U.S. Riots of May 2020 over George Floyd and others - ITT: a bunch of faggots butthurt about worthless internet stickers

[Hippopatumus]

Still waiting for the hood wearing, cross burning KKK to show up to commit the genocide these people keep saying they want to do

They wear black now.

Dying from the china virus would be too good for this worthless cunt. But because she's black her life matters more than her victim.

California is just using this crisis as a way to try to get out of their horrible finances courtesy of the rest of the country. The main reason these governments are emptying the prisons is to save money (money is more important public safety to a bunch of corrupt grifters) mixed with a complete ignorance these people pose as the decision makers have private security or live in a gated community. Each prisoner costs 65k a year according to google so that’s 1.1 billion dollars savings (17.8k * 65k).

Is no one going to point out that they used the term wrongthink?

Dude, that's obvious satire.

"Shithole regions"
"gender and snake oil sciences"
"wrongthink"
approvingly quoting the party line from Orwell's 1984 on the topic of speech and language

One can never be too sure we live in an age where Satire and parity are reality.

This has to be fake. It's literally quoting Syme from 1984.

“It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words. Of course the great wastage is in the verbs and adjectives, but there are hundreds of nouns that can be got rid of as well. It isn't only the synonyms; there are also the antonyms. After all, what justification is there for a word which is simply the opposite of some other words? A word contains its opposite in itself. Take 'good,' for instance. If you have a word like 'good,' what need is there for a word like 'bad'? 'Ungood' will do just as well--better, because it's an exact opposite, which the other is not. Or again, if you want a stronger version of 'good,' what sense is there in having a whole string of vague useless words like 'excellent' and 'splendid' and all the rest of them? 'Plusgood' covers the meaning, or 'doubleplusgood' if you want something stronger still...In the end the whole notion of goodness and badness will be covered by only six words--in reality, only one word. Don't you see the beauty of that, Winston?”


By the way, Syme disappeared in Book 2, Chapter 5 and was unpersoned.

You're really exposing some people here...

Wonder if they'll fix this one though: https://theskylive.com/sky/deepsky/ngc1488-object

Well shit, I didn't mean to fool anyone. The press release they put out was so stupid and aggravating that I had to mock it, and when I changed the Horsehead Nebula to the Jennifer Aniston Nebula I just kept going to try and lighten the mood in here.

Sorry for the confusion.

Eh, the math behind the Alcubierre metric is sound, it just has the teeny tiny problem of hinging on the existence of exotic matter with negative mass. Just because something is a valid solution to something doesn't mean it's a physically possible one. Tachyons are also valid solutions, but whatever the fuck would imaginary mass be?
If negative mass or energy density could somehow be synthesized, it'd be an interesting thing because we'd have to re-evaluate causality to some degree. The Alcubierre metric tries to get away with it by preserving causality locally, but it could still cause some paradoxa.
I'm not holding my breath on discovering negative mass, though. The only even semi-plausible lead on that that I heard of is the hypothetical Woodward effect, which apparently has a term that would allow the creation of negative energy density under certain circumstances. But the Woodward effect itself isn't exactly proven or even accepted science to begin with.

The math is sound (despite being a fancier version of the "perfectly spherical cow") but on a fundamental level any form of FTL travel or communication (that isn't the natural expansion of spacetime itself) violates causality because FTL travel is time travel. We absolutely cannot by any means ever travel or communicate faster than light.

What's wrong with them being Latino instead of White?

They've not made any decent civilizations and are unlikely to be good custodians of ours.

 

[deeplyhigh]

Let’s look back to the early riot days...another clip from the vault:

A jogger yells at Minneapolis police and threatens to shoot them, “Let me get a fucking gun in this bitch, I’ll blast a niggah too, shit.” So peaceful, these joggers!

Twitter is now censoring Bitchute links too, FYI.

 

[tampax pearl]

Agreed.

Let's focus on the business at hand and not let the /pol/ tard doomers or unfunny Chinese shills try to distract us from the issue at hand.

Here's the thing, I think the BLM riots have lost most of their steam outside a few key areas and those areas tend to have a strong Antifa presence. Given the federal arrests of Antifa that have been made and the "nuclear option" that Barr set up at the start of all this, I think something big is going to happen.

