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

[deeplyhigh]

You're discounting the tunnel vision aspects of the Internet. You can pick exactly which sites cater to your point of view, and never see the bad news that disproves what you want to believe. Hell, even if everyone uses the same social media site, you can still isolate yourself from the other side.

My anecdote: I showed an acquaintance the head-kicking video and said "BLM is not a peaceful movement". The response was a video of an actual peaceful protest, saying "it has two sides and you're just focusing on the part you want to, you refuse to acknowledge the peaceful parts". They refused to believe that BLM has any culpability in any violence because "a protest can't control what everybody does".

There is a real problem with explaining the violence of BLM to people who protested immediately after the George Floyd video.

They think, "well I protested, and I was peaceful, and everyone around me that day was peaceful". They refuse to think that violent people under the same banner on a different day have anything to do with their beliefs. It's agitators, invisible boogaloo boys, or white people causing trouble. It's not them, and it's certainly not the movement they experienced.

Accepting today's riots are bad means that their protests were bad. But they know their own intentions were good, so the movement which channeled those intentions couldn't be bad. You aren't going to solve that contradiction with a video of riots in a different city.

These are people who value "lived experience" above facts or data; the peaceful protest is their lived experience. You won't invalidate their emotional attachment to the memory with just some conflicting data.

You won't get them to give up their badge of honor. They are desperate to claim nobility and rightness for themselves--as we all are, to a degree; but their source of goodness is their politics.

This is anecdotal, but I have seen both sides of it when keeping an eye on my old neighborhood‘s Nextdoor. The neighborhood itself was unique because it had young, more radical lefties, older hippie liberals, and then going west, there were wealthy people with seven figure homes. The most entrenched lefties/liberals seem more likely to say they went to protests and they were peaceful. I encountered one of these people on a thread this week (a professor, no less). But on the same thread, several others jumped in to back up my points and told her she is a biased idiot who should not be teaching young people. She eventually turned off her notifications because she could not handle the normie storm. I think what is happening is people who are the “just wanna grill” types and do not usually care about politics are being activated. They are the ones who are less likely to be brainwashed by mainstream media too because they are not paying attention to it.

If you are planning on buying at a gun shop, you probably will not be able to be picky. Check Armslist and Gunbroker instead and get something shipped to a FFL if you want more options.

Shoot some stuff. Go to a range that rents guns and shoot a few handguns. Figure out what you like to control and what not. After that, buy which ever one was most comfortable. Its different per person just like preference in food or cars. I like a hefty heavy bang, so I prefer 1911. Most people I know go with a 9mm and I even know a guy who just likes how intimidating a six shooter is so he's got a dirty harry style revolver. But if its conceal I'd suggest against a revolver.

This.

I like 9mm, but am also a smol lady, so I have to go with subcompacts. Can’t go wrong with a Glock imo. They are not exciting but I tend to be most accurate with them.

I hate being a doomer, but doomerism is reality. When have these Bolshevik psychos ever lost or been held accountable? I'll wait.

Primarily avoid the thread to avoid derailing it nowadays but I figured I'd remark on your doomerism - I don't wanna stop your train too much but do you realize how many bolshevik revolutions have failed across history? If you'd like, I can list the nations one-by-one that've suffered attempted Communist revolutions (Hell, Greece suffered a full-scale civil war on the culmination of the interbellum following WW2, launched entirely by the KPD, now a relatively-fringe party although one could say Marxism has made a comeback in Greece in the past ten years through SYRIZA, a symptom of the times really.) and how those nations actually prevented those takeovers.

Put simply it's just a matter of accepting the things that have to be done to 'correct' the course, because none of them are very fucking pretty.

Bolsheviks, Communists, have lost plenty of fucking times - more-so than they've succeeded, but the reality of the transformative period that has to occur in order to chase out Marxist thought is unfortunately grim, and has never been pretty.

I was wondering about this. Maybe they were going to drag their feet on bringing this guy in. Probably cursing the fact he turned himself in.

Now the question is, was he charged for assaulting the tranny or the white man?

Legit surprised it took a whole week.

When I was in the ghetto it started within hours and was finished in less than a day.

We had a welder who claims they stole the leads off his service truck while he was using them. (He was working inside a building so they cut them off at the walk door and unhooked the other end )

"Reserve MLK Blvd and Alberta for black owned businesses".

Literal, de jure segregation. White Democrats are marching out in droves, committing violence and burning down courthouses and the only way they will stop is if the government agrees to make sure the darkies have their own separate but equal space.

I already avoid MLK, now they want to make it official?

