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

I recently described this site to a progressive friend of mine using that exact label. I said "it's mostly late 90's/early 2000's liberals, plus some WN who keep ranting about Jews". I made the distinction as being non-woke, and one of the examples I used was "they support gay marriage but think there's only 2 genders".

He told me such people aren't liberals any more, that "liberalism has moved past that" and they can't be classified as "the left". You aren't officially alt-right neo-Nazis (yet), but you don't get to be liberals if you're the same liberal from 20 years ago.

That's only 1 anecdote, but it's the same sentiment I've seen on social media as well, which has a decidedly progressive bent. I've sperged about the difference between progressive vs liberal elsewhere, and it's off topic here, so I won't repeat it. But that split, and the resulting war, is being manifested in the Democratic primaries and in the liberal city strongholds right now.

If you're wondering why Antifa has been spray-painting "liberals get the bullet too" since 2017, that's why. You aren't liberals any more. The left's fellow-travelers are kicking you off the bus, in preparation to throw you under it. Portland rioters vs Ted Wheeler is a perfect example.
That's been going on for some time now. I remember the years when I used to watch TYT, Secular Talk (because yes, I had my libshit years as well) and most if not all of their panel members described themselves as liberal. Around Obama's second election campaign they shifted to progressive. Turn to the years when I started to change my views (2015 -2016) and they were getting endeared to the term "democratic socialist". Now, in the current year, Jiimy Dore flat out calls himself socialist.

I think everyone here agrees for the most part, the disagreement comes in when we start discussing the root causes of the problems we all agree exist, or discussing the solution for it. It's a useful discussion to have, however.

Ideology matters but the main cause right now is to shut the commies up. We can dicker about the rest after that part is done.

It'd be wise to remember one of (if not the) the primary features of our opposition that we like to dole mockery out towards is their fantastic fucking ability to eat themselves and tear each other apart on the simplest basis of disagreement or difference in reasoning, factionalism is rampant amidst the left.

Best we not follow the same circlejerk, clusterfuck path; we are the right side - should act right.
 
I mean, she could just go get the keys. There's been more than one occasion where after taking inventory of an arrestee's property, a family member showed up at the station needing keys. You just get the suspect's consent and have them resign their property receipt. It's a hassle, but not that uncommon.

But I suppose that would mean having to actually talk to some mean 'ol policemen and we can't have that now can we?
 
I need my avatar on the bottom left, dead last, dropping an entire encyclical diatribe amount mental health and doomerism and endlessly fucking rambling.

That would be me apologizing for rambling way too fucking often in this thread sometimes. I am sorry, fellas.

We are watching what appears to be a slow motion... Revolution? Coup? If we get the occasional ramble it is understandable since we have to process this thing together.

Granted if I wasn't on the Kiwi Farms I probably wouldn't even know there was rioting but it is too late for that.

I appreciate what you share.

I appreciate pretty much everyone that has shared opinions and insight in this thread. With so many different opinions and beliefs I'm proud to be part of a group that can have conversations that don't devolve into screaming at old ladies with walkers and tossing paint ...because we're all better than that.

>come into thread wanting to laugh at latest ANTIFA sperging
>instead find kiwis sperging out against each other in pointless debates

This is a website to laugh at retards, not act like retards. Take this shit to PMs and stop shitting up the thread.

it always happens when there's anticipation for the weekend but not much (yet) going on

Doompilling admittedly has been tedious since the first page of this thing, but the counter to autism is not more autism

Precisely, the left has experienced innumerable schisms, the most notable in recent memory being the split between TERFs and the 'you don't need a vagina to be a woman' crowd. They're like an ouroboros with how often they eat and attack one another. Unite the Right accomplished the opposite of its intent [with some help from the media and probably agitators] and produced the same exact sort of schism in our ranks. The riots seem to have galvanized everyone on the right, and for a while unified us, but the root of these problems and the solutions for them are where infighting begins. Not to mention our solutions are rather unpalatable for many. Tarrant created a bit of a schism too, but not nearly as bad as Charlottesville.

Part of the issue that cannot be discounted is that the shifting of the Overton window left behind a lot of classical liberals, libertarians, even socialists who don't follow all of this idpol bullshit. As a result they've found themselves in strange company with the right. They still hold their ideas and solutions dear, but they've realized the one fundamental thing that we all know regardless of ideology: the radical left has gone too far and it cannot continue if we want any semblance of a strong society, and if it does, it might end western civilization as we know it. Some of us vehemently disagree on social policies, economics, all kinds of issues, but the one thing we can all mostly agree on is that the batshit far left must be stopped.

If we can try to overlook all of the ideological disagreements for a while at least, we can deal with the red scourge and then we'll figure out the rest. Pretty much everyone here is capable of intelligent discourse and spirited debate, which is a bit of an endangered species on the Internet and has been for some years. I reckon we'll do fine coming to compromises when the time comes, however right now tensions are running high and everybody's angry so we're all more likely to lash out at eachother since patience is wearing thin. We need to deal with our common enemy first.
 
1. We are victims of our own success.
1a. Since we are living longer that means people are working longer. This causes bureaucratic inertia since the top positions fill up which leaves only low level, unfulfilling jobs.
1b. Specialization has left people unable to communicate with each other. We feel increasingly alienated from each other because we can't describe our problems.

2. Generational Cultural shift. The Greatest Generation (and the generation before that) moved out to the suburbs and was seduced by the materialism. Baby Boomers aped the virtues of their parents. "Frugality" became "cheapness." "Loyalty" became "everyone for themselves." "Legacy" became "take everything not nailed down."

Gen X'ers rebelled against the boomers, losing what little philosophy survived the boomers.

Millennials now have no philosophies or traditions.

3. Millennials are authoritarian little shits. Every liberal my age has an authoritarian streak to them. Not sure why. Might be because their parents were fuck ups as well.
It’s the fucking smugness. They NEED to feel superior to others. They don’t believe in any sort of religious deity so instead they worship the State. It’s all hubris and them thinking if only the retards in fly over country listened to them we could have every pipe dream they can think of. Just look at them saying “print MOAR and shutdown forever.”

Thankfully, comments like that are in the minority. Most commenters seem outraged.


This person claims an old lady in a wheelchair was at the protests, although I don't recall seeing video of that:

"That crippled woman ran over someone's toes with her wheelchair! This makes her a fascist and thus we can give her the beating she deserves!"

Fuck. These. People.

Wheelchair lady ought to roll up next time with a MG-42 mounted to her chair's armrest, see if they fuck with her then, in Minecraft. Bet they wouldn't because for as much as they enjoy larping as revolutionaries the second an existential threat presents itself they scatter like the cockroaches they are.

How the fuck can you be not only so dimwitted but so brainwashed that your side is beating cripples and throwing paint at senior citizens and somehow you still think you're on the right side of history, you're the good guys? Jesus Christ, Jeffrey Dahmer probably had a better moral compass than some of these asshats.

Always with the "we were infiltrated!" lie. I saw it during OWS and it always seemed like idiots that were there from the start just expressed whatever opinion was rattling around in their head and no one cared to tell them they sounded like a retard. These "infiltrators" are the same people you've made bedfellows with for months just expressing enacting the violent anarchist fantasy that they always wanted. Don't call it a grave.

Dahmer committed his crimes in secret, because he knew that society would disapprove of killing and dismembering people.

Antifa members loudly commit their crimes on camera in front of a crowd.

Thus, we can safely conclude that Jeffrey Dahmer did indeed have a better sense of morality than Antifa assholes.
