Whereof one does not speak of the existential violence of people's everyday lives, one should STFU about the broken windows of MNCs. /uploads/resized/...

This discussion was merged into Systemic racism in the US: Why is it happening and what can be done?
June 01, 2020 at 05:26
I do agree with this. This election is Trump's to lose, not Biden's to win. I still think the latter is fair game, perhaps especially becasue of the s...

No, I'm not a fascist.

Anyone who cries over looting but had nothing to say over the corporate looting of the American public purse during the recent bailouts ought to lose ...

I don't doubt it.
June 01, 2020 at 01:59
Yes, all of it. Biden - a senile corporatist rapist - is neither 'electable' nor can he be trusted with civil rights protection, given his shitty trac...
June 01, 2020 at 01:56
You quoted a shill piece for a corporatist racist.
June 01, 2020 at 01:50
Hardly, but the WhAt AbOuT TaRgEt???? corporatist brigade can all STFU or jump off a bridge - that'd be a start. And can we not forget that giant reta...

As if black voters vote as a collective block, dickhead. And yeah, when faced with a presidential candidate who tried to sustain school segregation an...

Imagine thinking voting will solve this. For who? Joe Biden? That piece of shit has done more to entrench black poverty in the US than Trump could eve...

Conservatives and "libertarians" like to blabber on about the left's propensity to gatekeep and engage in 'purity testing' over matters of speech and ...

Insofar as it aims to delegitimize protest and deflect from the systemic injustices and in fact restore and prop them up - feeding into the very cycle...
May 31, 2020 at 19:50
The protests were never going to be peaceful, and it is naivety and bad strategy to use that as some kind of standard for discussion. As I said, there...
May 31, 2020 at 19:45
It is absolutely the sentiment. Last 5 pages+ have been spent arguing about 'violence' in protests, and barely a peep about the actual issues. You bei...

People talk about the protest being coopted by violence. But the only thing worse is liberal shittards who coopt that violence in turn to shift all di...
May 31, 2020 at 19:10
"Valid protest" = "Protest which doesn't inconvenience anyone". No one's there for your aesthetic pleasure.
May 31, 2020 at 19:08
Nah, your concerns lie exactly where you've spent hundreds of words talking about - defending MNCs and the rights of property, and then saying otherwi...
May 31, 2020 at 18:54
Well that's fine because I guess I can't really reason with someone who walks into a thread on systemic racism and then defends Target as an opening p...
May 31, 2020 at 18:45
No it's exactly how you post.
May 31, 2020 at 18:43
Maybe it's because of people like you, who, instead of highlighting police violence against protests, the arresting of journalists, the inflammatory l...
May 31, 2020 at 18:41
It does with you. You never follow up your objections. You simply throw out new ones if the last one didn't work. It's rubbish.
May 31, 2020 at 18:37
We can start with that sure. But you're going to have to reverse a 50 year trend. And besides, I made a whole thread on this with some very educationa...
May 31, 2020 at 18:34
This is true, with the caveat that the game is rigged so that all the expanding wealth gets sucked upwards while those without are made to be entrench...

Society was already burning, you're just too blind to see it.
May 31, 2020 at 18:10
Come back to me when they do the latter. So far neither Bitwhatsheface nor Marches seem to give shit other than to suck the balls of Target. Would hat...
May 31, 2020 at 18:09
I don't know what the fuck side you're talking about.
May 31, 2020 at 18:08
Why not indeed? Defending an unjust, broken social contract on the basis of it supposedly being better than there being a void one is stupid.
May 31, 2020 at 18:06
Damn straight it isn't.
May 31, 2020 at 18:03
It's possible to do anything you want.
May 31, 2020 at 18:02
Given that the current system is killing and starving countless many - whatever's less than that would be a start.

It begins with bootlickers like you, of course.

One could see how a wannabe fascist would be scared of antifacists.
May 31, 2020 at 17:11
Good, 'cause I'm not.
May 31, 2020 at 17:06
You don't get to decide what is and is not enough from your high chair. You could, but then you'd be an complete fucking idiot.
May 31, 2020 at 17:04
Ha, tell me how it is. I only read her Being Numerous, which I thought was awesome.
