same with cuba, and haiti, and russia

that's why they overthrew the government by holding hands and singing songs

What does destroying and looting a Target store have to do with protesting against cops?

Remember how Russians were all like, "We don't want to be brutally oppressed by you anymore" and then the Tsar was all like, "Oh, wow, hey, my bad guys, I'll just abdicate peacefully then", and everything was great until the Bolsheviks got all violent randomly for no reason?

It's the revolution for the people who don't want to actually die in a bloody revolution

After the Tea Partiers destroyed the British's tea they then burned down their local shoe cobbler and blacksmith and stole all the 4k tvs. To fight oppression. That's history.

And then the Germans were off to the side going, "I can't believe they fell for it."

I think people are mistaking war and tageted revolution, for acts of violence against a store called Target.

I'm no history buff, but I would think battles against important targets meant to achieve goals had more to do with historical wins using violence than random acts of violence against the citizenry.

Or maybe I'm wrong. How has a cycle of violence brought peace to Israel? Did acts of violence legitimize the Taliban or the IRA? Did the Rodney King riots achieve anything long term since we're dealing with the same shit today?

I mean, the left are supposedly full of smart people. Why is their solution falling into "break things until I get my way"?

It isn't. They actually burned down an affordable housing unit and people in this topic are clapping. The left is full of morons who want senseless violence and destruction.
