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

At least Tammy Duckworth is a little more subtle than Stacey Abrams in her thirst for Biden's veep.

 

[MrJokerRager]

He has Erik Prince now, is this the guy in charge of Blackwater? wut he is.

 

[It's HK-47]

Black SJWs on twitter talk all the time about how the holocaust was a genocide of white people, the basis of your argument is false. While I do agree with you that Jews cannot be considered white (at best white passing) the SJWs on twitter consider the holocaust to be a white on white event.

Hence the qualifier, "Sane people." I do not consider black SJWs on Twitter as people who fit into that category.

Watching Tucker's new episode, I think the Teacher and Police unions need to be outlawed and broken up. A lot of shit could be fixed by this. Better workers, less dead weight. actual consequences for not doing their job or not doing their job properly.

Tucker mentioned that Washington state is allowing non-white kids back first. I hope if this happens, Trump sends the fucking troops in to uphold the law. We need to get back to normalcy. Covid-19 is going to be with us a long time. It is essentially influenza 2.0. We don't shut down the entire country forever because thousands get the flu. Life goes on. The only reason we are in this forever lockdown is because the Dems want to control everything. Its to spite trump so normies think he's responsible for not having life go back to normal. Most importantly, the lockdown was meant to effect Trump's chances of winning in November.

If we see all schools stay closed, I predict an increase in crime by pre-teens and teens. This will be more apparent in Black majority areas. Gang membership will increase.

'But how can you stop people remembering things?' cried Winston again momentarily forgetting the dial. 'It is involuntary. It is outside oneself. How can you control memory? You have not controlled mine!'

O'Brien's manner grew stern again. He laid his hand on the dial.

'On the contrary,' he said, 'you have not controlled it. That is what has brought you here. You are here because you have failed in humility, in self-discipline. You would not make the act of submission which is the price of sanity. You preferred to be a lunatic, a minority of one. Only the disciplined mind can see reality, Winston. You believe that reality is something objective, external, existing in its own right. You also believe that the nature of reality is self-evident. When you delude yourself into thinking that you see something, you assume that everyone else sees the same thing as you. But I tell you, Winston, that reality is not external. Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else. Not in the individual mind, which can make mistakes, and in any case soon perishes: only in the mind of the Party, which is collective and immortal. Whatever the Party holds to be the truth, is truth. It is impossible to see reality except by looking through the eyes of the Party. That is the fact that you have got to relearn, Winston. It needs an act of self-destruction, an effort of the will. You must humble yourself before you can become sane.'

He paused for a few moments, as though to allow what he had been saying to sink in.

'Do you remember,' he went on, 'writing in your diary, "Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four"?'

'Yes,' said Winston.

O'Brien held up his left hand, its back towards Winston, with the thumb hidden and the four fingers extended.

'How many fingers am I holding up, Winston?'

'Four.'

'And if the party says that it is not four but five -- then how many?'

'Four.'

The word ended in a gasp of pain. The needle of the dial had shot up to fifty-five. The sweat had sprung out all over Winston's body. The air tore into his lungs and issued again in deep groans which even by clenching his teeth he could not stop. O'Brien watched him, the four fingers still extended. He drew back the lever. This time the pain was only slightly eased.

'How many fingers, Winston?'

'Four.'

The needle went up to sixty.

'How many fingers, Winston?'

'Four! Four! What else can I say? Four!'

The needle must have risen again, but he did not look at it. The heavy, stern face and the four fingers filled his vision. The fingers stood up before his eyes like pillars, enormous, blurry, and seeming to vibrate, but unmistakably four.

'How many fingers, Winston?'

'Four! Stop it, stop it! How can you go on? Four! Four!'

'How many fingers, Winston?'

'Five! Five! Five!'

'No, Winston, that is no use. You are lying. You still think there are four. How many fingers, please?'

'Four! five! Four! Anything you like. Only stop it, stop the pain!'

Abruptly he was sitting up with O'Brien's arm round his shoulders. He had perhaps lost consciousness for a few seconds. The bonds that had held his body down were loosened. He felt very cold, he was shaking uncontrollably, his teeth were chattering, the tears were rolling down his cheeks. For a moment he clung to O'Brien like a baby, curiously comforted by the heavy arm round his shoulders. He had the feeling that O'Brien was his protector, that the pain was something that came from outside, from some other source, and that it was O'Brien who would save him from it.

