Ever since the 90's, almost every protest or riot that has been on TV in the past few decades has been based on circumstances everyone has been misled or lied to about. I say this generally, I'm not speaking about any specific ideology or any particular group. All the protests follow the same pattern of epiphany, yet they keep happening.

The ones that took place during covid scammed us all because covid required those in charge to say "don't worry, us being out in the open didn't cause the virus to spread, we took precautions". Today, covid commercials will say those same groups that those protests were made for were disproportionately affected by covid as if it's because of human right, and nobody is connecting it to the fact the protests happened during a time when every restaurant had plexiglass barriers. Again, not speaking for any group in particular, this was a fault for the Canadian truckers, BLM, those Trump-voting Libertarians, etc.
