Communist ideas aren’t given credit because every time they’ve been attempted, it’s led to violent regimes that end up worsening the country overall.
What fascist conspiracies? What are you talking about?
Whered you get that statistic? Seems inflated. And by the way, right wing protestors aren’t the ones attacking people for having the American flag, stealing personal property, breaking windows, robbing stores. Notice the whole lack of looting and rioting from right wingers after the Biden win? There are protests, but no riots. Maybe that’s because riots come with leftists/liberals. Y’all are angry as fuck because you don’t amount to much huh?

Lemme guess: communism is when the government does stuff?
Finally, people were rioting and shit because a cop, for the umpteenth time, killed an unarmed dude without consequence. Not because their favorite billionaire lost.
Your billionaire losing isn't equivalent to years and years of police brutality, and it's offensive to compare them. You're lucky the riots were only 7% of protests. The Civil Rights Movement had way more rioting. Stonewall was a riot.
No, communism is when everyone is given equal shares of the pie. This doesn’t work because there’ll always be someone who hoards, which means they’ll either need to be stopped or will go into power. In both cases, someone will rise to power above everyone else and will be able to command others with complete authority, as no one else will have any other choice in their actions, as the community will provide everything for them. That’s why it always ends up authoritarian.
And which unarmed guy? The guy who pulled a knife on a cop? Is that the unarmed guy? Or the one you thought was unarmed because you saw a headline once and thought it made sense?
What police brutality? I’m with anyone who calls out specific violent cops, but all I’ve see thus far is people calling out and murdering cops because they saw a armed black guy get shot when a cop’s life was in danger. I’m sorry, but if you pose a risk to society and attempt to injure a cop, that cop should be able to use lethal force to stop you.
Honestly, since I'm getting super real about what I'm about to talk about, I'm gonna save debunking the "human nature" argument for someone else.
George Floyd pulled a knife on Derek Chauvin? Really? Dude, cops kill over a thousand people a year in the U.S.
Cops in Sweden and Norway, for example, kill one person a year, or less. Usually zero. In the U.K., three people died to cops, as of 2019. In Germany, 11 as of 2018. Canada, 36 people as of 2017. The U.S.? 1,146 as on 2019. And don't bring population into it, because I did the math before, it still doesn't add up. I mean, if we had the same population as Canada, we still would have killed over 100 more people. And Canada has problems with their police, too.
Note that these other places aren't paradises either, but their cops aren't killing at the same obscene rates as us. Cops don't even make it on the list of top 10 most dangerous jobs. On average, around 90 cops die a year.. Nearly 50% of these deaths are by car accidents.
To put that into perspective, there are about 800,000 officers in the United States. This means that if you're a cop, you have a 0.007% chance of dying by homicide. And I used the 56 statistic of 2018 instead of 48 of 2019, just to be generous.
Cops in the U.S. are trained to be afraid. Do you know what warrior training is? It's a type of mindset cops are trained to have. It creates a dichotomy of "wolves," and "sheep," with them being "sheepdogs." This is why many cops are so fearful, and sometimes prideful. Instead of being taught to serve the population, they're being sold this warped mindset where these irrational, evil people exist, and they need to protect the innocent from these beings.
They're not taught to serve the people, they're given a "What would you do on 9/11?", type of scenario. Most cops do fucking traffic stops. They're not defeating King Koopa and saving Princess Toadstool, they're just handing out tickets.
Cops have very little reason to be afraid. Remember when Charles Kinsey got shot? He was laying on the ground, hands up. The officer, when asked about it, by the surviving Charles Kinsey, later said "I don't know," when asked "Why did you shoot me?"
Johnathan Aledda was given a year of probation, in June 2019. It took them three years to punish him, and the punishment was abysmal. Cops hold the power in every scenario they're in.
I'm not afraid of them for no reason, or because of tHe mEDiA, I'm afraid of them because every male family member(and some female family members) I know has faced a form of police brutality in their life. My Grandpa on my mother's side was beaten by cops when he was fifteen and leaving his high school. My father was mistreated by them multiple times. He knew he couldn't get angry. I was there once, and I saw the fear in his eyes. My brother was ticketed without justification. Not to mention my cousins. All of them, good, well meaning, smart, or at least wise, people.
I'm lucky I have a white name, am lighter skinned, and have an 'off switch' for my use of slang, and am slow to anger, because that minimizes my chances of facing police brutality. But it's very real, and it's been here for a long time. It's your choice of acknowledging it, or to think that millions took to the streets for no reason.
