These kinds of things have happened all through history and in just about every country. They've happened in America before, as we know. Riots aren’t happening in Thailand right now, where I live, but they have in the past, and I’m sure they will in the future. People get upset about something and they throw a fit, break things, sometimes start a revolution, but usually go home after they’ve had their fun. “Civilization is...

Five years ago, as grief and anger over George Floyd’s murder ignited national protests, top Democrats joined the demonstrations, called for cutting police budgets and, in a ham-fisted effort at solidarity, even knelt in kente cloth at the Capitol.

Five years after the 2020 racial justice movement prompted a wave of cultural changes and then an enduring political backlash,...
