What is the Coronavirus Revolution?
Covid-19 + mass unemployment + balooning social inequality + racist self-serving US president = CORONAVIRUS REVOLUTION.
Social movements, like the one we are seeing in the United States today, are sparked by people like George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breona Taylor, and others in the same way that Rosa Parks did on December 1, 1955, when she ignited the Civil Rights Movement.
The Amy Cooper incident in New York’s Central Park added more fuel to the fire when she falsely accused a black man of threatening her.
A revolution is always unexpected and one step ahead of those who want to crush it.
But the big question is where all these protests will take us. Will they be suppressed with violence or will it be the beginning of a more just and inclusive world?
