Heh, well watch the ' impact on the communities ravaged by the violence. I suspect we overestimate its lethality.
@Ox @djsumdog @death@husk.site

@djsumdog it becoming obvious the past couple of weeks that the powers that be welcome the chaos. Civil unrest presents a much easier issue for people to understand than something like an invisible virus. This provides for easy visual imagery to push the public to accept reactionary policies fueled by emotion. @death @Ox @realcaseyrollins
@sim I've often thought that Feminism is the importing of Toxic Masculinity to women, encouraging women to adopt all of the worst qualities of masculinity, while abandoning all of the best qualities of femininity.

Feminists value power, wrath, and domination, instead of respectability, leadership, and forthrightness. They confuse leadership with tyranny, they confuse being respected with being feared, and they confuse assertiveness with aggression.

Feminists in power also keep other women in their organization down, moreso than men: Queen Bee Syndrome.

Feminists devalue good feminine qualities like gentleness, compassion, and prudence, considering them to be some kind of weakness instilled by patriarchy.

Feminists have disdain for support/caretaker roles and motherhood.

Feminists don't want to end the oppression, they just want to become the oppressor. Thanks cultural marxism, I hate it.

@realcaseyrollins Pickup line: “Babe, Do you wanna watch the world burn”

If I had a gf I'd prolly be like "sup bae wanna come by my place tonight and watch some riots? I have popcorn too"

@djsumdog they just offered Trump a much easier path to a second term. People here have the attention span of a butterfly. Now that this shit is popping off most are already forgetting about the total failure of a pandemic response. @death @Ox @realcaseyrollins

@death @dude @Ox @realcaseyrollins I agree totally, and there were definitely elements that wanted this. This only leads to further authoritarianism. It's a platform for those on the fake right to show liberals/fake-left/blacks are all the hateful stereotypes they have been claiming. Rioting provides them the weapon for their enemies to stab them with.

@death just going off my experience at other protests, I'm near certain there's a ton of agent provocateurs in play. @Ox @djsumdog @realcaseyrollins
@death >Perhaps the Reichstag is burning.

The system, if not collapsing, is certainly about to undergo a major shift. From what I'm seeing so far, leadership at every level is breaking down. Stuff like the riots offer them a chance to offer some illusion of control. Let things get bad enough that enough people are willing to give up civil liberty for order like in the wake of 9/11 while shifting attention from the multiple failures taking place.

The kids in the street may think that they're winning but they're just pawns following the script. @realcaseyrollins @Ox @djsumdog

@realcaseyrollins violence begets violence. They will always be able to muster more people and firepower than the civilians. The youngsters pulling this shit may get away with it for a few days but the current behaviour will pull the public opinion to the side of who can end the chaos.

I get why the people took to the streets initially. I get that they're tired of not being herd. That said, the current behaviour must stop. They've become no better than those they oppose and at present a present a FAR greater (short term) threat to their community than the powers that be. @Ox @djsumdog

@dude
By beating citizens like they did yesterday, they are asking to be attacked in return.
@Ox @djsumdog

@Ox all they're doing at the moment is providing justification for an increasing escalation of force. Trump is already pushing DoD to support the National Guard and armed insurrection allows for the sole legal precedent to use the military against a domestic target. These people are naive suicidal idiots @realcaseyrollins @djsumdog
