An eye-opening exploration of American policy reform, or lack thereof, in the wake of the murder of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement and how the country can do better in the future.
In 2020, while the COVID-19 pandemic raged, the United States was hit by a ripple of political discontent the likes of which had not been seen since the 1960s. The spark was the viral video of the horrific police murder of an unarmed Black man in Minneapolis. The killing of George Floyd galvanized a nation already reeling from COVID and a toxic political cycle. Tens of thousands poured into the streets to protest. Major corporations and large nonprofit groups—institutions that are usually resolutely apolitical—raced to join in. The fervor for racial justice intersected with the already simmering demands for change from the #MeToo movement and for economic justice from Gen Z. The entire country suddenly seemed to be roaring for change in one voice.
Then nothing much happened.
In How Elites Ate the Social Justice Movement, Fredrik deBoer explores why these passionate movements failed and how they could succeed in the future. In the digital age, social movements flare up but then lose steam through a lack of tangible goals, the inherent moderating effects of our established institutions and political parties, and the lack of any real grassroots movement in contemporary America. Hidden beneath the rhetoric of the oppressed and the symbolism of the downtrodden lies the inconvenient fact that those doing the organizing, messaging, protesting, and campaigning are predominantly drawn from this country’s more upwardly mobile educated classes. Poses are more important than policies.
DeBoer lays out an alternative vision for how society’s winners can contribute to social justice movements without taking them over, and how activists and their organizations can become more resistant to the influence of elites, nonprofits, corporations, and political parties. Only by organizing around class rather than empty gestures can we begin the hard work of changing minds and driving policy.

The problem with the 21st c. social justice movement, a.k.a. The Left, is that it has been conditioned to only focus on symptoms. Focusing on underlying causes has become taboo, because “conspiracy theories”.
The fact that major corporations are joining in en masse with the now mainstream Woke causes should be food for thought: nothing will change when those in power are “supporting” your cause.

@Thamus - Other than the fact that much of the left isn’t with the current social justice movement, yeah, that’s a very accurate summary.

Plutocratic elites eat everything. It’s just greed.

They didn’t eat it, it was controlled opposition from the start

Nothing about the BLM, Antifa and the riots that engulfed the United States in 2020 were organic. Not at all, these were unleashed on the country in effort to make sure Trump was not elected. Much of the Covid policy was likewise harnessed by the teacher’s union.
These were all moves to make life for Americans as horrible as possible under the assumption, they would demand change in their choice for president. Trump still won the 2020 election and they took a month to manufacture the votes to win in strategic swing-states. If Biden really got that many votes there is no way his support now would be as pathetically low as it’s been for 2023 and 2024. If he had gotten more votes than even the beloved Obama, he’d be a culture icon, a legend in the democrat party.
The election was stolen after intentionally ruining the lives of millions of Americans.
Don’t think for one second that if Trump wins in 2024, they won’t unleash the same hell from their marxist street thugs along with all the new illegal aliens and foreign combatants that now reside in our country. It’s gonna be a long uphill battle but We Will Win.

addendum:
These are the same tactics the CIA and state department orchestrate in foreign countries to cause regime change.
They are called “color revolutions” and that is exactly what went on in 2020 before the election.