'You are a slow learner, Winston,' said O'Brien gently.

'How can I help it?' he blubbered. 'How can I help seeing what is in front of my eyes? Two and two are four.'

'Sometimes, Winston. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane.'

He laid Winston down on the bed. The grip of his limbs tightened again, but the pain had ebbed away and the trembling had stopped, leaving him merely weak and cold. O'Brien motioned with his head to the man in the white coat, who had stood immobile throughout the proceedings. The man in the white coat bent down and looked closely into Winston's eyes, felt his pulse, laid an ear against his chest, tapped here and there, then he nodded to O'Brien.

'Again,' said O'Brien.

The pain flowed into Winston's body. The needle must be at seventy, seventy-five. He had shut his eyes this time. He knew that the fingers were still there, and still four. All that mattered was somehow to stay alive until the spasm was over. He had ceased to notice whether he was crying out or not. The pain lessened again. He opened his eyes. O'Brien had drawn back the lever.

'How many fingers, Winston?'

'Four. I suppose there are four. I would see five if I could. I am trying to see five.'

'Which do you wish: to persuade me that you see five, or really to see them?'

'Really to see them.'

'Again,' said O'Brien.

Perhaps the needle was eighty -- ninety. Winston could not intermittently remember why the pain was happening. Behind his screwed-up eyelids a forest of fingers seemed to be moving in a sort of dance, weaving in and out, disappearing behind one another and reappearing again. He was trying to count them, he could not remember why. He knew only that it was impossible to count them, and that this was somehow due to the mysterious identity between five and four. The pain died down again. When he opened his eyes it was to find that he was still seeing the same thing. Innumerable fingers, like moving trees, were still streaming past in either direction, crossing and recrossing. He shut his eyes again.

'How many fingers am I holding up, Winston?'

'I don't know. I don't know. You will kill me if you do that again. Four, five, six -- in all honesty I don't know.'

'Better,' said O'Brien.

Without police unions, I guaran-fucking-tee you it would be open season on cops for the woke mob. Garrett Rolfe and any other cop who ever shot some nigger trash in self defense, or happened to have them keel over from a fent OD while being detained, would get no fair treatment or due process whatsoever, especially in majority black or Democrat-run cities. Teachers' unions are a different matter...much different profession, politics, and place in liberal ideology.

IMO the problem was never with teachers, cops, or unions themselves inherently, but that liberalism has corrupted those things and/or the context they exist in to various degrees.

Tucker has Sessions on now, time to see if Trump will change his views lol.

 

[heathercho]

CNN et al are pushing hard on this "don't open schools" crap. Which leans into one of the "messages"/demands of the BLM bullshit to abolish schools and abolish education. Yet at the same time calling for free college for all....

The virus, whomever released it and why, was always going to be a catalyst for the media and leftists morons to inflict their never-ending war on society. The first clue that Coronavirus lockdowns were a loaded weapon, should have been when every news outlet kept saying "New Normal". The obsession with masks was never to do with the virus - it was about sending a clear message of suppression by covering the mouth (something you'll see when ANTIFA deface statues - they put tape over the mouths) as well as normalizing the black bloc look. When Fauci said "Masks don't work, but wear them in solidarity", it should have been pretty obvious.

This is all going to be a very difficult thing to pull out of, since you have people in authority, like the media, using "concern" for the virus as a means to cripple normality, but at the same time, the virus was forgotten about when nogs were going nuts.

I mean you'd have to be a genuine fucking moron now to think this is all just about a virus after you see the pet apes escaped from the zoo un-chastised.

[Dog-O-Tron 5000v5.0]

A lot of people have noticed the similarities between BLM and organized religion, and pointed out that BLM is like a cult going mainstream and taking over society. I've been rereading a lot of books I've read since college to try and make sense of today, and saw something which articulated a point I've mentioned several times, that the rise of BLM is like the rise of Christianity in the Roman Empire.

