It's all about context. We are in the midst of a pandemic situation and on-going financial/generational crisis since 2007. This is the culmination phase of the
4th turning in the multi-decade generational cycle. Context is along a 4th turning theme going all the way back to 1960's, civil unrest for black emancipation began with boomer coming of age in the mid 1960's, Martin Luther King, then Rodney King and now recent 'black lives matters' incidents happening with increasing frequency and intensity 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019 against cop killings. This could be the spark that brings this theme for change to a head, violently if necessary. Repeated callous, needless, authoritarian cop killing of 'presumed innocents' needs to be addressed at the institutional level that has failed for over 50 years to effect the needed change .... changes like these only happens on dark and stormy nights in a time of crisis. The generational time of crisis is here and now, fully blown. Given the volatile atmosphere, mandatory masked protesters, unemployment levels and cop over-reach from 3 months of lock downs, it's really bad timing with the practicalities on the ground also.
Historically pandemics often give rise to crisis and violent insurrection, usually targetting the extremes of wealth inequality, access to justice, access to resources, etc, that the golden times have fostered. Read The 4th Turning, stay informed, effects of Winter will not be denied, 10 more years to run.