I think they got a lot of the organizers, at least. The numbers don't look to be anywhere near what they were 2 months ago. Part of that is arrests, but I think another part is that they're sick now. Masks don't do anything when you're all bunched up like sardines!

I'm curious if the boxes were set out to accelerate the protests- like a pimple popping procedure or something. Get them all riled up and then take them out at once. I dunno how likely it is, tho.

I wish this was an exaggeration. They had a good opportunity with that Brianna Taylor situation, almost everybody agrees that no-knock raids are overused and in need of reform. They wasted that by screeching for the cops all the be charged with 1st degree murder.

The Breonna Taylor case actually did spark reform, though. The city where it happened, Louisville KY, banned no-knock warrants, and KY is working on a state-wide ban. Two states already banned them--Oregon and Florida--and others are working on bans or having judges put them on temporary hold. Some cities in those states added additional bans to close loopholes that allowed no-knock raids in some cases. Rand Paul proposed a national ban, but that seems to be forgotten at the moment.

And this really highlights the rabid blindness of the continuing protesters. They're upset they aren't being listened to and their demands aren't being met. But they are being listened to... the public just doesn't agree with them.

Everyone already agreed that no-knock raids are dangerous and bad. The lolbertarians were shouting about it for decades, and the right generally agreed, long before BLM ever slouched out of the woodwork to complain. So you throw a protest to demand political actions, the politicians recognize this is something people actually want, and they prioritize it. Hooray! Democracy works!

But BLM's other demands are for stupid stuff like abolishing police, defunding them to hire more social workers, and demanding reparations. There is no widespread support for that, not even by blacks, so it hasn't happened (outside of some budget-slashing in stupidly run Democratic mega-cities).

And so the protesters get pissy and screech "we're going to keep marching until you listen!" No, bitch, we listened, and you're dumb. You aren't marching for change, you're marching for attention and asspats. You don't want to admit the world thinks you're dumb.

The final great irony is that these riots show the conservative version of reform works: slow, incremental changes through the legislative process, with the approval of society. The progressive version doesn't work--radical abolition like CHAZ results in chaos and murder; leftist critical theory applied to power structures results in slashing NYPD's budget and getting triple the shootings, etc.

In that context, you could view the protester's fury as an expression of angst at being constantly proven wrong. The key to keeping them going is the delusion that they aren't wrong; the crucial task is to disbelieve reality. And their ideology neatly equips them to do exactly that.

Latinos are more sincere about their (((traditionalism))) than you, you fucking Anglo edgelord.

Also, Latinos are more likely to end up in the same category as the "European Ethnics" (Italians, Irish, Poles, Greeks, etc.) than any other demographic thanks to that strong Catholic heritage. If the border problem is resolved, expect more Latinos eventually leaving the cities and becoming more like the old Tejanos (a highly conservative rural Latino group that has been in Texas since the colonial era)

Because no matter how based, Catholic, anti-troon/degeneracy/abortion, socially-conservative, etc they may be, none of those things is directly voted on. They pull the (D) lever for a politician who at best sees huwites as a bottomless piggy bank for the gibs every face-tatted MS-13ican is owed, and who at worst actively hates us.

Either way it results in policies designed to bring infinity Guatemalans and El Salvadoreans here faster than assimilation can ever occur. Which is why "if the border problem is resolved" hasn't happened.

They've not made any decent civilizations and are unlikely to be good custodians of ours.

I'm willing to entertain "muh based Cubans, Ricans, and conservative opportunity-appreciating Mexican small business owners", but that still requires some mechanism that breaks the voting for anti-white (D)s tribalism habit.

I honestly don't put much stock in "muh demographics is destiny" but I despise the traditionalist right almost as much as I despise the Woke Left.

SJW's, AnComs, AnCaps, (((Traditionalists))), Neocons, Neolibs, Fascists,....they're all scumbags, dickheads, and morons.

I'm pretty much a "1990's/2000's liberal" and I'm fine with that.

 

[tampax pearl]

Guys, please? This is a thread for the riots. Not discussion about what's based or not. It keeps coming up, so maybe make a separate thread?

Has anyone told you that you can't be that?

 

[Syaoran Li]

Has anyone told you that you can't be that?

