Look the social elites and demonstrators are both a bunch of child fucking pedo's I dont know why you act like there's some good side to be chosen here between the two. At least the elites keep their fucking mouths shut.

I was focusing on the topic of the thread, yet you accuse me of "ignoring the issue" because I don't entertain your tangents? OK. :lol:

You can conflate riots and protests all you want, but you are only exposing your allegiance to the social elite by doing so.

Perhaps you should reserve your moral indignation for a ruling class that has gradually delegitimated itself over the past four decades through its consolidation of power and wealth on one end of the social spectrum.


The issue was bringing out a guillotine amidst widespread social unrest. Now you can scream "ruling class" all you want, but they are going to be fine if and when the riots turn messy again. And if there was a coherent plan to do something about inequality I would like to see it. All I see on the streets destroy our history, abolish the police and steal shit. And burning down our cities isn't helping the poor, just like be mad at the ruling class isn't a strategy.


It was a peaceful protest. No one was hurt. The protesters appear to be low-wage Amazon employees, not violent rioters. The fact that you appear incapable of distinguishing between the two groups perfectly illustrates your bias. All you see on the streets are people that "destroy our history...and steal shit?" What a surprise.

One major thrust of the anti-police protests has been to press local governments to divert funding from the police force so that citizens can receive a higher quality of services such as day care, health care, education, afterschool programs, and vocational training. These are essential building blocks of a sustainable society, a social foundation that elites have undermined for forty years. You want to preserve society? It's probably best to establish social conditions under which that society can be reproduced rather than ensuring those conditions no longer exist. American leaders have largely failed for decades--and so do arguments in support of the cannibalistic status quo they have created. Rioting and destruction do not stand in opposition to the neoliberal order; they are its logical outgrowth.

When there are violent riots going on around everyday, bringing out a guillotine is not encouraging peace. And I don't see starving protestors stealing bread. I see people smashing stores to steal Gucci handbags here in Chicago. Nationally, I see angry mobs ripping down statues, and burning down buildings. You know as well as I who actions like that will end up hurting.

I don't see a populist economic uprising. I see a radicalized group that wants to burn it all down.

That happens when you focus solely on rioters rather than the larger protests that have taken place and are ongoing in many places. That's your choice.

Other than that, how was the rest of the play Mrs. Lincoln?

The "peaceful protestors" are all just there for their instagram and to pretend otherwise is hilarious.

The peaceful protestors need to get the rioters out of the picture. I know several of the peaceful protestors. They are good people whom I have known anywhere from 7-35 years. They are well intentioned and thoughtful.

But.....

It's like worrying about a broken leg while you are having a massive heart attack. The broken leg is important, but it isn't going to get top attention from the paramedics.

Maybe the incompetents running many of the cities across the U.S. should make an effort to figure out how to do their jobs.

Well all these democrat run cities are literally on fire from riots and the democrat governors of those states seem intent on letting it get worse and worse.

That is just it. The legit protestors are not equipped to get the rioters out of the picture whatsoever because they are non-violent while the rioters and organizers of this shit are violent, organized and equipped to fuck the legit ones up. This is never going to have a good ending for those who legitimately went out to the streets to protest against whatever. The Soros funded anarchists are in essence a guerilla warfare army. Sort of the same shit that went on in Russia and Germany before the Bolsheviks(sp?) and the Nazis took over those countries. The same thing is appearing right now before our eyes in this country.