Also, if they mean Alberta street, that ship has saaaaaiiiiiiled. Its a street with nice little stores and restaurants. 500k almost buys you a shithole house to live in, or maybe an empty lot. Nail salons ain't coming back to Alberta.

These are people who believe the United States of America is an illegitimate nation and its foundations need to be destroyed. They see our society as irreversibly corrupt and that it needs to be fundamentally transformed. It's one thing to have disagreements about simple points of policy. That's not what we have now. If we can't even agree that the basic premises of our society and culture are valid and worth preserving, there is no basis for argument. American Libertarians are going to have to take the Hoppe pill.

That tweet about the shindig at the Episcopal Church has been removed. Wonder why?

Also,the dumbass who staged her own kidnapping is even more stubborn and stupid than gapteeth Stacey Abrams:

You just said she as stubborn and stupid.

You underestimate the power of the propaganda machine. People will still believe these were all peaceful protests, and that the violence was committed by false-flagging Boogaloo Proud Boy cops.

I'm sorry, but this being a massive redpill for the masses just sounds too good to be true. Normies are stupid and gullible.

There is no "revolution" happening. It's an optics war, in the middle of an election year, the actual rioting is a few cities in a few city blocks. If you read through the thread it might make you percieve it's happening everywhere, but you look out the window, the birds are tweeting and everyones getting up ready for work. I'm lucky where I am, since we don't have many mentally ill freeloaders and college indoctrinated kids here, and the local police and civilians would put anything like that down quickly.

That's what people were saying in Russia in 1917, up until October. It's foolish to think "it'll never happen here".

 

[stupidpieceofshit]

And are you really complaining that a resource-poor country would seek to generate revenue by being a flag of convenience? I guess you gotta call out every Pacific Island Nation and the Bahamas then too.

To be fair, Flags of Convenience allow cruise and shipping companies to choose nations with the worst possible worker rights and worker protections (both in physical safety and job security), so although not OP when talking about the issue one should call them out.

How does "Having few mutual followers" mean they are living in "their own" information bubble?, a bubble is because everyone knows everyone basically (i.e. The Clinton supporters). If anything it means they are getting their information form a vasty different people vs "Oh yeah we all saw Billy's tweet about how Trump is the devil"

The thing is that this has been a slow but steady increase up to this point, and the trend shows no clear sign of stopping. Over 10 years ago when I was in college, we already had what we'd now call SJWs, and they were already pulling their now-familiar stunts. At that time it was pretty much limited to college campuses, and even on campus it was still possible to isolate yourself from them. Naively I thought they'd all snap out of it once they got into the real world. But instead they went out and spread their mind virus into corporations, NGOs and other institutions. Campuses became fully controlled by the woke mob, with kangaroo courts installed by executive order. These are all points on a societal trend line that extends decades back. The time to nip this in the bud was the 1950s (McCarthy did nothing wrong) but it's better late than never.

What you get is far less important than how well you use it. A skilled man with a .22 is far more effective than a poseur with a .45. So no matter what you get, you need to practice and practice and practice some more.

I'm sorely tempted to make a Youtube video titled "George Floyd's Final Words" and just having it be that picture and the sound of a chimpanzee screeching in fury.

At this point in time you'll probably only find glocks or hipoints in stock.

If you don't mind using a non-standard ammo type, Makarovs are generally really cheap and useful pistols that fire 9x18mm. Narrow and solidly built but you would have to go to actual gun stores or buy ammo online. Good news is that the ammo is almost always in stock everywhere.

https://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-for-sale-online/pistols/9x18-makarov-pistols.c1754_p1_o6.cfm

The prices used to be 50% of what they are now due to the happening(s).

If you can find one of these

https://www.classicfirearms.com/zastava-m70a-pistol-zastava/

They are really simple beginner friendly pistols that you could use as a club if you felt like it. It is extremely slim and in normal 9mm. You used to be able to get them for about 250 dollars about 5 years ago.

Any modern striker fired pistol in 9mm. Find a gun store with a range where you can rent them or shoot a friend's if you have any who shoot. M&P, XD, Glock, etc as long as it's made by a reputable manufacturer. I am a glockfag because it was only 1911s or glocks at the time. Each brand has some pros and cons. The important thing is that you shoot it. If you are a completely new shooter you should get some instruction as well. Shooting is a perishable skill. Message me if you want because I can sperg at length.

 

[Badungus Kabungus]

Nothing wrong with Glocks. Parts are super common and as long as you stick to something like 9mm, .45ACP, or .40S&W, you can find ammo anywhere. Try handling it first, it's all about the feel. [edit: Oops, Glock doesn't have a .357/.38, they got something else. Anyway, you get the idea.]