And why can't I?

This is a free country (for now) and neither you nor anyone else can force me to believe in any ideology of any kind.

Let's move this discussion to Deep Thoughts

Huh? I wasn't trying to tell you that you can't/shouldn't, I was asking you a question. I was asking you if anyone had told you that you couldn't.

Nobody told me I couldn't. But I do have the right to call other ideologies idiotic (and you have the right to do the same to mine) and either way, I'll start a Deep Thoughts thread to continue this discussion

 

[JohnnyG]

Has anyone told you that you can't be that?

He can, in the same way the white hipster #ally can calmly explain to DuhShiticus and MuhBonica that he voted for Obama as they curb stomp him for his iPhone.

Or the same way a lolbertarian can calmly explain to the Somali majority in his town that actually, good sir, it is not long-term economically efficient to tax whitey at 80% to fund detention centers for hateful whites who hatefully complain about their children being gang-"groomed".

I recently described this site to a progressive friend of mine using that exact label. I said "it's mostly late 90's/early 2000's liberals, plus some WN who keep ranting about Jews". I made the distinction as being non-woke, and one of the examples I used was "they support gay marriage but think there's only 2 genders".

He told me such people aren't liberals any more, that "liberalism has moved past that" and they can't be classified as "the left". You aren't officially alt-right neo-Nazis (yet), but you don't get to be liberals if you're the same liberal from 20 years ago.

That's only 1 anecdote, but it's the same sentiment I've seen on social media as well, which has a decidedly progressive bent. I've sperged about the difference between progressive vs liberal elsewhere, and it's off topic here, so I won't repeat it. But that split, and the resulting war, is being manifested in the Democratic primaries and in the liberal city strongholds right now.

If you're wondering why Antifa has been spray-painting "liberals get the bullet too" since 2017, that's why. You aren't liberals any more. The left's fellow-travelers are kicking you off the bus, in preparation to throw you under it. Portland rioters vs Ted Wheeler is a perfect example.

I've seen it as well, and I think a lot of the "Y2K liberals" are slowly waking up to this and the riots and social media insanity has more than likely dropped a few "red pills" on them. They aren't the kind of people who'd openly speak about it, but they are the kind of people who'd be likely to vote for Trump (and lie about it) for the sake of sanity and security.

If the Seventh Party System does take root in the 2020's, I can expect Y2K Liberals to drift more towards the Republican Party, especially as the neocons and aging remnants of the Religious Right continue to die out or become irrelevant (and the insanity of the Bush years continues to fade from public memory) and a second term of Trump is the kind of thing that makes both the RNC and DNC realize 2016 was not a fluke and their platforms will adjust accordingly.

Especially if he wins 2020 in spite of all this insanity going on right now.

>White nationalists
>Uses SPLC data

Yeah okay buddy.

That's the thing. Their facts are not your facts & vice versa. To them SPLC data is perfectly true, and your sources are just conspiracist propaganda mills or misinterpretations of already biased data.

 

[Garm]

When did the world get so full of snowflakes? Ive been trying 2 think whether it was a slow progressive thing or if it just happened over night but I literally cant think of a time when things have been worse. When people cant say things or do things because it'll offend someone somewhere!
When did 'getting offended on someone elses behalf' become a thing? You're not offended yourself and the other person isnt bother either, but you're offended on their behalf...the world is literally batshit crazy atm!

1. We are victims of our own success.
1a. Since we are living longer that means people are working longer. This causes bureaucratic inertia since the top positions fill up which leaves only low level, unfulfilling jobs.
1b. Specialization has left people unable to communicate with each other. We feel increasingly alienated from each other because we can't describe our problems.

2. Generational Cultural shift. The Greatest Generation (and the generation before that) moved out to the suburbs and was seduced by the materialism. Baby Boomers aped the virtues of their parents. "Frugality" became "cheapness." "Loyalty" became "everyone for themselves." "Legacy" became "take everything not nailed down."

Gen X'ers rebelled against the boomers, losing what little philosophy survived the boomers.

Millennials now have no philosophies or traditions.

3. Millennials are authoritarian little shits. Every liberal my age has an authoritarian streak to them. Not sure why. Might be because their parents were fuck ups as well.
