I still see so many posts about police killings and brutality, massive failures of the US legal system. I feel like if I keep posting them then it just becomes overbearing and negative and people will turn off. Or the facebook algo will isolate those of us who care into our own little echo chamber. Now the news cycle has turned - the next event will push the previous one off the public attention and no real progress will have been made. Thats a bit depressing, right ? All they have to do is make sure that the protests and cries of the populace are tolerated for one news cycle, and then inevitably it will just get washed away and nasty business proceeds as normal. So we could say that the news cycle and the way that these issues are discussed in public is a major impediment to any meaningful change. That goes for all political, environmental and social issues. Occupy broke that for a while because it simply wouldnt shut up. Until eventually it did (when winter came last year). How do we take control of the public debate ?
