If this was Beijing and not Minneapolis, the riots would be over before they got started, and every single rioter would be either riddled with real bullets or run over by tanks if not arrested. That's the thing about riots; they only work against an at least partially moral government.
The only thing I genuinely envy about China is that if this bullshit happened there they would gun down the rioters and throw the survivors in labor camps for a few decades.
 
If we get something as meme-able as the Ferguson Express out of all of this it'll all be worth it.

I want to go to sleep, but I need to see how the Dallas arc ends first. Decisions.
 
It's possible the 1990s model of multiculturalism only failed because people moved away from it, 1990s multiculturalism was never, ever predicted on openly hating and being racist about white people, things only started to go to hell in a hand basket when anti-racism meant "except for white people"

Back in the 1990s it was white supremacists who were the trouble makers rocking the boat whereas everyone else just wanted to be left alone, today it's the left who rock the boat.

It used to be about just about treating everyone with respect and white racists were the ones not willing to do that, but now it's the left that refuses to simply treat everyone with respect.

Had people always stuck to the 1990s mindset I doubt things would ever have gotten this bad, but people chose to radicalize and this is what we get.
I wonder if that's true or if I just consumed the media uncritically then. Frankly I'm leaning toward the latter
 
Shit like this is slowly making me misanthropic and I absolutely hate it. I don't wanna be a cynical asshole, but this stuff just makes me tired. I'm sick of the division. Sick of incompetent authorities. Sick of the media amping this shit up and gaslighting people and turning even family against each other. Sick of people cheering on rioting and assault and bending over backwards to defend the undefendable.

I wanna keep being the ray of sunshine girl who always sees the good in people and the bright side of things but these last few months seem determined to crush that. I've been trying my hardest to avoid slipping into apathy, and it's been working for the most part, but these last few days have just hammered down on me.

Sorry for the doomposting. I'm just so goddamn tired of current year.
Come sit next to Uncle Johnny and have some Wild Turkey.

Just laugh at it all and repeat after me: "We should have gone toe to toe with the USSR in 1989 instead."
 
I have to wonder if riots with looting (and destroying unrelated property; I can see the logic of lighting up Minneapolis PD but not Target or Autozone) end up reinforcing negative stereotypes upon certain communities.
Uh...yes, yes they do. How is this even a question lol
 
I know plenty of blacks that busted their ass through the 60s, 70s, 80s and byeond who would be PISSED THE FUCK OFF that contemporary blacks are using their legacy to loot, steal, and be FUCKING NIGGERS. You are Americans, you are better than this. Get your shit straight or be lost forever. This is in fact your last chance.

Chris Rock is eternally relevant here. Hell, the first 2 minutes on repeat could be the thread theme.

 
there was one place in LA I watched get looted for no fucking joke : Hour and a half.

at a certain point an hour in I was convinced the joggers had glocks aimed at the shoe-making elves in the stores backroom, because there was no fucking way shit wasn't looted to hell already

people were LOADING UP, long ass orangutan ass joggers with so much loot, and *TIN FOIL HAT THEME PLAYS* chucking them into numerous brand new 2020 cars that kept showing up the entire time to offload the shit later.
