General Politics Discussion VIII [ARCHIVED] • Page 269

you said looting is dumb. i'm saying looting is cool, good, and justified

 

They want you to talk about looting instead of the senseless violence committed by the police, and it works everytime.

 

I'm generally not a fan of the looting of small businesses and pharmacies. Opportunists will sometimes loot pharmacies for certain drugs to flip later. I used to be in the "all looting is bad" camp, but I've come around to see some of it as a more gray area. Looting a small clothes boutique or independent restaurant is certainly not good or cool or whatever.

Taking a TV or food from [insert multinational big box store] is an entirely different discussion.

@incognitojones is right that it becomes the headline and distracts from whatever protestors are protesting 99% of the time.

 

We should totally physically destroy the Supreme Court building if they steal another election. Let them try to meet by zoom or whatever but they need to stop being outside of all accountability.

 

Wasn't there a story that people looting pharmacies and selling the drugs were cops?

 

haha would not surprise me at all. If somebody has a link, I'll check it out.

 

Yeah I don’t give a shit about looting at all, if you dislike looting, do something to fix what is causing it. Like marx&recreation said.

If you aren’t interested in fixing those things, then shut the hell up about it.

To be honest, shut the hell up about it in general because nobody is allowed to tell anyone how they should protest systemic injustice

 

@FBI here's another user to follow lmao

 

uhhh

 

They’re too busy with someone’s emails I’m sure, this is election season

 

I for one think this entire administration and all its enablers should be shot out of a cannon and into a volcano. We could stream it live on TV, the VolCannon, and make enough money for Medicare For All.

The volcano should be extra hot if possible, and they can have cameras strapped to their heads to record it all.

If the FBI thinks this joke is a problem I have some congressional candidates they should be looking into.

 

thank you

 

The most frustrating part of the Minneapolis riots were the things people did burn down. There needed to be more destruction of police stations and pawn shops, not a fucking library and post office. Defending the burning down of those things as serving some grander abstract leftist cause just seems so antithetical to what I believe lol. If you’re gonna destroy something make sure it’s actually worth destroying

 

I personally think we should just keep burning buildings until nothing is left.

 

More riots need to happen near Amazon warehouses.

 

I dunno, man. This doesn't sound quite...painful enough. Maybe "slowly lowered" over a long period of time with pauses to stop and really dwell on the pain

 

Counterpoint: Jake Paul looted.

 

Lol I was about to say, who the fuck is Miles Taylor. Why is there a new name every 2 days that I’m supposed to know.

 

Grifters gonna grift.

 

Did you guys know they still made Epic Rap Battles of History? Did you know they are still awful?
