It seems so much about being a good person involves resisting temptations and the urge to participate in a collective wrongdoing or evil, often initiated through good intentions. This is starkly demonstrated with the Kenosha, Wisconsin demonstrations a few years ago. Wanting to protect private property from vandalism is arguably a good intention, and wanting to protest excessive police behavior is also arguably a good intention, yet it ultimately led to a self-defense shooting that resulted in dead and permanently maimed protestors, and a young man who narrowly escaped going to prison for life and who will live with that event forever haunting him. What is Creator’s perspective?

One of the more signature components of any mass protest is the slogan chant. “What do we want? Equality! When do we want it? NOW!” is an example of such a chant. Many observers think such displays are a waste of time and have very little genuine utility when it comes to creating change. Yet, it seems to arise spontaneously whenever people want something collectively. So there is a collective belief in its utility and even effectiveness in creating desired change. There was even a recent report of a march in New York City where a group was chanting the above chant but substituting the words “dead cops” for “equality.” What can Creator tell us about the true power behind protest slogan chants?

Slogans, chants, and cheers are just such a natural part of collective human expression that few people really stop to ask, “Why are we doing this?” Can Creator answer that for us? Why do we just “naturally” do this sometimes inexplicable behavior?
