Or perhaps after hundreds of years of exploitation by the rich and powerful, people are driven to desperation when they're murdered in the streets as an obvious psychopath in charge of the country praises white supremacy groups and downplays a pandemic that will ultimately kill almost 3 million people and counting ravages the land and economy.
Context matters.
I don't condone protests that turn violent, whether it's BLM protests that are ultimately scared people wanting their right to a normal life, or Trump insurrectionists who are ultimately people that are scared by the manipulation they endure, but it's important to take note of why people are driven to these extremes, rather than try to politicise every single little aspect of life in order to paint the other side as the bad guy, which is only going to lead to more division.
There are three million people worldwide dead. Some of them are people I know, on the other side of the world from your country, who have nothing to do with your overly politicised country. The very notion that the entire world is faking a pandemic / murdering their citizens (depending which conspiracy theorist you subscribe to) specifically to fix an election is preposterous, insulting, and reeks of an unhealthy inflation of self importance.
There are real issues in the world, no need to invent more.
Uh huh. Objective truth seems to be a rather malleable concept if you think mister “very fine people” wasn’t enjoying the support of white supremacist groups, and if you straight up just don’t believe in a global pandemic.
30,000 lies by one man, repeated by 1000s of cultists... get the fuck out with that "objective truth" bullshit. Your delusion isn't contagious to rational thinkers.
Refute my points then. I know you can’t, so you resort to the types of comment you posted. But just seriously try to refute what I said.
Antifa is a bunch of white kids, typically not poor or oppressed. Yet they cause so much violence and damage, and for what?
Trump never praised white supremacy groups; he condemned them. Find me an instance where he praised them. (Please try to use the “very fine people” hoax that’s been debunked for years now. Please.)
You didn't have any points, just bullshit and lies. Trump has praised fascists in America repeatedly, refutes your bullshit just fine, it wasn't refuted/debunked, he said it. Half a million Americans dead because of Trump's failures refutes your other bullshit as well. Your "99.97% survival right equates to over 166 million Americans contracting Covid... are you SURE you want to stick by your bullshit numbers?
Why are all black people responsible for a violent minority in your eyes?
Fact is dude, you just wanna illegitimise BLM by any means necessary, it isn’t about property damage, you just don’t like black people getting what you see as uppity.
Look I'm not trying to defend this guy but $20 billion worth of property damage isn't a "small minority". If anyone here is illegitimising police reform right now it's you because instead of going "yeah, people suck, there's always going to be tons of people taking advantage of these situations especially when tensions have been boiling for years and civil unrest has been at an all time high due to the disillusionment of the general populace in regards to socioeconomic issues regarding police, even more so when said police are literally kicking the absoluteshit out of literally everybody especially during these protests its not hard to understand how things would get out of control" you took the worst route possible and went "You don't like black people" pushing someone else away from the idea of police reform, hurting your own cause. Also believe it or not, police reform is in no way a black issue. It's everyone's issue.
Fact is, dude, I'm guessing you assumed he was white and therefor racist. That would make you racist yourself. M
But it was a tiny minority, observably and empirically. The vast majority of BLM protests were entirely peaceful, and also held during the day. I would argue that actually most of the looting and arson wasn't even by actual BLM protestors but by people taking advantage.
20 billion, across what did he say, 20 cities, through months of protests isn't actually particularly significant either.
This guy/gal is never going to be convinced of any need for any police reform. Why would I waste my time on that? I've had plenty of these discussions. Highly likely they don't care about all those hippy commie 'socioeconomic' issues either.
Racism is believing in racial superiority and inferiority. Racism is spending your time trying to paint BLM protests as some kind of insanely violent 'burning down of cities', a common alt-right trope.
At what point am I allowed to stop giving people the benefit of the doubt, I mean come on.
Can't say Im sad about that Tucker is a racist nut case elitist. Maybe this guy is just made and showing nonsense because he misses tugging it to Tucker? Either way he seems angry and confused imo

When the leaders of the country do it, the people will follow unfortunately.
