But you're OK with the country that prides itself on democracy and lets its citizens torch other citizens' businesses, beat people in the street, perform mass looting, etc. You're fine with that.
This video was nothing like the Floyd video. The Floyd video showed a many minutes of an officer systematically choking the life out of someone. Open shut case. This one begins with an older gentlemen in the face of the police. You don't know what happened, I don't know what happened. You don't know what he was doing and I don't either. You don't know what he was told to do, and neither do I. All you see is a nice propaganda clip meant for outrage. And you deliver outrage right on cue. It could very well have happened as you say. It might not have. Even if it did, how many hundreds of thousands of encounters have happened in the last week alone that were perfectly fine? But no, take out the whole police force, riot, burn the country down. So fucking stupid and hyperbolic.
Amazing how you never want to see a victim here at all when a man is shoved to teh ground and his head bleeding.... yeah other people looted and vandalized..but not this guy and no one in this scene. Have some compassion for what is happening right here. Looters should be burned alive. This old man did not deserve this.
It isn't that I don't want to see a victim. It is that I want to know the facts before I pass judgment. You should, too. Some day someone might judge you without all the facts and you can see how fun it is. Instead of leaping to a conclusion before everything is out there, knowing that there are bad actors on both sides right now and bad actors trying to propagandize the narrative, you'd prefer to leap before you look. Brilliant, man. Does a lot to calm the situation down. Keep being the puppet they want.
Some suburbs have been attacked though I have not seen any video. Any day now a homeowner is going to emerge from his home during an attack and clean the street. Democrats seem to have decided that the cost of anarchy is worth it if it gets rid of the President. But you don't get anarchy you get civil war. This isn't the 19th century though, we have airplanes, moving vans and shipping crates and can flee if things go full-stupid. I already served my country... twice. Somebody else is going to have to fight this one.
They old men are calling it line they see it on Fox and Breitbart but that is propoganda. The anarchists A is not an Anti Fascist symbol but they think it is, they are deep dived into edited clips and unbalanced coverage of protestor being aggressive. As a documentary called the brainwashing of my dad showed, if you can get them away from conservative sources, they return to the normal people they were before the 80s, just doing that is a bigger task than campaign finance reform.
This post though... Why would I want to participate in representative democracy with people who think I am ill and must be cut off from information? I'd just assume shoot them in the face. See where this goes? But I guess you don't care hiding out on your estates in Colombia. Its probably just entertainment for you. Its why I'm not a ragged ex-pat and more like a tourist. I still love this big messy disaster we call America.
Bla bla You hide, I have lived and worked and visited 43 countries not counting just airports. Basically I have a decent sense of the baseline of normal for well adjusted humans. Everyone can be brainwashed in some manner through political messages, threats, advertising, just culture changing oddly however it is less effective on a moving target. In the USA the right wing under the guidance of a small number, Roger Ailes being a main one decided, fuck it, instead of changing our message to what people want, work out what we want for people and make them like this. And that is exactly what happened. A real conspiracy against society, not one of the endless imaginary ones. So you watch your Fox and read your Breitshite old man and think that's your choice. You are just one of the fish that fits that kind of trap.
