@Adam_Cadmon1 I watched Black Lives Matter "peaceful protestors" set cars on fire, break the windows out of stores, steal tons of shit and cause actual real terrorism on the streets of Chicago right outside my building. The terrorism continued the entire weekend. I drove out to a Taco Bell and saw all the windows broken out and boxes scattered all over the streets from every store that had been looted. One owners was on the news, a Korean American who said $300k worth of merch had been stolen. None of these businesses had insurance that covered riots (riot insurance is insanely expensive). I had to get through police checkpoints on the way home and there had been several carjackings in the area. City dump trucks were blocking/protecting a Burger King ... interesting to see which businesses Lightfoot chose to protect and which ones were left to burn.

I wrote this article after it happened, documenting some of the riots and my opinions at the time:

It's not "bullshit," it's what I saw with my own fucking eyes.

Seems pretty clear to me, want to place limits on it, get support for a new amendment.

Fedi advice

I had a guy tell me, he had been trying to argue in a good faith for days in his thread.

The thread had 2 posts.
And after he blocked me, I tried to open his post from a different instance. HOLY SHIT.

If you want people to see your posts, MAYBE, don't block 95 percent of them, because if the instance actually respects the block, guess what? It breaks the threads into oblivion.

WTF is this hellthread?

@ChristiJunior @doctorsex @blacklight
Nothing tells me more about the current state of the US politics as the pride that lefties have when proclaiming their willingness to attack the other side.

And then, the absolute shock, when the response is ""ok, guess it's a war then""

Also, we've grown up in a world of "industrial scale" solutions.

We don't grow food, we plan automated farms etc. Literally 99 percent of things you can do, you can do on an industrial scale. If you vote, you change 1 ballot. If you go stream, you can change millions.

So, we no longer see the use of small solutions. But building a healthy family is a personal process. That is something we no longer understand.

It's like a poetry
@blacklight
Of course, even the original post called for > "Showing zero tolerance towards the intolerant and the illiberal is a civic duty for any democracy that wants to protect its health."

So.... yeah.

@blacklight
And yes, that was your argument. That was your only argument. That you don't see the people TV told you to hate as human.

And you are too stupid to understand, that people you're ready to attack will have to defend themselves. Because you never gave them a choice nigger.

@blacklight
Ok civil person.
Well, since the nazis in here don't threaten me, guess who I will have to support now just out of self interest?

Congratulations, you just made the rise of nazism inevitable.

@beardalaxy
Sure.
But what I wrote above still applies.
Also> an atheist....

@beardalaxy
Yeah, that pissed me off about all of charity.

There are people who earn money while pretending to help people like me, and if I wanted to help anyone, it would still go in better case to someone's mansion, and in the worse case to a political action.

I don't care what amount you want to donate, make sure to donate it directly to people who need it.

Remember to not give money to random churches today because the people who run them and profit off of you probably suck.

@blacklight
And obviously, thanks for proving me right.

You cannot say that a being capable of writing that post can live in a democracy. You are just not capable of accepting a "live and let live" needed for a civilized society to survive.

I just hope, that one day, you get to live in a group as tolerant as you are.

@blacklight
Nah, you didn't try to do any of that. You just dish out threats and insults while pretending to be moral.

But you're a leftie. I wouldn't expect self-reflection from any of you. You seem to be incapable of that. :D

> die out of the most painful death conceivable in this world. You and anyone who ever bothered to love a piece of shit like you.

Now, this one goes to my "civilized lefties" collection.
