    What a piece of shit. This is not speaking truth to power, this is playing right into their hands and is hurting the legitimate protestor’s cause.

    Burn the banks, smash the Starbucks, loot the Dior Store. But leave the small shops in peace.

    If dissent is not heard, it must be felt.

    Could people take out their anger on the people causing rather than their peers? What kind of piece of shit do you need to be to not just ruin your peers life but also a whole movement by giving it a bad rep…

      The people responsible for this are just there for the violence, destruction and looting. They use the legit protests as a cover. They don’t care about the people or the movement

      I forget the exact details but in Milwaukee the cops shot a black kid and in response the community… burned down a gas station and hair salon in their own neighborhood.

      There was a clip of a woman being interviewed begging people to stop destroying their own neighborhood. Something like “go to the suburbs and burn their shit down!! We need our weaves!”

      Idk. A lot of unfocused rage and anger will take itself out on the first thing it can find.

    Funny how cops are there to smash some high schooler but not to protect poeple from looters. It’s almost like they are not here to protect /s

      as we’ve learned in other posts these are justifiable acts of the unheard and not commie agitators who fancy a rumble and some free shit

      i hope they all get the education they so passionately want

    Fly kicking someone from behind, as they walk away from confrontation, is a real piece of shit move.

    Anarchism in lemmy posts is some utopia while praxis looks a lil bit different

      Pray tell how this has anything to do with self-determined decentralized communal organizations, or did you just ask ChatGPT “what is anarchism” before this post

      Thanks for sharing your conservative reactionary take…

        Ok. Then this is what happens during the glorious revolution. After the revolution, contrary to the last X times, we will have:

          In practice anarchism sets up social institutions that serve as a quasi state apparatus without the centralized power structure, believe it or not often including activities close to “policing” .

          Like all political ideologies it must function in a flawed reality operated by flawed humans. I have no doubt that the belief when taken to an extreme caricature is unrealistic.

          Nonetheless it serves as a direction for political organizing towards an ideal, just as liberalism or facism.

          Fine if it doesn’t suit your political ideal - for me it is helpful as a guidepoint to a just society.

          Please don’t just sit here feeling superior with reductive takes that are frankly biased by the powers that maintain the status quo. Unless of course your political program is “perfect” if so - enlighten me.

    Then they will wonder why stores never open back up and others will wonder why nothing changed. If you want to protest, sit on your ass at home and don’t spend money or go to work for a week.

        I don’t like this idea because you end up blocking emergency services and people in emergency situations. Essentially you would be killing someone indirectly.

      Tbh the amount of bystanders astounds me, like I cannot imagine being there, seeing that guy flying kick someone with their back turned and not immediately grabbing and pummeling him.

      This is coming from someone who doesnt think rioting as protest is wrong–but it’s really obvious why the videogame store is being looted/vandalized instead of things that actually matter.
