It wouldn't fit there, as no one gives a $hit about it and has generated no unrest; however, your point is well-taken about it not being a Covid topic.  My mistake.

Admins made carveout to discuss COVID, but they have not made a similar carveout to discuss protests and riots. That's why one is fair game around here and the other isn't. On information and belief, there's a ton of folks on twitter who'd welcome you with open arms to debate police brutality and rioting all day and all night until everyone is blue in the face. But not here, thankfully.

Many Americans are quick to assert that the US is #1, but many of these same people do not understand how systemic failures (health care, racism, poverty) and personal failures (lack of responsibility, anti-science bias) have converged to make the US response to COVID is one of the worst in the world.  And most of these people have no interest in learning why, either.

Some might call it a "herd mentality"?
