Listen to Malcolm X if you haven’t. In history, reformation follows revolutionary acts. While there are those who preach peace, there are also those who use violence to achieve peace. Those in power obviously don’t like to shed light on those that may take up violent acts.

I doubt if the french revolution was occuring today that CNN, CBS, The Washington Post, etc, would say anything. And if they did it would be to demonize the acts.

In the wake of the alleged shooting by Luigi Mangione, insurance providers started approving claims, saving lives. I don’t see major networks pointing out that fact.

      Coming from New York and driving south to DC, you see that awful sight of the American Dream and I always say to myself “you sure are”.

      I’m out of the loop here. I only know that New Jersey is close to New York and that there’s some rivalry between the two. Can you explain?

        The American Dream Mall is a monstrous shopping center and amusement park created as a shrine to capitalism, excess and everything wrong with America. Built over the span of 20 years on top of protected marshland finishing just in time to see everyone switch to online shopping. It received over a billion dollars in tax breaks but, is involved in multiple lawsuit including at least one for unpaid taxes because its on the brink if bankruptcy.

        On top of all that, the place is just terrible as a mall. I could keep going on about how much this place such and all the controversies its involved in but I don’t have the time.
