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

[pwnest injun]

JeVa the snack van guy also quit his job, right? I don't really know how to say what I'm thinking, but what if this is similar to a doomsday cult in a weird way, like the people who occasionally think Christ's return is imminent? Sell off all your worldly possessions, empty your bank, this is the rapture revolution you've been waiting for. Just as the prophet Bernie foretold, if you believe hard enough, you can bring forth paradise New Wakanda. It's probably mostly the guys, because women can mooch off a boyfriend or father or onlyfan simps.

They've embraced the revolution hard, and discovered it's like breer rabbit with tar baby: you're stuck for good. They can't back out, because not only have they sunk their entire current wealth into it, but also their future wealth. They're well enough documented as participants, and they have a 4-month gap right now. Even with covid, that'll be hard to explain. Most major corporations are trying to avoid touching anything sensitive in this climate, and anybody with a certain combination of factors screams trouble. All three, yeah, you're never reaching your old quality of life again.

I don't know how to express what I'm going for here. Just interesting that they're only move now is the commie millenialist version of a druck loser in a casino: You've already blown your bank account and taken a $5,000 line of credit, might as well make it $10,000 and hope you score big this time.

After this last dose of reality, I'm willing to bet he'll become disillusioned enough to get a job as a mediocre software engineer at some nowhere special 3rd rate app company and pass away into legend.

Probably not. Violence can go both ways, but since throwing a molotov into a building isn't violence, because it's just your house bro, it's a moot point.

I'm actually suprised at how reserved the right has been. I know it's part geography, part understanding the media's game, and part election anticipation, but even then, it's been very limited. I wonder if it'll hold though. There's no sign of the true believers going away, and if the DAs don't play fair, eventually someone will start ignoring the rules. And if I was a cop or juror, I'd be sorely tempted to abet them.

The right’s restraint may be running out as the election nears.

They know they'll always have some weird squatter collective in Williamsburg or some anarchist's roach-invested tenement to stay in. They have a lot of internet buddies across the nation. They're emboldened and open about it, and none of this shit is going away any time soon.

Maybe, but I'm curious about what will happen if Trump wins a second term. Not so much because of what Trump and Barr will do but how the Woke Left and the DNC will react. If Trump can eke out a popular vote win on top of an electoral win, then the DNC establishment will clean house and disenfranchise The Squad as much as possible.

As for the Woke Left themselves, I could see a Trump win being a massive demoralizing blackpill for them and the Woke Left's going to go in two directions. Half of them will probably chimp out with another burst of riots that will get quashed violently or even try to go full McVeigh as one last stand. The other half will end up being demoralized to the point of suicide or going full NEET/hermit.

There will always be SJW's in certain areas, just like there are still fundies if you know where to look (have you been to Appalachia?) but I think the mere event of Trump victory actually happening despite the last five months is going to be a bitter black pill overdose for the Woke Left. That's not even taking into account what Trump can do with four more years.

If he does win, then Trump will have carte blanche to crack down really hard with four more years on his side with a GOP that's more willing to work with him than before 2018. Even with one hand tied around his back, him and Barr have been doing a lot better than I thought they would be able to back in June.

Deputizing state and local cops as federal agents in the anarchist jurisdictions is a brilliant way to sidestep woke DA's, and he's finally taking steps to remove Critical Race Theory from federal institutions and with four more years, he could extend that to any company or institution that receives federal funds, which would cripple the Woke Left's grip on the universities.

The MSM and Silicon Valley will be hurting financially as is and if Trump's trade war continues and escalates for another four years, then the Chinese market won't be the fallback it used to be. They'll make changes to keep their monopolies in place. Even if Disney and Twitter are "too big to fail", I doubt Trump or a GOP-run Senate will be willing to bail them out.

At least with the bank and auto company bailouts, they were providing services and goods essential to the economy. So if they failed, it would turn a recession into a depression. The only Big Tech companies I could see having that status would be Amazon, AT&T (who also own Warner), and maybe Google. The former is the biggest retailer in the world while the latter two play a role in major communications infrastructure.

Disney, Twitter, Facebook, and the like don't have any of those things going for them

 

[Govt. Shitposting Machine]

Just me throwing my thoughts out there, but besides post-election riots being a guarantee I'm a bit worried about Halloween. In cities I've visited or lived in shit gets turned up for lack of better term, a lot of gang activity and more fights than normal.
This especially applies to NYC, it'll start off as throwing eggs and toilet off the roof for festivity purposes (as mean as it is) to more people than usual getting murdered at like 3AM.
You just know it's going to get even crazier with the current riots on top of that. Keep a look out for spooky looting and burning streams!

Disney killed both Han Solo and Luke Skywalker for no fucking reason. Disney's board members should be given free helicopter rides for that shit.

