Scientist James Lindsay: George Floyd's assassination kicks off the “Cultural Revolution” in the United States processes that marked the beginning of a “cultural revolution” similar to that which took place in China in the 1960s and 1970s. James Lindsay, an American scientist and author of the book Cynical Theories. How everyone started arguing about race, gender and identity and what's wrong with that.
According to him, the main difference from what happened in China is that the main vector of ideological confrontation in the United States is the racial issue and the disputes around it. Lindsay did not rule out outbreaks of violence: either as a consequence of a certain event comparable in magnitude to the murder of Floyd, or simply due to the fact that racial tensions in American society will reach critical mass at some point.

On May 25, 2020, police officer Derek Shovin killed 46-year-old African American George Floyd during his detention in Minneapolis. The police put the suspect on the asphalt, and Chauvin restrained Floyd by stepping on his neck with his knee. He complained that he could not breathe, and then lost consciousness. He was taken to a hospital where he died shortly thereafter. Although shortly before the incident, Floyd was taking strong drugs, the doctors attributed the cause of death to Chauvin's actions.
The death of an African American provoked the largest wave of protests in American history. Four police officers were fired after the incident. On April 21, 2021, the jury already found Chauvin guilty of a crime.
