So when its an armed gang of Nazis who’s explicit ideology is an ideology of genocide, waving the flag of black enslavement, armed to the teeth in preparation for war…
They’re just “demonstrators” doing a “protest”?
Yet when BLM, a colossal movement featuring people from countless backgrounds, a 95% peaceful protest rate, fighting for racial equality and justice, and always unarmed, does nation wide peaceful protests against police brutality…
They’re rioters and domestic terrorists burning down cities?
Never forget the mainstream media will never be your friend.
They’re not even “white supremacists!” They’re “demonstrators in white supremacist attire,” because Politico is just that goddamn chickenshit.
Antifa bad profasc good
I’ll chime in.
I would not call it 95% peaceful by a long shot. They started out that way, but so many protests turned riots, breaking and entering to hundreds of thefts and several locations around Chicago being burned (south suburb post office and a Target I think). Downtown had the Nike and Apple stores robbed like crazy, several Mom n pop shops closed for weeks if not longer due to damages.
I can imagine Minneapolis being worse since the George Floyd indecent was there.
You’re right by only 2%.
It was actually 93%

But way to spread more white supremacist propaganda. Way to put a lense on that 7%, of which much if not most of it was instigated by cops or by far-right white supremacist counter protestors.
Do feel free to out your head in the sand to IG ore the FAR GREATER NUMBER OF POLICE AND FEDS ATTACKING PEACEFUL PROTESTORS
Here’s an example from JUST ONE MONTH

Still a drop in the bucket compared to wage theft. Definitely don’t bring up the comparison with physical violence.
Wage theft happens to ALL races, all genders, all levels! It’s NOT a race thing, it’s a “wrong people with power” thing. It’s class warfare, they (wealthy) control the media (propaganda) telling you it’s race so they can distract you from the truth. Obviously if everyone saw a few rich people controlling everything, we would easily rise up and overthrow them. Boom, fixed.
Wage theft has been a slow process on purpose so that it’s less perceivable. A slight inconvenience over time means people try to accommodate or sacrifice little by little. Over time, forgetting how much has changed.
Hence why the saying “eat the rich” is popular in Reddit and Lemmy… (Most) Everyone is sick of this shit!!!
But… Getting back to your justification of crime and violence. Fuck that shit! That allows the wealthy to villainize minorities and make everyone “not white” seen like the enemy! It fuels their message and the worst thing you can do is play into their hands!
Plus, It only hurt the little business owners who struggle enough already as it is, often shops owned by other races/ethnicities… So no, there’s no justifying theft and violence to try and “take back what you’re owed”. Best we can do is team up, protest, go on strikes all over to start to punish the wealthy by not partaking in their game, reducing consumerism, being more self-sufficient, etc. We also need to elect the appropriate people. Non-lifetime politicians. Those who commit to no bribes, have ethics and standards, etc.
Unitewhiteme. That’s not all you can do, and I said nothing about race. I’d like to see how you eat the rich without violence. Wait til they die?
Touché. Maybe no violence against your fellow person. The rich are on their own level, they’re free game!
They control everything right now what are they even protesting? What, we’re not doing the evil stuff fast enough for you guys?
Yeah, I saw the other day they were flying upside down flags…
Which means America is in distress, and like sure, that’s true
But it’s fucking in distress because of these jackasses
Anyways, trump has the same problem as Bibi does:
Extremists got him into power, but it pisses off the majority and nothing will ever make the extremists happy. No matter how much he tries to make them happy, it’ll never be enough
It’s literally why every fascist movement fails, as soon as they get power, they all realize every subgroup has a different line, and none of them want to compromise.
Protest? What exactly are they protesting? The fact that people with skin tones and sexual preferences that don’t match their own exist?
Lol, what are they demonstrating against?
They say peer pressure is responsible for a lot of this.
I personally think if I was surrounded by hatred and ignorance, I would just… choose a different tribe.
