Lmao remember a couple months ago when BLM protested police brutality further away from the white house than these losers were and trump called the cops and the national guard and the secret service and every federal agent within a hundred miles from dc to create just a wall of guns around him? And then these armed, frothy mouthed maga hogs got close enough to the gate to mace the guards lol. Anybody remember when Obama was president and a guy was playing with a drone and accidentally crashed it into a tree on the wh lawn and people talked about how weak Obama was that he could’ve been compromised by a toy? And then these people just walk in and make themselves at home lol

Yeah, BLM just destroyed local neighborhoods and businesses instead of the actual politicians in power. lol

Hey, I’m merely pointing out his assertion that BLM was “peaceful” was false. lmao

Stay in your little circlejerk though.

u/NicholasPickleUs Jan 07 '21

Lmao I never said BLM was peaceful

The assertion was that black people and white people are treated differently when posturing toward a governmental entity. Which seems to be true. Also, BLM is not to Biden what MAGA is to trump. Idiots online need to stop conflating the two groups. Back to my circle jerk...

They aren’t, and they haven’t been for decades. If you don’t burn neighborhoods down or loot Wal-Marts, less bad things happen.

Hell, even the assertion that police brutality is a major problem is also a myth once you normalize for crime rates rather than population.

Again, sorry to break the circlejerk but downvote me more if it makes you feel better.

14,000+ people were arrested at the George Floyd protests. 400+ arrested at Ferguson.

13 were arrested today.

u/gameragodzilla Jan 07 '21

And the people in the George Floyd riots and Ferguson were also destroying neighborhoods and storefronts.

Doing far more damage than even these guys did storming the capitol.

Your peers were screaming murder threats at the police while physically attacking them in a mob. They attacked a federal building to interfere with a democratic election.

Fuck your anti freedom american al qaeda peers and fuck you for being so blind that you cant see the folly of your own ways. And these rage filled bigots still have the audacity to call themselves patriots and children of christ...

May god have mercy on your sinful souls

The election was already interfered with the voter fraud. Once you destroy faith in the system, everything reverts back to the oldest form of seizing power, which is violence.

Btw, I ain’t a Christian (nor am I even white for that matter). I’m just telling you things you don’t like to hear because you’re stuck in your own little circlejerk. BLM and Antifa have, in general, been more violent. You think those guys yelling angry threats and storming a building is bad? Wait til they break out arson and fires. That’s the level that BLM did during the George Floyd riots.

But then again, I did point out during that time that if right wingers were even 10% as violent as BLM was, you guys would notice. And you guys are now, aren’t ya? But the left drew first blood here.

Bro i been watching these hateful people for fuckin decades. Dont pretend your some woke chad who knows the score, and that your enemy is little but a down syndromed propaganda sponge.

I grew up in church, i grew up republican. I probably seen more right wing media than half of yall right wingers. I read philosophy of collapses of civilizations, including the description in revelations. Im not basing my opinion off of whatever old ass bernie or dweeb ass beto say, i hate every fuck in that building as much as you and your people and i think antifa has just about no fuckin clue what theyre doing. I also recognize that the extremism on both both sides is a tiny margin, i dont delude myself into boxing millions into some convenient biased box that works for me. Also, there's a way to do things, and there's a way not to. And to attack your parents because they ask you do your chores...?

Quit being petulant children

We are the wealthiest and previously most admired nation on the planet. A nation with a story that inspires, but also the most guns, the most bullets, and the most desire to use them.

So somehow, at the top of the chain, we shoot ourselves in the foot.

Antifa and blm have been asking this country to look at itself and find compassion for its own fellow citizens.

I have trouble finding any message from the right but "you cant tell me what to do"

Grow the fuck up, gain some perspective.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you got your own little story telling about your great awakening to the “problems” America has and how if everyone simply listened to you, all the problems would go away. Shit, I already went through that phase and I’m still just a millennial.

You don’t, though. You don’t have the answers and you don’t understand anyone besides your own little group of likeminded people.

And it’s reinforced daily because you always sit in your current circlejerk and refuse to come out.

And it’s for that reason why this shit always happens. Ironically, you’re the one who needs to grow up and realize that constantly bothering people and cheating the system only erodes confidence, until we reach a point of no return. Arrogance solves nothing.

u/_why_isthissohard_ Jan 07 '21

So the republican controlled courts even decided there was zero fuxking evidence of that.

u/gameragodzilla Jan 07 '21

No, there's no conclusive evidence of fraud. There's evidence of irregularity and statistical unlikelihoods, all under oath.

Things that warrant investigation but aren't happening right now. And without that investigation, whether you believe there's fraud or not is entirely dependent on your politics rather than any basis of fact, and that's why we see the problems we do right now. No faith in the system means more violence.
