What are they hoping to gain from this insincere virtue signalling?
They are not really
hoping to gain anything per say, but are using the BLM rhetoric as a
means for DIFFERENT AGENDAS. Depending on the “Group” embracing
it.
This is a visible
characteristic of who we are and the way we act as---(the human species.)
We were not created
in God’s image, instead we are a unique species on the planet, with
many flaws, both physically, mentally and emotional.
We develop culture,
and sometimes that culture is just plain wrong, but it continues
until we dig ourselves out of it.
For example, not
long ago the culture in the United States was that slavery was a God
Given Right. But little by little we started growing out of it. (It
did cost many lives to get out of it---Civil War)
Now the United
States as well as most of the Western world is going through another
culture change. Don’t know how it will turn out.
But in General
,”People hold potentially misguided beliefs for all sorts of
reasons” and then they run with it until another group stands up
and puts a stop to it.
People want to be
loyal to the values of their family, friends, political party, or
religion. Some want to make a good impression for their boss and
potential future employers. Others want to avoid conflict around
those with whom they know will disagree.
And that’s what
happening right now. The BLM ideology has been born and it has now spread to the point of infecting other Governments.
The human species
has the capability of being rational, Yet at the same time often
reasons very poorly to the detriment of many innocent victims.Causing havoc that will take years to fix.
The BLM is an “Idea”
that has taken off and the majority are embracing it. It’s causing
division and tearing a nation. Now it’s affecting other Countries.
I don’t know what the end result will be, but this is just one of many
times that humans have embraced an Idea while at the same time are
ignoring the consequences.
