I wonder... if I were to go to one of those protests/riots with a sign that just said "I'm tired of violence" how would I be perceived?
The message can easily be interpreted both as one against the rioting and violence that these protests spark, and we know that if you bad mouth the violence you'll suddenly be seen as anti-protests and pro-cops, and we know how that ends up. But the message can also be interpreted as being against the initial violence that supposedly sparked the current manifestations (ie death of Floyd).
So the question is, how would a rioting mob interpret it?
@mewmew
>protesters are against violence
On paper. In reality I've rarely seen them practice what they preach. Especially such high tension ones.
@mewmew
They all have a political message. They just not always chant it. Sometimes they advocate for anarchy via a brick to the window.
@mewmew
I can agree that looters aren't political for most part. But I haven't mentioned looters till now.
Anarchy is always something being advocated for in these riots. And people advocate for anarchy by creating anarchy and chaos. Don't ignore it.
i suspect it would end badly.
let those who will, object

@alyx have you ever seen revolution without blood? people seem to forget quickly police dont have brain they take orders from government. This is war of government against their own people. This is what governments do. You stop it only by removing government. preferably not forming it ever again.
@akeno
1) Too bad anarchy doesn't work as a political system.
2) What war? To have a war you need 2 opposing forces fighting. Neither the police or the government in general have yet to actually put up a fight. It's just been rioters destroying private and public property.
3) Revolution is the most retarded idea. Revolution won't solve shit right now. It can only create more animosity and division.
@alyx Are you blind police killing and harming citizens? no matter race now ?"Citizens!"
@coolboymew @akeno
"Don't you see, rioting is a holly war against the government!" /sarcasm
Lets play out the Anarchist's fantasy
>America has a revolution
>Military allows it to happen
>One of the strongest powers in the world is now a broken mess of small factions trying to scrounge up basic resources to survive
>China invades
>Anarchists are now either dead or speaking Mandarin
Anarchy not even once.
@akeno @alyx
>why would they invade?
More land, resources, the opportunity to ensure that one of their major political rivals never comes to power again and many more countless reasons.
You show a major lack of understanding of just how important America is to keeping world peace. I shudder at the thought of the damage the power vacuum would cause.

There's only so much you will ever be able to do to protect your rights yourself. There will always still be moments when you need things like an impartial justice system to handle disputes. To some degree you can protect your property, but who will you trust to rightfully divide that property if you ever get a divorce for example.
@alyx @colonelj @Jack @adrint Nonsense. would you read on anarchy already please? But to simplify Anarchy = LAW and freedom without force.
State = law and freedom with force
Force= no law, no freedom. Put things together. you must be rich if you like gov so much. So here we go again: "Until it happens to you" ....I hope soon.
LOL there is no such thing as anarcho-anything. Only anarchy.Otherwise you could come up even with anarcho-fascism
Anarchists live in fantasy land. They believe that everyone will hold hands and sing songs together choosing to ignore the fact that not everyone wants to live the way they do.
Anarchy as its core is might makes right. So I hope all the soyboys enjoy being slaves while they watch their female friends and family members getting raped.

Good way to put it. I usually call it an idealistic political ideology. It's very beautiful and interesting when you put it down on paper, taking in consideration only perfect parameters. But humans are highly imperfect and flawed, and we just don't fit in with that perfectly laid down plan for anarchy. Or communism. Or fascism. Or nazism. Or any number of other idealistic political systems.
