Balance 

Balance is not moving a Confederate statue somewhere nobody will argue over it and keeping it hidden, like an ostrich head. Balance is a Martin Luther King statue here in your face, and right next to it is a Confederate statue in your face, whether you like it or not. It's not compromising everything to get along, since that's a good way to end up fucked by the people trying to get you to compromise (and lose) everything.

Balance is not always pretty or peaceful, and it isn't meant to be that way.

Coronavirus 

The coronavirus didn't change life for everybody. It was never strong enough, and life is worth losing.

If you know who doesn't want things to return to the way they were before the coronavirus, you know who's been benefitting the most from the country getting closer and closer to a totalitarian state.

Bold 

Not shy.

Percy was just a little too bold about telling the medic he was going to ride the lightning before he got pepper sprayed in the face, since their jurisdiction was in the guy's face, as they would say.

New normal 

Sound a lot like a new order, except with different wording.

Nobody was accepting the new order, so the same people tried to take over with a new normal.

Coronavirus 

A way to get people used to following orders and dealing with sleazy people, instead of thinking for themselves.

The coronavirus is the perfect excuse to try and run anybody off who disagrees with you. Still, not everybody uses the excuse because they can. Not everybody is like that, not everybody tries to take advantage of every oppurtunity they can find to use it. Not everybody is an oppurtunist.

Murderer 

Even if a guy tested positive for the coronavirus and was terminally ill with it, kneeling on his neck will still cause premature death, death before he was meant to die. Even if he was a guy who did drugs and other things nobody would be proud of.

Killing a drug addict or an ex drug addict would make somebody as much a murderer as killing somebody who never touched drugs and was thought to be clean, pure and wholesome by many people.

Vaccine line 

A vaccine line is still a line to fall into. Instead of being told another country (like China) is the enemy, people are told the coronavirus is the enemy. If you don't stand for something, you'll fall in line for anything you're told you're supposed to fall in line for.

A vaccine line is another line for an entity to try and keep people from getting out of, or standing against.