Thats because the left sees violence as a tool to be used whenever possible. The right sees violence as a last resort or if violence is the only guarantee for survival. Many on the right are waking up to the fact the left wants to murder them. A Biden win will allow the left to act out that bloodlust without governmental restraint. Which leaves the right no choice but to contest such a situation with violence of their own

at the very least i think the kid gloves will come off completely. with the riots no longer serving any purpose towards removing trump, anybody with two brain cells to rub together will see that destroying their own cities is very, very much not in their own best interests.

personally i want to see fucks like de blasio guillotined in minecraft as well, looting your own city while destroying its future should be an offense worthy of capital punishment for the sheer number of lives you damage or destroy.

Not bad enough being Halloween, it's on a Saturday, so more people will be free for the weekend.
It's also a Blue Moon if you're superstitious about that.

I'd be more interested, not in bailouts, but in anti-trust cases. Disney and Google own virtually half of everything that exists. It's bigger than AT&T and Standard Oil ever hoped it could be. With its control over social media, advertising and entertainment content. You could say they are a government unto themselves.

De Blasio and Cuimo did more damage to the city than 9/11.

I probably interpret left/right distinctions through Haidt's moral foundations theory more often than I should, but it does seem to explain a lot. Conservatives, unlike liberals, consider authority to be a source of moral authority; it's intrinsically good to obey authority. This also predicts propensity for violence. In a functioning society, there is a social contract in which the people cede the right to commit violence to the government, and the government agrees to use violence only in a lawful manner. Conservatives might not be happy with the government, they might want to disengage with it entirely, but they acknowledge the moral force inherent in authority and usually fulfill their part in this social contract. Liberals don't particularly care about authority, it's a useful tool but not a moral force in itself, so this contract is lightly thrown aside.

This moral attachment to authority is why right-wing extremists imagine the government isn't really the legitimate government, it's ZOG or admiralty courts or reptilians, and they usually self-isolate innawoods to avoid engaging with that authority. Direct action is limited to lone wolves and small groups. The left has a much lower barrier to anti-authority violence. It's much easier to recruit leftists to engage in violence against the government. That's why we have hundreds, if not thousands, of left-wing terrorists active in 2020, while recent right-wing terrorism is limited to, I think, a soi-disant Proud Boy maybe punching someone.

What makes you think a Trump win means Silicon Valley hurts financially other than the companies facing Section 230 issues? Tech has been one of the biggest booms during his presidency. Are you defining “Silicon Valley” as a handful of the biggest names like Amazon, Google, Twitter, Facebook?

Yes.

Basically, I'm using the term as shorthand for the big tech monopolies. I think Twitter and Facebook are more likely to get ratfucked by Section 230 issues if Trump gets a second term while Google should be hit with a big anti-trust investigation alongside Disney and Amazon. Cruz has been pushing for one and I think if enough people raised a stink about it, he probably would go after Google

That plus trade restrictions with China and slashing H1-B visas allowances. The Section 230 changes alone could lead to huge civil liability.

But realistically, the current Big Tech monopolies have too much of a cash cushion to really be worried. The heart of their monopolies are unitary technologies that can't really be split up. Google pays out millions in fines in the EU for all these "landmark" rulings against them, and it doesn't faze them at all. A second Trump term would ding their bottom line, but not wreck them.

There's plenty of mere ideological reasons for Big Tech to oppose Trump and enable the lefty rioters, not the least of which is their own employees sympathize with them. It's hard to get your Algorithm Tweaking Department to stop censoring conservatives when the whole Department is full of people who hate conservatives.

"Oh so we had to pay $10 million for breaking the law? Joke's on you, we made a billion breaking it."

But that same $10 million is a death penalty to nearly anyone else.

The thing to realize about all this shitty behavior from big tech, be it major like H1-B workers trained by those they replace or minor like shitty new UI the userbase hates - are almost always middle management driven and the company doesn’t rely on such decisions as a way to break even. Instead, they’re some idiot saving two cents per year and rewarded for such brilliant thinking with a fat bonus. There are other evils in big tech, but no evil greater than the middle manager desperately searching for a quick and easy way to get noticed and promoted. Same reason why Google kills services all the time. Somebody got employee of the month for destroying what someone else built in the name of cutting costs.

There are trends, like the fact visa workers can’t unionize and thus are the ultimate disposable employee, but these are accidents. Not intentional. The people who initial these policies are not that competent.

I backed them on fighting the Spanish court's ruling that they had to pay newspapers just to post a link to their stories. It was an absurd interpretation of how the Internet works. I was glad Google was a big enough behemoth to say "no thanks, get fucked" and crash the entire Spanish news industry.

Silver linings aside, that kind of scale makes them nearly impossible to regulate, on a basic logistical level. Google News' algorithm for the riots has been absolute shit for the last 100+ days, and there's almost no regulation you can think of that would fix it.
