Conservatives automatically assume

If Black people riot, it’s “BLM”
If white people riot, it’s “antifa”

The goal is to demean these groups via guilt by association. It doesn’t matter if the “rioters” are in fact local gangs having no connection to BLM or white gangs like the Proud Boys not connected to antifa, and in some places, even fighting with antifa.

I think there are dickheads at both ranges of the spectrum, but the there’s only one group that brought a country struggling with a pandemic to a halt by burning people’s property.

@SirenCalledLuce How much property was burned exactly? 🤔

Lmao to a halt!

How much property was burned exactly?

How much is required before you care about anarchy?

LeopoldBloom · M

@Budwick I don't know what you're so upset about. More people die from the flu than from rioting.

Look up non-sequitur.

@Budwick It would have to be quite a lot for me to start considering it as something that's bringing the country to a halt. This is a pretty big country.

The entire town of Kenosha was burned, not to mention they found a charred body in the back of a business that was set on fire by them in a different city.. so plus one murdered person. If we want to add in the teens in a jeep who were shot 300 plus times by Chaz security. And in MN, the mayor was denied over 500 million in damages caused by rioters.

@SatanBurger Minneapolis, 2 buildings burned, iirc. Kenosha is some of the most concentrated bit of unrest we've seen so far, and the total is like, four buildings. And this is after three months of protests and social unrest?

Have a sense of proportion, this is totally small time shit - the country is most definitely not ground to a halt.

Oh, that's right.
You lean left - individuals and their rights don't really register with you.
Another reason to vote for Trump.

@Budwick It's like you don't understand the conversation at all bud. This is a big country, and this is small time shit. In no way whatsoever is any of this grinding the country to a halt. We could have fifty times this unrest - and the country still wouldn't be ground to a halt.

I understand that law and order is important - even before the country is about to collapse. Your position is untenable.

QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M

@Budwick My position that the country is not ground to a halt because of localized minor social unrest? It's extremely tenable. It's the reality.

Yes, law and order is important. That's not actually the conversation we're having here.

Budwick · 70-79, M

@QuixoticSoul Grinding the country to a halt is too late.

You miss this or something? Past tense.

redredred · M

@QuixoticSoul Im going to give you two barrels. One is full of shit with a cup of fine brandy in it. The other is full of fine brandy with a cup of shit in it.

How much shit poses a problem for you?

QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M

@redredred What a retarded attempt at doing whatever the fuck you're trying to do.

redredred · M

@QuixoticSoul Im not the least bit surprised allegorical thinking is beyond you.

Budwick · 70-79, M

@QuixoticSoul I'm retarded?

You say the anarchy doesn't really matter cuz the country isn't grinding to a halt.

I say, even small anarchy needs to be stopped.

Now, you claim to be confused - and say that I'm retarded.

QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M

@Budwick

You say the anarchy doesn't really matter

Where?

the country isn't grinding to a halt.

It is not. I'm glad we've all finally agreed on this matter.

I say, even small anarchy needs to be stopped.

Good for you. Just off topic.

Now, you claim to be confused - and say that I'm retarded.

Where?

@redredred
Allegories are fine - you're just way in the left field being a retard.

Not when we're talking about magnitude of anarchy that you find relevant.

Now, you claim to be confused - and say that I'm retarded.

whatever the fuck you're trying to do.

That there is me qualifying that it would take quite a bit for me to consider that our country has been brought to its knees. I am trying to point out the outrageous hyperbole involved in those kinds of statements.

You're extrapolating pretty heavily to get to "anarchy doesn't really matter".

@Budwick

whatever the fuck you're trying to do.

That wasn't tagged for you. Do you have a certain libertarian blocked?

DukeOfEarle · M

He’s just another spin doctor doing his damndest to marginalize the Communist Left. Every post he makes is just another attempt to say, “Burning, looting, murdering is totally fine.” A frequent word he uses is “retarded” and it defines him very well. But all of that mocking and scoffing doesn’t hide the truth of the burning, looting and murdering being conducted that has the full blessing of the Demonrat party. @redredred

QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M

@DukeOfEarle What a remarkably dumb take.

Has the burning of private property in the course of these protests brought the country to a halt? This is a binary yes or no question.

Budwick · 70-79, M

@QuixoticSoul Bringing the country to a halt by your own admission would have to be significant.

You clearly implied that to be the point of your concern.
If it's actually somewhere else - you still have failed to explain it.

That wasn't tagged for you.

Communication is obviously not your strong suit.
For me to respond to you and expect someone else to know that I really meant it for them is kind of,.....
Do I dare say it?

Retarded.

DukeOfEarle · M

Yes, you said it all. What a remarkably dumb take. It is the definition of everything you have to say, @QuixoticSoul
