OCEANIA HAS NEVER BEEN AT WAR WITH MINNEAPOLIS: George Floyd riots rewritten as “2020 fires.”
“The 2020 fires.”
I wonder how long it took them to come up with that. After all, describing the multiple-day terrorization of a city by mobs, the burning down, vandalization, and utter destruction of local businesses. The violence and terror.
It’s hard to find a nice way to describe a building being gutted by fire without SOME reference to the events which, literally, sparked it.
But they did. They found a way.
It was “the 2020 fires.” As if Mrs. O’Leary’s cow just happened to bump over a kerosene lamp and “poof,” up went Minneapolis.
Clever.
It’s a fiery but mostly peaceful memory holing.
