Yes, I remember when the Americans fought off the Brits by burning down their own cities and looting their own stores.

Anyway, if you want to keep up with things, I'm aware of 4 different megathreads. Spacebattles, Kiwifarms, ResetEra, and RPG Codex. The Spacebattles thread is heavily moderated and I believe leans pro-protest. ResetEra is extremely heavily moderated and pro-protest. Kiwifarms is lightly moderated and anti-protest. RPG Codex is basically unmoderated and most people there seem to be of the opinion that all protesters should be killed.

EDIT: Oh yeah, the ones that are most diligent in gathering and archiving information before it gets deleted are on Kiwi Farms. Their megathread currently sits at 22,900 posts

This generally takes place in big cities though, right?

As far as I recall, there have been attempts to move into the suburbs a few times. Don't know how successful it's been. It's kinda hard to keep up and remember since every time I go away for a little bit megathreads have a hundred new pages.

Been following a few megathreads. Homes and apartments have been looted and burned.

I see the pro-rioters here have gone straight from "Lives are more important than material goods" to "lol you didn't care about deaths before, why care now?" and "#NotAll".

Well I guess no one should protest if the world doesn't become a utopia within a day.

Burning down the city you live in sure is a creative way to improve your situation.

Lots of people having regrets right now.

Bullshit. Both cities that I've called my home Houston and Atlanta are on fire.

Hope you're staying safe.

It raises awareness, sure. But does it raise support? I genuinely don't know. Raising awareness isn't great if it turns more people against you than it brings in.

I was very much implying that it's counterproductive to your goals.

And historically peaceful protest is a great way to raise awareness and build these grassroots. Rioting, not so much.

It does help raise awareness, though. I am seeing shitloads of people pointing out things they only noticed thanks to these riots. Things like the fact that the blue states are currently on fire whereas the red states are not.

None of the positive ways to resolve these social problems that have been attempted before now have worked. Their hands have been forced.

As a spectator watching this from the safety of another continent, the funniest part of all this is how many of you think this will change things for the better rather than the complete opposite.

Have fun living in burnt down cities with no businesses.

They're setting fire to apartment buildings with people in them now. Wonder how many corpses are gonna get pulled out of the wrecks at the end of this.

Try to catch the faces of the ones setting fire to buildings.

Ah so Minneapolis can just go back to normal now right

Comparing this to similar events in the past, it should take between 20-40 years for the city to recover.

tl;dw, h3 blames Keemstar for Etika's suicide, Etika's family themselves say Keem had nothing to do with it, and now they're being harassed by h3's fans.

How's your Japanese studying going after all this time TC?

Very well. At least when it comes to reading. Working my way through Fate/stay night now and it's pretty comfortable. I can read reasonably fast now.

I'm fucking crying!

If you want to cut down jungles it means you hate the environment.

Most of that money is gonna go to the Yakuza.

Probably worth reading just for the ending alone, honestly.

Musashi. Apparently these guys wrote a lot of the music for the original Naruto anime.

This shit's awesome.

AirVPN. It's worked pretty well, though sometimes streaming HD 60fps content causes the CPU to rise really high.

Steven Universe is the fandom that drove an artist to suicide for drawing a character thin.

One of them, but not alone. Downtown is just as, or more responsible for them.

Aren't the Downtown guys like 20 years younger than Shimura?

This guy is basically the reason all those funny Japanese game show clips that are on youtube exist.

Is there another note next to that one?

It's honestly shocking how many people bought this "masks don't work" BS.

Reminds me of this chain of Chris Benoit jokes that started in a D&D campaign.
