lmfao what riot? There's barely 15 people
How do you think a riot starts? I mean, I know it's Salt Lake, but being white and safe under normal conditions has not prevented Pacific Northwest and Midwest cities from rioting. Anyone at any of the protests in major cities at this point should be expecting that a riot very well may ensue (and/or, in places like NYC, that police will come down hard). Either way, not a place to be unless you are physically prepared to be in that kind of situation.
 
Shit like this is slowly making me misanthropic and I absolutely hate it. I don't wanna be a cynical asshole, but this stuff just makes me tired. I'm sick of the division. Sick of incompetent authorities. Sick of the media amping this shit up and gaslighting people and turning even family against each other. Sick of people cheering on rioting and assault and bending over backwards to defend the undefendable.

I wanna keep being the ray of sunshine girl who always sees the good in people and the bright side of things but these last few months seem determined to crush that. I've been trying my hardest to avoid slipping into apathy, and it's been working for the most part, but these last few days have just hammered down on me.

Sorry for the doomposting. I'm just so goddamn tired of current year.

I know how you feel.

Something I've thought about doing for years and get closer and closer by the day to doing is mentally "checking out" from the present day and only consuming old movies, games, books, anime etc and literally pretending it's the past and tuning everything else out as much as I can.


I wonder if that's true or if I just consumed the media uncritically then. Frankly I'm leaning toward the latter

Things simply weren't like modern "woke" culture in the 1990s, even liberal people would be appalled by the modern mentality back then.

Can't have all 5 black people living in Utah start getting ideas.

What the hell is she talk about anymore...... :story: :story: :story: :story:

 
I have this sinking feeling we're going to hear that the family becomes broke again in 2 years much like other lotto winners. :(

It's ok man, sometimes you need to let it out, and this is a place that won't kill you for it. Don't be afraid to take some time off or to just haunt the lolcow on topic boards if the riots aren't in your face. This is a terrible situation thats easy to get overwhelmed by.
Now is a good time to play video games or read your favorite book again, or turn in early for some shut eye. We survived the 60s and 70s, we can do it again.
 
Just laugh at it all and repeat after me: "We should have gone toe to toe with the USSR in 1989 instead."

This is out there, but sometimes I really do wonder if mankind was fated to perish in a nuclear war in the 1980s and something was done, maybe even time travel, to prevent it, but we've been going insane ever since because we are past our "expiration date"
 
If this was Beijing and not Minneapolis, the riots would be over before they got started, and every single rioter would be either riddled with real bullets or run over by tanks if not arrested. That's the thing about riots; they only work against an at least partially moral government.
I would argue it only would work if there is a generally speaking the government or leaders in charge, the ethnic group they come from have a high ingroup bias. The Chinese Han have a high in group biases, they will not give two fucks if they killed a wild pack of niggers and then go soundly to sleep as they would think that we kept our children safe. Or in other word, better their kids over mine get fucked. Generally speaking homogeneous countries also deal with riots faster if there is a clear cultural difference like what Saddam did with the kurds.

The country where my family came from, the leaders over the years were assholes that came from different ethnic groups but would not hesitate the military to start cracking skulls if shit got out of line in the first hour.

The leaders of this nation especially the democratic party care more about their voting base pets than keeping society stable. They gonna sacrifice the future of their children for this shit but then again they usually don't have kids or the kids grow up to be unproductive citizens.
