Once you go black on Instagram you can never go back

The latest lame protest and virtue signalling stunt is posting a black screen on Instagram to protest the murder of George Floyd. A bunch of celebrity shit heads started it and now a whole lot of virtue signalling businesses are following suit. Many of the websites and business that we patronize are doing it. People that supply the stuff we sell on line. There is some pressure to go along with this or there would be some consequences.

I am posting photos of my flowers today. Beauty instead of these beasts. You can not surrender to the mob.

Still and all when will this lame virtue signalling stop?

I bet on never.

Never. It's free and other morons can tag on so it becomes a big circle jerk of utterly lame moral superiority. Twitter and other sm is a complete garbage dump.

It's the mass gatherings, stupid. This might really set us back.

Georgia's been out of lockdown for about a month and its Rt rate is highest now and above 1. Well it was this AM. Now SC is:

At least Space X didn't blow up. This boomer got a little smile at the corner of her mouth remembering the Apollo days.

Posting a black screen is the equivalent of putting a bag over your head.
OTOH, have you seen some of these people? And their social media?
It's not a bad idea.

It stops when people stop watching their movies, TV shows, etc.

It is better to light one looter than curse the darkness.

Probably it'll stop when unarmed blacks are no longer a full third of all death-by-cop events in America. Or when killer cops are effectively prosecuted and no longer protected by the code of silence, or allowed to shuffle back and forth between departments no matter how bad they are.

But I can see why such legitimate aims are upsetting to certain political agendas.

As for businesses, the big ones are getting on board. Amazon, etc. Maybe more of the small businesses could consider getting on board also. I'm sure many are.

Promoting the division of Americans against Americans and a denial of rights and basic humanity is bad for business. Expanding your customer base and dialing down the hate and resentment sounds like a better way to go about it but what do I know.
