Well first off, define "BLM riot". How does one tell if it's a riot caused by BLM.... or if it's a riot that just happens to have a lot of black people in it?


Secondly the core message of BLM is "Black people are being killed by cops under suspicious circumstances, and at an alarming rate. We should look into that."


Where as this is just flatout hatred.


Now rioting is never justified. But there is a reason "both sides" has no place in this situation. There is no nuance, no gray area. This is literally because of a goddamned statue. A worthless piece of inanimate material. This isn't about human rights, this isn't about trying to make things better.

I don't hate anyone. I despise people for wrong actions, and I said from the start that rallies and protesrs of these types should not even be allowed to form in the first place. If you wanna practice whatever backwards ideology, religion, or whaever then go ahead. More power to you. Do it in your own homes and don't bring it in the face of the public.

No one cares if you think all cops should die, or that whites are all powerful, or that aborters are baby killers. These are protests and rallies with clearly malicious tones and should not be allowed to happen.

People worry so much about free speech and right to rally that they lost common sense on what clearly should not be a right. And, that is to make others feel unsafe or harassed by their actions.

Me and that member have agreed to squash that discussion, so I am not bringing it ti the forefront again. You can conclude I am whatever you want to me to be. You are not the type of person who I find much care in what they think of me. You have an agenda and those who don't fit into your agenda are people you put down. That's fair, but hardly makes you a person worth my care in what they think of me.

Sure. I see nothing wrong with Nazi impersonators having their ideology stomped out, but when people say the same things when BLM riots are happening, others in this topic are defending the riots and violent perpetrators instead of taking a same response on their own end.

Why is it one sided?

We had people literally defend violent actions in riots when it was their political side of the spectrum.

Presumably because a lot of us are factoring in the ideology itself (the ends) rather than just the means, and I'd wager most of us here on the left agree with the BLM ideology in at least a broad sense. Violent actions seem more reasonable when directed towards a good cause compared to just sheer racism. (Also, nobody was justifying the violence then either -- but there wasn't this level of condemnation.)

Like, you were making the argument that the Iraq War was justified, so clearly you've got no inherent issue with violence either.

It was absolutely justified. You can read the UN resolutions which clearly stated that course of action was expected for failure to follow their sanctions.

And, if you are a humanitarian and care about democratic values then also you should agree that it was necessary for those reasons since it involved a dictator who used chemical weapons against people who were considered his political enemies within the country.

No. I said simply things did not happen and you can go back and see they did not happen as being presented. That is simply telling you to work with facts instead of incorrect assertions of no merit.

You can call me whatever you want and say whatever you want to say I did. But, you can never reproduce it. Because it never happened.

If you can't remember arguments that charlotte riots were justified because african americans are working from desperation and that beating a white man on video and stealing his car keys was understandable from a cornered aspect of society, then by all means... go back to the topics regarding it. Not hard to ascertain the facts.

There is a difference between an explanation for why something is happening and justifying it. Corrik never seemed to understand that during those arguments.

While a Riot is taking place because supposedly racist cops killed an innocent black man is being "explained" to have happened from desperation. When it in fact turns out that a Black Cop killed a Black man who was refusing to comply to cops orders while in possession of a weapon of deadly force, a gun.

1. How are you explaining something you do not know the facts of? You aren't. You are justifying it as being okay because that is the political idealogy you choose to have.

2. Why was this being explained as proper discourse during the riot? Why wasn't the riot and violent perpetrators being condemned as wrongful and such instead of that course of action? Why were some in this topic not taking the course of action they said we should be taking today?

I from the very onset of today upon reading this have condemned the rally and said it should have not been allowed to happen. I have said how it is embarassing. And, how ALL rallies, protests, and riots of this sort should not be allowed and put down when they occur.

3. You don't explain something without proper facts and analysis. Explaining something you do not have the facts to is just you using conjecture and assumptions to make the argument you want. That is not an explanation. That is trying to justify something in the way you wish to make sense of it from your viewpoint.

When ulti went silent I assumed he was suspended.

But when I went back to his status it said legend. His suspension must have just happened.

That said, he deserved it. His comments are offensive and really had no place. He is someone I really cannot stand because he makes conservatives look bad and I think he does it just because he is on the internet and has relatively anonymity / distance from who he is speaking to.

Agreed, I agree with his point number 2 also. I just didn't want to facilitate further argument when the discussion contains Nazis.

However seeing as it's happening regardless I'd like to point out the people using this to further hatred against "white, cis, males" and the entirety of the right, are equally fascist. Stop fucking stereotyping and making bigoted comments, two wrongs don't make a right, condemn fascists and Nazis. End of.

When it in fact turns out that a Black Cop killed a Black man who was refusing to comply to cops orders while in possession of a weapon of deadly force, a gun.


Personally I would say that's more of a result of the actions of the police. They show a man, left him dead on the ground for an extended period of time, then basically clammed up when people wanted to know what happened. It's the lack of transparency that was the boiling of that pot.


It's true that people often comment on things they don't have all the facts of. That doesn't mean someone is trying to justify anything. It doesn't necessarily have to be politically motivated either. Incidentally? The utter silence form the police is what causes shit like that to happen. When you refuse to say anything, when you leave everyone in the dark, people are going to start making their own conclusions.


It's like if your girl is mad at you, and you ask her why. She responds "Why do you think I'm mad?" and refuses to explain herself further. You're naturally going to make your educated guess on what info you have.

People were trying to explain the whole concept of why people riot in general to you. The fact that you think it was a result of that one specific incident shows how little you took away from that discussion.

But more to the point...


1. Are you suggesting that one cannot speak of a subject unless they know absolutely everything about it? Because we technically shouldn't be talking about anything in these topics. Because there's always going to be a small bit of info we don't have. I mean, none of us are personally at these riots right?

2. "Proper discourse"? I'm not sure about that. Understanding why something happens isn't justifying why something happens. Why were "some" in this topic not taking the course of action? Because people aren't a hivemind. Because the situation you're talking about isn't the same as the situation that's going on right now?

Additionally... I'm not seeing what the overall point is. Seems dangerously close to changing the subject.


3. No but seriously, I feel like you're trying to shift the conversation to something that's currently irrelevant. What are you trying to say exactly?

That's certainly what I'm seeing on my feeds, which I'm happy about. The problem is the hatred infused push back targeting and painting people in a bigoted fashion. It creates a feedback loop of hate.

The only people we need to hate are the ones marching and acting in hatred. I hate to go all hippy on this, but marginalising and gross accusations have never helped anyone. It let's people who are truly bigoted slip through the cracks, gives credence to their beliefs (illegitimately of course but emotions run high and common sense disappears), if your priority is improving life for all it should be via the same rules, not hatred.

It's starting to seem like it's all we fucking know.
