2020-21 Covid Chronicles | Post-2020 Reflection | JUN 2020 Equality

One Cause for All Causes

In the quake of the Black Lives Matter movement, many more inequalities came to the forefront: inequality between the minorities and majorities, LGBTQ+ rights and colonial aftermath. 

Seemingly overnight, everyone had an opinion about the past and present in order to bring a better future. The fight for equality gave many "netizens" the right to cancel anyone who did not fit the new wave of advocating for equality. 

With Covid-19 still keeping most of the northern hemisphere in their homes, it was hard to ignore the voices that came from every social media stream. Between the Netflix, Prime, Disney+ and Hulu binging, most people were also glued to social media to find answers about this pandemic-driven chaos. 

We were very close to a real-life Hunger Games. Who was going to be cancelled next? Which sensitive topic will make us all sit uncomfortably? What will make us rethink our daily reality?

Regardless, every protest and anti-protest showed the world one thing: change is inevitable.


Next: Summer?
