U.S. Riots of May 2020 over George Floyd and others - ITT: a bunch of faggots butthurt about worthless internet stickers

[Syntaxion]

That "Why is ending RACISM so controversial?" sign gets me. Just the combination of oversimplyfying, having no idea what anyone's problem actually is, and summing it up as something the vast majority of people wouldn't disagree with.

Is there a term for that logical fallacy? (I mean aside from "stupid".) It's somewhere between a loaded question and gaslighting. I see it an awful lot.

You mean the motte-and-bailey? You start with something simple, i.e. racism is bad
Then you move to something more extreme, we have to limit rights to stop racism
And when people attack that particular part you fall back, "don't you agree that racism is bad?"

I'm at a point where if the Death Star showed up, pointed its planet buster laser at Earth, and I possessed the only way to stop it, I would throw that solution in the trash, pull up a chair, and go "Go ahead. We've earned it".

Oh they'll try it. If you can get a bunch of retards to try to storm Area 51, you can get them to try to storm the White House. I've got no love for Trump, but damn it -- the White House belongs to the people. And I think even some of the most woke people are going to be shocked if they damage iconic monuments or the White House.

But if they allow something like this to happen, it won't be a one off. The next Dem president just might be cowering in a bunker while there are armed protesters surrounding the White House. Plus, it's just stupid to allow destruction that will demoralize citizens and make the US government look weak in the eyes of the world.

What if Al Qaeda 2.0 is watching and thinks that this may be an opportunity of a lifetime. Just blend in with the protesters and you can get close enough to deal a pretty big blow to the US. Or even if it is just Boston bomber pressure cooker in a backpack level of terrorism -- nobody is checking backpacks and making sure there aren't any bad actors in the crowd. It's not just angry protesters you've got to worry about. There could be real threats mixed in with the crowd.

They didn't really try to storm Area 51 though. Just partied for a weekend.

Time to call in the Delta Force.

Seriously though, this shit is turning out as I expected. George Floyd was simply used as an excuse to try and orchestrate a fucking Rebellion. And the White House might not be able to fight back against so many or even shoot without causing an even bigger incident that will force Trump to step down which is exactly what these assholes want, otherwise they are willing to kill or sacrifice their useful idiots to get what they want.

Ahh ya need Charlie Bronson in there too to make it the ultimate Delta Force. Fuck Robert Forster. No offence to him but he only had two great flicks Alligator and Jackie Brown. All the rest are meh or carbon copies of eventual great movies. Cremate em already and throw the ashes down the toilet. Least Charlie had many classics he should have been in there even if killed in the movie. Just sayin

Also a bunch of British lads (and a lass) promptly took to cleaning the graffiti off of a statue and were harassed by a loud female protestor as they did. Sadly, they left soon after cleaning as they were apparently threatened with violence.

Everyone's got their breaking point haven't they? Welp, guess this is mine because it's really fucked me off.

 

[Crystal Golem]

Fuck things like roadway markers and other safety features I guess. Solid yellow block roads for everyone!

WELCOME TO AFREEKA MY BRUDDA!

At least Andrew Allanson showed his true colors early on.

Again, I'd like to point out how ridiculously "generous" people have become to suddenly support "anti-racist" causes when we're in still supposed to be in the middle of a pandemic/global recession where so many people are hurting. Hek, I dare say some of these people won't have any money to donate to uncle Joe unless of course BLM just funnels all the money they recently received back to him. Speaking of which, he might as well announce his VP will be Michelle Obama honestly.

I'm putting my money that after the 2020 election where going to see a lot of "I gave away my rent money to help change this country" post akin to the starving bernie bros.

I was thinking today, so after WW2 the US fights the Cold War, sends people to die in Korea and Vietnam, but 20-30 years after the Cold War ends you turn it into the biggest gay-furry-commie country in the world, followed closely by Europe, and now every white person in the world has to chop their dicks, join antifa and pay reparations. Where do I volunteer to fly to the Moon space station?

I fail to see how the chaos would be of benefit to his re-election; in fact, the opposite seems true to me. Trump has looked weak in this, though admittedly it was a “damned if you do and damned if you don’t” type of situation. If anything those who view his re-election as the gravest threat to America would likely want the chaos to continue for as long as possible, and for the economy to continue floundering in the run up to November.

An economic crash is what the left has been hoping for since 2016 and they've tried to get it every way possible except race baiting. This was literally all they had left.

Massive protest in DC tomorrow, and the mayor is removing the curfew and having the National Guard leave.

Can the mayor do that? DC isn't a state.

no lmao
the political and societal damage this is doing is more than anything these organisations could ever hope to achieve by conventional means

Al Qaeda isn't a threat right now because we're in bed with King Muhammad of Saudi Arabia, so all that horseshit gets swept under the Persian rug, unless our overlords need it to further consolidate power.

We need a couple of Paul Kerseys in every city right about now...

 

[The golden neckbeard]

So what is it the left is so unhinged for?

Is the polling wrong again and they knownit?

 

[But I Digress]

Their entire job is to protect the president. If a mob storms his house they're going to shoot.

Untrue, they also handle counterfeit money

 

[Considered HARMful]

Has anybody actually noticed how race suddenly stopped being a "social construct"?

 

[Quoookie]

We need a couple of Paul Kerseys in every city right about now...

and a few Frank Zito's(Joe Spinell)from Maniac 1980...

Whether he is weak or not doesn’t matter. It’s the perception that his opponents are weaker that matters. Also when he starts rallying the riots will be a thing of the past. At most it will last a month till they get the gibbs check. They are already losing steam as it is because they don’t have backing where they need it, from the working class. Who honestly just can’t be bothered to give a shit because they have their own problems. And of course he doesn’t give a shit about his supporters, no government or leader does. They are a means to an end. If you believe otherwise you haven’t been paying attention.

I actually agree with most of what you're saying, including the rhetoric Trump will employ.

However, my sense is Trump is perceived as weak, by both the populace and the institutions that keep him ostensibly in charge. People say many of these protesters are snowflakes, and they are right, yet they have been mass mobilized precisely because there are few credible institutions left to challenge them. Basically, it is safe to put yourself in danger. Even in 2016, it was Trump supporters sent to jail while Antifa activists rioted and beat old boomers. Now in 2020, most of these cities let the rioters and looters out without charges after massive devasatation. The main opposition, middle class and old whites, are too traumatized with anti-white rhetoric, frightened by the potential backlash and loss of employment/status or simply too old to mount a credible resistance. Trump might still win the election, if he isn't pushed out in a soft coup, but this country is headed in one direction and it is a dire one for anyone still remaining with a semblance of critical thinking.

It cant. Mayor Bowser has no authority to make that happen. Shes just virtue signaling to the twitterati.

They are SO GODDAMNED DESPERATE to set up some kind of fed vs state constitutional crisis.

... Why?