Peter Brown is an historian who has written extensively on Late Antiquity--the fall of the Roman Empire, and the subsequent period. In his book The World of Late Antiquity I saw some things which very much reminded me of what we're seeing now, and the possible outcome of what is happening. Trigger warning, it's a bit long:

"At the end of the fourth century, the temples of the gods had survived in most great cities and in the surrounding countryside. After Constantine, they were partly 'secularized'; but they continued to be visited, and they were respected as public monuments by cultivated townspeople, pagan and Christian alike, rather like the beautiful cathedrals of some Communist states. To many bishops, however, they were a source of 'infection' to their congregations. To the monks, they were the fortresses of the enemy, the devil.
<SNIP>
From Mesopotamia to North Africa, a wave of religious violence swept town and countryside: in 388 the monks burnt a synagogue at Callinicum near the Euphrates; at the same time they terrorized the village-temples of Syria; in 391 the patriarch of Alexandria, Theophilus, called them in to 'purge' the city of the great shrine of Serapis, the Serapeum. Bands of monastic vigilantes, led by Scheundi of Atripe patrolled the towns of Upper Egypt, ransacking the houses of pagan notables for idols. In North Africa, similar wandering monks, the "Circumcellions', armed with cudgels called 'Israels', stalked the great estates, their cry of 'Praise be to God' more fearful than the roaring of a mountain lion. In 415, the Egyptian monks shocked collected opinion by lynching a noble Alexandrian lady, Hypatia.

Paganism, therefore, was brutally demolished from below. For the pagans, cowed by this unexpected wave of terrorism, it was the end of the world. 'If we are alive,' wrote one, 'then life itself is dead.'"

Replace religions temples with Wendy's, Targets, Confederate statues, replace "bands of monks" with "protestors", replace Bishops with "Social Justice/BLM Activists", replace "great estates" with Ken and Karen's house, replace 'Praise be to God' with 'No Justice, No Peace!' and you see scenes exactly like today.

And of course, the national leaders and politicians kowtow to the movement:
"In 390, the emperor Theodosius I massacred the inhabitants of Thessalonica when they lynched their military governor; he nearly did the same to the people of Antioch, when they refused to pay taxes. Yet he congratulated the Christians of Antioch for having taken the law in their own hands in destroying the Serapeum, one of the wonders of the ancient world."

How many leaders are now praising the protestors for toppling statues and destroying priceless art? But when vocal people want the world changed, all you have to do is roll with it and you come out on top:
"The emperor Theodosius committed the bloodbath of Thessalonica, his statues were overturned and pelted by the citizens of Antioch; yet he went down in history as Theodosius 'the Great', the exemplary Catholic monarch. He had aligned himself with the 'grass-roots' movements of the great cities of the empire. At Milan, he bowed dutifully before the bishop, St Ambrose; at Rome he worshiped at the shrine of St Peter and poured money into a magnificent new basilica to St Paul. At Alexandria, he condoned the atrocities of Theophilus. Like the duke of Plaza Toro, Theodosius the Great led his regiment from the rear; he and his court followed, with exceptional sensitivity, the seismic shift that had placed the Christian bishop and the holy man at the head of popular opinion in the nerve-centres of the empire."
KNEEL TO BLM

Like the Twitterati who are tiny in number but controlling the narrative, the actual movers and shakers of the early Christian movement were not at all numerous:
"The monks, of course, were never more than a tiny percentage of the population of the empire. Nevertheless, it was paradoxically just these eccentrics who turned Christianity into a mass religion. They did this largely through their ability to sum up, in their persons, the piety of the average Roman now turned Christian."

The Christian religion in the Roman Empire went from a fringe, literally underground cult to persecuted as it gained traction, to being forced to sacrifice to pagan gods, to being tolerated, and then becoming mainstream. The first Christian emperor, Constantine, was able to favor both Christians and pagans and deal with both professionally. His nephew Julian the Apostate actually tried to bring back paganism. There were debates over removing statues and altArs from places like the Senate house, but the debates could be had.

Theodosius ruled almost 29 years after Julian; but he was only 15 years younger and was in office less time than Julian. Yet he ushered in these changes, divided the empire between two long ruling but ineffective sons who had less power than the clergy. Paganism would eventually be extinguished by the sword, in one of the most brutal and total exterminations of a religion in history. Christians mercilessly converted or killed pagans and when they ran out they started rioting and fighting against each other, arguing theological minutia as more and more sections of the empire were lost to barbarians. I can't help but see the similarities between the changes in Roman society due to Christianity and the changes we are seeing due to BLM, the Social Justice movement, Intersectionality, and Marxism. And I can't help but fear that what happened to the Romans will happen to us.

