Because the right often says the dangers from COVID have been exaggerated, and that the people pushing masks and lockdowns and all sorts of stuff don't want to consider the economic or psychological damage. Unless you count "the government should just give everyone free money (except big business)".
There's also marked hypocrisy when many people on the left support BLM marches, which certainly don't social distance and often wear ineffective masks. Not that bandanas were exactly medical grade to begin with.
You have people committing acts of terrorism ("The use of violence or the threat of violence, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political goals.") and claiming to be part of AntiFa. So obviously the label "AntiFa terrorist" is warranted for those people.
There are plenty of reasons to dislike police but this isn't one of them.
The 40% claim is based on a study from the early 90s so it does need to be taken with a pinch of salt in light of probable attitude (and indeed police demographic) shifts since that period.
This said, while the statistic shouldn't be taken as ironclad fact it does serve a possibly useful rhetorical function when cited (in good faith, of course) in public discourse. IE, citing it to claim that 40% police today are indisputably domestic abusers is wrong, but using it to point to a clear issue with how the police encourages certain relationships to violence is legitimate. Used right it can problematise the police as an institution and question the legitimacy of their monopoly on violence. This gives the 40% meme some polemical use outside of the merely factual insofar as the questions it raises are being examined in serious scholarly works and deserve further attention. (For example Alex S. Vitale's the end of policing is an excellent book I'm reading right now which touches on these topics.)
In terms of better statistics, there are qualitative studies ones which look at police organisational culture and how it breeds attitudes which can normalise violent behaviours amongst police officers such as police brutality, discriminatory attitudes and violent tendencies. Claire Renzetti's feminist criminology reader examines this from an external crime-management perspective (IE police attitudes causing problems in how domestic violence is policed etc.), but there's also this comprehensive article by Barbara Armacoast that examines the relation between organisational culture and deviant/violent police behaviours.
This was particularly memorable for me, because some of the 'bad' masks were commonly worn by BLMers during their protests and riots.
Of course, BLM was yelling at the top of their lungs, not social distancing, and sometimes taking masks off entirely, but for some strange reason the left ignored the elephant in the room.

yes, I'm Marxist. we have to take a look at the facts and how germany was inevitably going to invade east and how the pact bought the USSR time. https://www.amazon.com/Blood-Lies-Evidence-Accusation-Bloodlands/dp/0692200991
I would recommend this book (assuming of course your not some disingenuous Marxist arguing in bad faith) it will explain the many reasons why you are wrong!

>it clearly is way too simplistic
"There hasn't been a single authoritative work that clarifies and informs the lay reader about advances in the practice of modern medicine. The American Medical Association Encyclopedia of Medicine, in filling that need, proves itself the definitive source of knowledge and reassurance for every American home. In short, it is a medical information powerhouse, written in jargon-free language by a special team of medical writers and presented in an exceptionally usable A-to-Z format -- the most thorough and up-to-the-minute medical reference text yet prepared for the general American public, as well as for libraries and schools.
It's unique subject coverage includes: new drugs; special tests; common, rare, and recently-identified diseases, disorders and conditions; state-of-the-art surgical procedures; conflicting or varying opinions; the translation of esoteric terminology -- all complex areas of contemporary medicine that may prove confusing to anyone, even when consulting a physician."

Not addicted but have had birth control pushed on them the second they hit puberty. Get them conditioned to take it every day under the false guise of “You need birth control because there is no other way to deal with period cramps ! You need birth control because there is just no other way to control acne !”
Make them think they need to be on it and have it for every little thing; so they can have a loyal voting block “the rethuglicans want to take your special pill away vote for us or else you might have to pay for it your self “.
If you think I’m exaggerating the Dems wrote a whole book on how single college educated women , and immigrants, were the key to a permeant democrat control. Why do you think corporations are willing to pay for abortions but not maternity leave ? More disposable income to spend on crap and less reasons why you can’t work more.

“ While the ranks of white working-class voters will not grow over the next decade, the numbers of professionals, working, single, and highly educated women, and minorities will swell. They are products of a new postindustrial capitalism, rooted in diversity and social equality, and emphasizing the production of ideas and services rather than goods. And while some of these voters are drawn to the Democratic Party by its New Deal past, many others resonate strongly to the new causes that the Democrats adopted during the sixties. These new causes help ensure that these groups of voters will continue to support Democrats rather than Republicans, paving the way for a new majority.”
Wow, the Leftists are the exact definition of Mainstream media NPCs, they belive on everything the Mainstream media tells them. Those guys are the exact definition of Manufacturing Consent.
A) Sure, but why should we link a genetic code to life itself?
B) I believe the soul is the mind. And the mind only comes in a minimum of 20 weeks after conception. There's a very interesting book I think you'd like called "Think" that provides various arguments all about the soul. Does it exist? If so what is it like? Does it exist outside or inside the body? Does it prove an afterlife or reincarnation?
The fact is, no one actually knows if a soul is real or not. It's just this intangible concept that everyone thinks refers to the same thing when they all imagine it in different ways. Based on this, it's not right to push our own perceptions onto other people, who do not think the way we do.
If it’s this book it’s not aimed at 4-8 year olds. It’s more 17/18 and above, and isn’t erotic or anything like everyone’s making it out to be. It’s a “discovering your inner self” memoir or a “coming out” memoir.
>Can you provide evidence that those books actually had anything related to CRT?
The fact that the publisher didn't immediately sue for missing out on a multi million dollar PO based on false testimony comes to mind.
>Can you please explain to me how a math textbook has CRT in it anyways?

Oh really. There are a bunch if you spend any effort too look at it.

Which is even more snowflakey than "x is not my president" since any dumb fuck with this flag can't accept reality.
Yet here is the exact flag pinned to the sign of a local (and soon to be out of buiness) auto shop. This the second one too. With a Flag over the uk because he got in trouble.

Heres a good book on the topic, it also covers the stores in company towns and company money. Basically lefties try to claim that companies paying you with company bux is oppression because you cant use that wage anywhere else, while that is sorta true, company stores were often cheaper compared to regular stores.
Yes and thats why many capitalists support unions, it is your right to negotiate how much you should be paid, however it is unfair for the government to force the company to pay you an X wage.
Mises has a talk on anti monopoly laws
Please don't make me dig up photos of protesters yelling and touching each other. Heck, just look up the 'wall of moms'.
And, of course, if non-medical masks alone were effective, why the need for lockdowns?
Right wingers want yo lock up the liberals list for offending their traditional values. You know, kind of like Joseph McCarthy.
>There’s been only one thing wrong with the famous methods of you or that other great American Senator Joe McCarthy: You have been too kind, too courteous, too considerate, too decent to realize in the fullest sense the viciousness and venom of the left’s smear bund that’s dedicated to drive every effective anti-communist from public life. The communists and their New Dealer cousins may have their family quarrels at times, but essentially they have been united, united for 21 years in a popular front regime of the left.
