My lib parents are all about “optics” and remaining peaceful. They also loved some news article of a protester in Kansas with a John Brown sign that just says abolish ice. Libs have zero analysis. They have zero critical understanding of history. How are you going to celebrate the invoking of John Brown, a guy who famously beheaded slavers in Kansas and whose last boldest violent campaign probably led to the civil war and the emancipation of the slaves… and also claim that’s no place for violence?
Success to lib protests is when cars drive by you standing on the sidewalk and honk in support.
The liberal doth protest too much, hmmmm could there be some insecurity about the democrat’s lack of popularity?
oh shit the protests were successful? umm that’s because we must have been organizing them. like sure maybe leftists went but they can’t have been organizing any or else it would have been an ineffectual riot with Fox News constantly decrying it and making supercuts of burning property. you know. because they didn’t do that this time 👉👈🥺
Effective = got some media attention and looked nice while doing it. Oh, you think protests are supposed to affect how the government acts? Yeah, ok buddy, keep dreaming.
I don’t know for sure because I didn’t follow the timeline of events that well but this is usually true: the LA protests probably would have had no property damage too if the pigs hadn’t attacked. LA pigs are some of the worst. Pigs hate seeing a bunch of anti racists standing together and are very likely to react violently.
no property damage, but didn’t some unarmed protester get shot by a “peacekeeper” at one of these for the crime of being near someone with a rifle the “peacekeeper” was shooting at? and there’s that other incident of the armed chud wandering into the crowd and menacing people brazenly his gun drawn, with no consequences?
liberals: property damage is bad, traumatizing and murdering people is NBD.
It was even worse than that. A leftist protestor and regular fixture at actually organising events was open carrying as they always did and was their legal right. Two ‘peacekeepers’ designated by the ‘protest’ organisers took it upon themselves to murder him in cold blood as he simply walked along the street, gun not raised, no intimidation etc (despite them lying about that until the video came out). He was hit and ran for his life and in their efforts to finish the job the ‘peacekeepers’ then shot another totally uninvolved protesting bystander. The organisers and ‘peacekeepers’ then conspired with the police to smear the victim of their attempted murder as a mass shooter and domestic terrorist, getting him slapped with a murder charge for the bystander they shot dead. They’ve only backed off this smear and attack narrative now that video has come out showing what actually happened. But orgnanisers are still refusing to acknowledge it, while protecting the identities of the ‘peacekeepers’, refusing to answer questions, and deleting or drowning out questions or criticism across their various online platforms.
I didn’t know there was a video.
They always make it so obvious that they value property damage over the lives of working class people, especially if they’re not white
We shot one of our protestors as a bystander while shooting and actively trying to murder another of ‘our’ protestors before working with the police to cover up the crime and smearing the victim as a “depraved and evil domestic terrorist” and a mass shooter, despite the video evidence to the contrary, but no one broke a bank window so… SUCCESS!
Libs will fucking murder you rather than see a bin set on fire and then pat themselves on the back.
DAE
?
You fool. You absolute maroon. Don’t you realize the cops leave you alone if you just stand there quietly waving the flag? Don’t you realize that the whole point of a protest is to make sure everyone understands you’re totally okay with the state?
Pretty much a
gathering.
These people are fucking morons. All successful protests have been disruptive. Did they not learn about Rosa Parks in school?
All they learned is that Rosa Parks was tired and sat on the bus, she got arrested. MLK had a speech in D.C, and racism was defeated.
Oh God, they’d be criticizing Rosa Parks if that had happened in this period
“Don’t argue, just go to the back of the bus and later tell people, and let everyone know how it made you feel; doing it the way you did you’ve upset everyone and now no one knows what you were trying to do”
The paradigm we are taught is that if oppressed people are “deserving” enough and suffer to a sufficient degree our kind-hearted overlords will change things and “make them right.” We are taught that liberation rests upon the goodness of our rulers and it is not up to us regular people to decide.
My favorite so far was a group of “protestors” chanting ‘Whose Streets-Our Streets’ while standing on the sidewalk. My new mental image of irony.
During the BLM protests under lockdown as we began to march in the streets we had to tell newer protestors to get in the actual street. It’s a funny irony but they did and it was cool. I think there is a natural inclination of most people not to cause a scene. Not to be very disruptive. Not to be too rebellious. And that’s okay. Most people want to live a fairly quite and productive life, honestly. Even when they are angry and fed up. That’s the job organizers, though. To show them that this is what we are doing and you should participate, too.
Another job of good leftist organizers is to lead some kind of confrontation with the police. I’m not saying violent, necessarily. Be antagonistic, though. It’s easy to get the cops to show their “us versus you” mentality. Get the libs to not just see it but to feel that. To realize the cops are against them, too. A major problem with liberals is that they think the police are their friends. It must be dispelled if anything positive will ever happen in this country.
There may not have been any property damage but what about the thousands of patting-yourself-on-the-back injuries that were sustained?
That’s no joke, patting yourself on the back can be fatal when you don’t have a spine.