BLM is a religion; it has sacrifice, praises, hymns, devotionals, chants and faith. You must donate money towards it. Worship is compulsory in society and the workplace. And this is what happens when religions take over a society. You want the playbook for what's next, read about Late Antiquity.

>don't open schools
So homeschooling is okay now?

Nope. Can't have kids being taught properly now. If they could, homeschooling would have been outlawed by now. You have to send your kids to digital school. Whether or not they learn is up to them. The teachers can't really do anything. And if little Johnny or Suzy have no discernible skills, its fine too.

This is what the left wants. They want a generation of kids who know nothing and can do nothing. The only way they can earn money is by UBI. UBI would be run by the government. With UBI would come free housing and free everything. If anyone has wrongthink or disagrees with the big brother, then they get their benefits pulled and have to live on the streets. They want it so no one knows how to be self dependent.

Edit: the prelude to ubi would be opening voting to all ages. Dems would leave the POCs behind and focus exclusively on 18 and under. Young minds are the most vulnerable to persuasion. The first big push from these groups would be UBI because the dems would convince these kids it would be the only way to make a living.

I'm so tired of people who did some kind of "service" be it military, public, or first responder thinking that makes them somehow more important or qualified to speak on anything not having to do with what they did in their role there or makes them immune from criticism. Even then, their input is only worth the knowledge from training or are anecdotes (which are certainly useful but not exactly concrete).

If you think destroying George Washington monuments is a "reasonable debate," you're damn right I'm going to question your loyalty to / love of America

 

[DNA_JACKED]

So the only solution is a counter Islamic Revolution or Civil War which leads to a Charlemagne figure after years of darkness?

More likely a balkanization of the united states. Splitting the union and giving BLM its own territory leading to other groups staking their own claims eventually leading to the "old" united states being whatever the federal government can maintain hold of without causing uproar. Eventually these multiple smaller states would congeal into a handful of larger more powerful states, likely at least one would be under foreign control, most likely the west coast.

 

[Jet Fuel Johnny]

She's, sadly, a political officer. She traded all of her oaths, all of her loyalty, to a political party for power and support.

I'm not going to talk shit about her, beyond the fact she was a medic and probably had more dicks in her mouth than an eating contest winner had hot-dogs and she's probably an authority on what snake-eater dick tastes like, but like Crenshaw, as soon as she got a modicum of power, she shit all over where she had been and where she had come from.

Funny thing, I'm more disappointed in her than Crenshaw. Crenshaw was a snake eater, and most of the time they're shitty people underneath their flag waving veneer.

If she supports tearing down all of these statues, supports a DOMESTIC ENEMY, then she's violated her oaths. She doesn't have the excuse Crenshaw does that some CIA faggot laid eggs in his brain while butt-fucking him.

"All enemies, foreign and domestic" is supposed to ring true.

Now she's supporting them.

And Crenshaw? Well, he's a snake eater who ran with spooks. He's been sucking off the CIA, and that pretty much defines a domestic enemy since they tried to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power at the behest of Black Jesus, Shillary, and the DNC.

So the only solution is a counter Islamic Revolution or Civil War which leads to a Charlemagne figure after years of darkness?

Well, Julian the Apostate did try to turn back the clock on Christianity, not by heavy handed persecutions like Diocletian did but disincentivizing Christianity in society and trying to build a more cohesive Pagan 'Church' of sorts. He died in a campaign in Persia though (some say at the hands of one of his own Christian soldiers) and it's hard to say if he would've had any lasting success if he'd lived longer.

More likely a balkanization of the united states. Splitting the union and giving BLM its own territory leading to other groups staking their own claims eventually leading to the "old" united states being whatever the federal government can maintain hold of without causing uproar. Eventually these multiple smaller states would congeal into a handful of larger more powerful states, likely at least one would be under foreign control, most likely the west coast.

Which is ultimately exactly what Theodosius ended up doing.

Here's Tucker's destruction of Duckworth.

Edit: this is the best ever.
