bloomer
A place for optimism, relentless positivity, anti-doomerism, and snuggle sessions.
We're all in this together, and a better world is possible!
This is now also a space for organizing tips for our collective survival as we confront climate change and everything else. Still no doom-posting. We're here to work together, support each other, and boldly face the future.
Rules:
-
Familiarize yourself with the site-wide Code of Conduct
-
No doom, no gloom, only bloom. There's plenty of room for doomerism elsewhere. This community is solely for having a positive outlook on the future and spreading good vibes.
-
Be kind to your fellow users. This also means no arguing in the comm. Arguments and negativity are not conducive to blooming. Constructive discussion is good. No interest-policing. Support your comrades in their joy!
-
Always share good news. We can't exactly enforce this one, but if you have good news, please share it with us! Keeping happiness and positivity to yourself is the twelfth type of liberalism.

That's true. I mean, a lot of people who participated in 2020-BLM were too young for either Occupy or 2012-BLM so it makes sense as a matter of course.
But, other than the burning of a police station (
), as far as I can remember all those things were done many times in both Occupy and 2012-BLM too despite the presence of libs. Libs do sometimes like to riot porn as a phase of youthful indiscretion.
BLM 2020 ranged. I also remember events with the police to prove they weren't ACAB but just wanted police reforms and an end to racial brutality in particular. There was also one video I saw of a large group tackling and dragging someone in Black Bloc and handing them over to cops to appear to maintain civil, peaceful protest which really left me speechless.
