Not to derail, but decided to create a thread specifically for the riots: https://kiwifarms.st/threads/ice-riots-2025-la-beyond.221541/

I second the motion. This is the US Politics thread, but its been possesed by the Happenings. What is Happening now belongs in Happenings.

This is US Politics though. The riots have consumed all us political discussion on every platform.

Josh said like two hundred pages ago, at least what i read when i woke up, that it stays in here.

Donald Trump - The Fire of Liberty

Thank you TIME Magazine, very cool.

President Trump on the LA Riots: “I want to save Los Angeles. Newsom is totally incompetent. There’s something wrong with these people. I just want to see peace. If there is peace, we get out.”

incapable of higher level thoughts

"Gangsta" or gang types -- of any race -- don't seem to be. Could be why the libraries and bookstores tend to be safe during riots ...

No American flags in the Chicago protest either. Just a whole bunch of Palestine and Mexican flags.

Ironically Mexicans living in Mexico may be embarrassed to see the protestors in USA waving Mexican flags around while wreaking havoc.

I think I know who can clear the highway...

Also funny how they go back to rioting on the highway like 5 years ago for the chimp out for Fent Floyd. They were complaining last time when they got hit by cars but they are too stupid to learn from their mistakes.

Finally a sensible comment.

Wojaks are stylized representations of modern archetypes. The chad, soyjak, wifejak, etc… All exaggerate the connotative qualities of their subject while removing anything which subtracts from their particular subjectivity.

So yes-finally something I’m not exasperated by responding too. Thank you.

My fellow amerimutts-- ffs stay strapped. All of you. Carry wherever there isn't a metal detector.

And look what happened.

Because in 2020 the MSM kept all the worst parts of the champing out under wraps so boomers never had to see it. This is different, even CNN is directly addressing the hypocrisy of all this. Bass AND Gavin have both come out and said the violence is bad, they weren't doing that in 2020 they were basically saying it was a good thing.

They're on the defensive and it's plainly obvious, they know the public is against them.

Appreciate the concern but we're fine. This shit you're seeing is relegated to like 3 cities and only 1% of even those, all cities none of us would dare set foot in rain or shine. I just went for a walk in mine and it may as well be christmas day.

Pepe is the avatar of the extremes. He can represent extreme chaos, extreme order, extreme greed, extreme generosity, extreme hate, and extreme compassion. He is the embodiment of nature in its force.

Wojack is the teeming mass of humanity, caught in an eternal struggle with the various pepe's.

hot take: if you magically snapped your fingers and earasedevery single Jewish person from the world, it would. It turn the world into a paradise, there would still be war and conflict because humans are naturally territorial creatures, this notion of Jews being the only evil in the world is false and I hope dies soon.

It would allow whites to be a lot meaner and control the entire planet like we did for centuries and all the brown subhumans would be better off for it too.

"Hey hey, ho ho, Donald Trump has got to go"

Hmm, if you're going to create a shit chant, at least try and make one that can't very easily be repurposed towards illegals.

If I may speculate, I would suggest "inadequately mindful" is on-brand.

memes
the dna of the soul

Someone did this one right after the assassination attempt. struck me at the time how there were ready meme archetypes to fit for the situation and people to weave them into the imagery to tell the mythic story of the event

I live in a super right-toid safe place too but there are people trying to organize a 'protest' on local social media pages. It's trying to spread.

That’s a chant I haven’t heard in a while. I first heard it all the way back in 2016 after Trump got elected. They really need some new material
