to get much credential from fencesitters besides his supporters in order to enable him to be reelected in upcoming November.

Try compare both crisis-handling style of Jenny Durkan (mayor of Seattle) and Donald Trump (POTUS) regarding anarchist's establishment of 'Autonomous Zone' in Seattle. See the huge difference!
