I'm sorry, it does not clear it up for me. Can you direct me to an example in which someone has argued that Maslow's theory explains the behaviour you're talking about? If I could see an example of this argument it could help clear things up.
Also, you mentioned earlier "12 black people or so that were killed by the police in the past 15 years" - I don't want to make assumptions here. What did you mean by that?
I just have a short IG post to go on, which I cant find but thats the jist. If you cant connect the dots then Ill assume its BS.
The 12 black people that protesters bring up as to the basis for their anger. Partial list is Sean Bell, Freddie Grey, Ahmed, Garner, Floyd etc.
Just wait until Trump imposes martial law and the shooting really starts.
Aaaah, I see. You mean approximately 12 prominent cases in which black people have been killed by police that have led to mass protests.
As for the Maslow thing, as BetCheckBet noted, it's not a perfect theory. It's a very general theory of motivation. For example, it helps explain why a homeless person doesn't spend their days seeking meaningful relationships because they're busy trying to fulfill their lower-order basic needs of shelter and hunger. A well-off person who doesn't have many friends spends more time seeking companionship than working towards a promotion at work. That type of thing. Of course, there are many instances in which this theory doesn't hold up like the homeless person who develops relationships and work addicts who put their job ahead of relationships. Anyways, I would argue that the "I can't breathe" thing is more about safety needs than physiological needs. It's not a literal lack of air, it's a constant fear of physical danger. Maslow might argue that constantly feeling vulnerable does not allow people to fulfill the higher order needs of social connection, esteem, and ultimately, self-actualization. Perhaps the destructive behaviours would be construed as a side-effect of a lack of safety needs.
Fun fact: Maslow married his cousin. He was also self-conscious about being very ugly.
look at this phony asshole and his cunt gold digging wife
so funny
The reports were he was incredibly pissed off that word he had retreated to bunker leaked out, and he wanted to make a statement about being unafraid. That’s idiotic on both points as the secret service tells the president when to go to the bunker and any photo of the president in public is surrounded by agents who have made it incredibly safe, so I don’t get it, but it’s Trump.
I would never think a president weak for listening to the guys who are experts at protecting you or think a picture in public is some act of bravery when you have an army of secret service to protect you. I don’t think most would even think much about it.
Also punch line per NYT is was literally all Ivanka's idea, and Esper had no fucking idea it was going to happen until it happened.
Esper literally went on the record to say it. He thought they were going to view a vandalized bathroom and speak to the troops and suddenly Trump was gassing people at a church.

If you make a bet and get 2-1 and it goes off at 8-1 you got crushed regardless of results.
