They want you to be calm and apathetic about the butchery their laws, their slanders, their 24/7 mass propaganda enables and encourages.
Every time you see this bullshit, your job is to make a note of the username, and comment "We see you. We're gonna find out who you are. Your complicity in these events will not be forgiven."
As for the father, watch his face, thats not typical grief. Thats also pressure. Someone put him under pressure. Ask yourself why?
This father was likely coerced into these statements by the DOJ or another element which has a suborganization specifically dedicated to doing just that in the face of a nonwhite-on-white crime: pressure victims into denouncing racism/making statements in support of the criminals.
It doesn't matter what people realize we can't organize and action is suicide, the only way people will act is if their immediate death is certain if they can get even a few extra seconds of survival by complying then they will. Even prisoners being walked to their executions rarely struggle.
The trick is to make them think they can win. If enough people think they can win, they will act. Why do you think all the messages before every large event in history were "we can win! they're pushovers! it could be over in an afternoon!". Look at the civil war. Years before it happened, right up to the last couple of years, all the talk from both sides was "it would be over in an week! It'd be like a picnic." That applies not just to war which I always discourage, but to any organized activity.
First, people have to believe they can win. People want to believe it will be easy. That they are morally justified. And second that righteousness has to be assuaged with the certainty of the glory of victory, of historic rightness, and fuelled, stoked, by outrage and the belief that they have the momentum if only they talk to others, that they are in the majority, that talking is all it will take before the organizing begins. It must become as certain as manifest destiny, that all the supporters of whatever organized movement choose to join, that their victory is not only inevitible, but the very act of speaking aqbout it, reaching out to others about it, will be immediately rewarded with the discovery that "They Are Not Alone" that there is greater 'resurging' WE out there, all sorts of people, just like them, just waiting, in every interaction, for someone to say "what everyone is thinking".
And by the apparent hand of providence the manufactured perception becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, as if a dam broke.
People are signal repeaters. Put a signal out there, and some percentage will repeat it. Put that signal out there enough, amplify it enough, long enough, and the signal becomes self-sustaining.
Now you know why they took out breitbart, why they targeted and subverted alex jones, why anyone running independent media is eventually bribed, blackmailed, destroyed financially by the courts, or killed.
The medium is the message.
Perception is, as well as the world of perceptions, also a medium, not simply a message.
As power is enacted through institutions as praxis, so perception is the foundation of institution.
Demoralization is not irreversible, it is not even sacred. The first, and the latter, were always lies.
Change the public perception, and the institutions fall.
You want to go kill someone? You do, don't you? But you can't even use that word 'kill', you're so scared of what they might do to you if you dared, all the while they're doing everything to you that you feared anyway, just slower. No, you won't kill anyone. Good. Because its not that kind of war.
You want to go Kill someone? Go kill the policeman in your head.
The medium is the message. Repeat it like mantra. Repeat it like prayer. "There is more of us than them. They are not immortal. They are not gods. No one elected them to rule. These people do not deserve to rule."
And then like gospel, spread that simple message to everyone you meet. Not one word less. Not a single word more.
And without an ounce of violence on our part, one day enough people will stop cooperating, and then like magic, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN, their table becomes a snare, and the regime capitulates under the weight of its own inertia.
That is the real meaning of acceleration.
They try to bait us into lawlessness and violence. We ceaselessly appear to swallow the message, even want* their message, all the while their very attempt to delay the inevitable? Their attempt to burn us out of the system through the slow downward spiral into oblivion (because they cannot win a kinetic war against the american public)? It becomes their noose, as the message of their own fallibility undoes their wanton attempts at totalitarianism striving after godhood and false invincibility.
Acceleration isn't about saying the emperor has no clothes.
it's about holding up a mirror so simple, so obvious, so clear, so sharp, it reflects the light of reason like a destroying, withering laser. The emperor has no clothes. The emperor is now on fire. Rome is burning.

And we lit it on fire with mere words.
