I never claimed he was only doing it for the views.

That is what you were and continue to imply, though.

I also think it's pretty fucked that it took a Lego collection to wake people up

I imagine this is deeply contemptuous to you, but this is the kind of thing that gets people invested in politics.

For one, there could be a lot of young people here who missed BLM.

For two, the typical person is really fucking cynical. It may just be that this lego thing actually feels achievable, whereas state-sanctioned murder is like... even BLM didn't accomplish anything.

I understand that this may be embarassing for you, that it's about legos, but where there is energy, you should lean into it. There are people who care now about what these police are doing, so be the voice in their ear that guides them beyond this one incident.
