"Black Lives Matters" (BLM) has now become the same as "All Lives Matters" (ALM) in our evolution of human consciousness to the extent the unique historical African-American slavery experience corresponds to "all's" current experience of slavery (albeit in a different form) to a*... less healthy/sane/desirable way of life we have been just taking for granted
*Lewis Mumford (and even the popular cartoon "South Park", Wal-Mart episode) explained it well in "Authoritarian and Democratic Technics" essay:
"The
center of authority in this new system is no longer a visible personality, an
all-powerful king: even in totalitarian dictatorships the center now lies in
the system itself, invisible but omnipresent: all its human components, even
the technical and managerial elite, even the sacred priesthood of science, who
alone have access to the secret knowledge by means of which total control is
now swiftly being effected, are themselves trapped by the very perfection of
the organization they have invented…"
Note: Deep environmentalist, author Derrick Jensen made me aware of this brilliant essay, and there happens to be a interesting/surprising connection of his !earlier-than-george-floyd's-death 8:46 long youtube video "lack of pandemics"
