Emmm.. The world had a very very ugly picture of the US. I'm saying this as son of an American mother, father to an American daughter and plenty of family there. But I don't live there, lived traveled and worked in 40 countries mind. So being seen to do something about it was a positive thing to the world (generally). Where did you grow up? In the asylum or outside? Just as you used 'bollocks'
I traveled to a few more countries as you have and most likely lived in more countries than you have. That as a response to you launching a let's compare our dicks campaign. Looting and rioting was not positive no matter how you spin the story. It showed a nation completely out of control and the damage and violence committed contradicted every single American value that Biden just talked about. Get real. I am conservative on certain issues, progressive on others, and liberal on again others. We probably agree on more issues than we disagree on. But your stance on those riots and looting is outright pathetic as it flies into the face of everything your dear leader just spoke about.
OK, shifting to personal issues. I think you are better than that. How about we stay on topic, violent riots and looting. (I typed on the phone, it's called typo)
Well no, just you failed to notice where I said I am not American, that is characteristic of a certain kind of mind. Which dear leader is mine? Regarding the riots, riots happen when injustices seem to have gone too far and there is a mood to push back. Also masks help people feel braver (V for vendetta and all). I have observed quite a lot of civil disturbance, I have been in the thick of three effective wars as a civilian, not the adorable little pretend fights in the US. But we may largely agree, I just like to know what I'm talking to culturally, makes it easier to illustrate.
Let's not, because I am allergic against grouping and bucketing. It's completely irrelevant whether there are worse situations elsewhere on the globe. You are again shifting topics to relativize the crimes and violence that has been committed by Antifa and many opportunists who broke and entered and stole. And unless we can't use recorded video evidence anymore, my impression from all the footage I have seen so far was that there were not a whole lot of white faces in the crowd of looters, regardless of location, store, city. So unless we nowadays excuse poor people for committing crimes that is perhaps what you should "culturally" focus more on. I have obviously not seen all footage out there but have seen sufficiently much to obtain a sizable sample population, statistically speaking.
You came in a counter to my point that on the whole, a bit of revolution against American fascism which has been building in the US a long while now looks better than doing nothing about it. I'm saying there was no reputation to lose in the eyes of the world, everyone was already pretty cynical about America's national narcissism etc. Only direction is up once Trump got elected using some blast from the past populist tricks.
This has nothing to do with Trump. It has to do with criminals who have no regard for the law and the topic is looters and rioters on the Antifa side and opportunists when went along with the ride. I take the same stance on violent and law disobeying individuals on the right side but they are not the topic of this exchange. You continue to evade and shift topics. So you basically completely disagree with everything that Biden said today. Regard for the law is irrelevant according to you?
Such an underrated show. That's deep in the bowels of the BBC archives. I used to watch that after Headbanger's Ball on MTV back in the day, early Sunday mornings at like 1AM. I recall they kept fighting with a rat that taunted them or something, lol!
