Urgent: Demand Netflix cancel video programs that glorify thugs

mercredi 10 juin 2020 à 02:00

Everyone: consider demanding that Netflix cancel the video programs that glorify thugs.

I signed the petition after some hesitation, because I condemn Netflix totally for its injustice to its users. To watch anything via Netflix entails surrendering to injustice.

I cannot envision Netflix as ever doing any sort of business in a way that doesn't mistreat the customers. I think the right campaign goal is to eliminate Netflix entirely, not just a subset of the videos it streams.

However, eventually I concluded that the petition does not explicitly legitimize Netflix's business practices, so I could sign.

Whether you sign the petition or not, please join me in >rejecting Netflix yourself.

Philadelphia thugs welcomed a gang of 50 - 70 white men who threatened Black Lives Matter protesters with various sorts of weapons, and attacked journalists.

A thug that tolerates partisan violence or threats of same ought to be fired, at least. Will Philadelphia fire them? And the officer in charge of that group?

Police brutality meets protests against police brutality

*Protests about police brutality are met with wave of police brutality across US.*

*Police — Not Protesters — Are Overwhelmingly Responsible for Attacking Journalists.* 80% of the reported attacks were by thugs.

(satire) *Calling the various geriatric protesters the "greatest threat to officers thus far," the Buffalo Police Department requested reinforcements Friday until the frail elderly men rampaging through their city were fully contained.*
