Why is everyone supporting the Protests - From Celebs, to your favorite streams, even giant corperations

[tehpope]

Over the last few days, we've seen most of the major companies or celebrities (Hollywood, Music, and E-celeb) supporting the protests. Why is that? What do they gain from having supporting these protests?

At first it was all the celebs donating to the fund to release people jailed. Then they started showing support for BLM. Now major corporations (Disney, Nike, Sony, Amazon, Google) are also throwing their 2 cents into the ring.

Everyone was pretty much in agreement those 4 cops should get the book thrown at them, but its illogical to see them agreeing with the mob that the should be able to loot and riot all they want.

The only thing I can think of is the fear of being cancelled. They fear of loss of revenue. Or for celebs, the loss of their careers.

they get cancelled if they don't

not so much by the public at large, but by their personal in-group. remember that these people all run in circles that are dominated by turbo leftists.

A lot of people think what happened to Floyd is wrong. Even the conservative talk radio guys say that cop was out of control and that Floyd didn't deserve to die.

What people are divided on is how to express opinions about the rioting. One side wants to ignore it and the other side is saying knock it off.

This.

Since the riots are going national instead of being confined to the Twin Cities, and have done so fairly quickly, I think the big companies are doing this to avoid the effects of cancel culture.

But given yesterday's announcement regarding the Antifa movement, that may change in the coming weeks and months as they all leave the denial phase of grief and start to realize that this could get more serious than mere SJW cancel culture.

If BLM starts getting blowback from the designation of Antifa as a terrorist group, then things are going to change fast. It's a known fact that BLM and Antifa are close collaborators, and they both openly flaunt their alliance on social media.

The doomers can negrate me all they want, but I think we're going to have a really long and very interesting summer this year...

Social status.

They want to feel good about themselves by doing next to nothing.

This should be the ONLY reasonable reaction to this. There shouldn't even be a debate about this. Business owners were already suffering with CoronaChan, this is just making things 100x worse.

Remember, you're racist if you don't let nogs burn your home, rape your wife and murder your kids.

Literally no one, not even the people condoning the riots as "the voice of the unheard", is saying this.
EDIT: Random lunatics on Twitter don't count; I know for a fact that there are at minimum five different people on Twitter arguing for the legalization of cannibalism.

 

[Smug Chuckler]

I support it because I want to forget the coronas and see idiots get into trouble.

I was being cheeky - But my hot take on why "everyone" is coming out in support of the ((protesters)) is because they don't want to be labelled ''evil, racist, nazi babykilling boot-lickers".

because everyone benefits from the government being overthrown. no regulations, no taxes which means more money to be spent consooming, nobody getting killed by pigs or imprisoned for smoking weed means more customers. a few (insured) burnt down buildings is a small price to pay for this. this may be the only chance in your lifetime to help make ancapistan a reality. anyone not supporting the rioters right now is a bootlicking faggot no better than those white guilt cucks down on their knees begging blacks for forgiveness for slavery. freedom is worth dying for.

"Maybe if we publically support these retarded animals burning down low-income housing units and Black-American owned businesses, they won't burn down anything we own,"

There is no freedom without security.

There's nothing wrong with protesting. The question is why they're supporting violent riots.

Thanks to Corona Lockdown, many people have tense feelings, are bored and don't have the capacity to properly process feelings in the first place so once someone threw a brick at a shop, everyone followed suit so they can get out of the house for a bit and hope to get away with crime.

Why people support it? Because a black man was actually wrongfully killed by a cop and instead of presenting numerous cases of police brutality, they clutch onto this one to make a non-existing point that cops are facists. THAT murder was wrong and sensible people can agree but SJWs are blowing the situation WAY out of proportion to virtue signal and if you call them out on it, Cancel Culture will bite your arse. SJWs defend riots to the core because they don't have the word power to change people's minds so they use this fear to manipulate arse-kissing celebs to agree with them or they'll get called a racist.

It's power, basically. No sensible person agrees with the riots but Twitter demands it.

I guess as long as there's no mass murders, or their targets are the ones being slain, it's all right to support violent looting and the ruination of innocent people's livelihoods. While I don't condone or agree with the actions of the cop, I agree even less that the course of action is to burn down restaurants and police stations until the city is complete ash due to mob mentality and mob stupidity. Doesn't help that Corona's still rearing its ugly head in many areas, and with many people already pissed off at the lockdowns, something had to give eventually. This just so happened to be it unfortunately.

About the only people I've seen outside of the Farms that are against it are the government, and I'm willing to bet there's some within those ranks that support the looting and torching going on as long as it doesn't directly affect them or their lives (be it their job, well-being, or them simply just being alive). So Naturally, if the government is against the riots, you got to think the exact opposite of them and support it. Which is a very stupid idea, and one I doubt any of these people supporting will realize until it happens to them. Sure there'll be some deaths, but you can try to justify it by saying "The law drove us to do it!", despite how stupid it sounds.

 

[Keep Yourself Safe]

I support it because I've invested in drama coin.

 

[Happy Fish]

Its an election year. China is under heat. The left needed a power play. They decided to try to incite a riot as they do every election year and lucky them the most recent bout of senseless violence by an overzealous cop was particularly fucking horrible. Gave the left media all the outrage fuel they needed to hold a massive political rally.

Its backfiring hard right now either way, and they are too stupid to realize it.

 

[Tism the Return]

It's fun to watch other countries go up in flames lol

 

[Tim Buckley]

Social status.

They want to feel good about themselves by doing next to nothing.

And it's as predictable as the sunrise, as non complex as toddler's shape matching games, as animalistic as mutts fucking.

 

[Shadfan666xxx000]

We know celebrities will puppet whatever line is given to them. The issue therefore is looking at who is telling them this horseshit and my guess is that big business is a key motivator. Prices for buying businesses have been absolutely ravaged by the China cough and with these riots there will be a massive pile of motivated sellers for vultures to prey upon.
