The L.A. riots didn't send the president into his bunker.

This is going to be way more well known, and probably be the point of a lot of "Americans are idiots" arguments for at least the next decade from other countries.

People won't even remember the LA riots a century from now. But they will remember this and teach about it in history class

Hate to break it to you but this is hardly the reason why the world looks at Americans as idiots.

I know, I just meant expect to hear about this a lot in that context for the next decade minimum.

Again, this ain't changing the perception on what people already think. Drop in a bucket....make that drop in the ocean.

I would argue peak "lol Americans" happened when a literal reality TV host got elected as president.

also this, though i should note certain (earlier) riots of the 1960s will be pretty noteworthy historically, such as the post-mlk riots, the watts riots, and perhaps the detroit riots

The stuff happening now isn't really a 'Americans are idiots' moment anyway. It's something that has been boiling for decades. Similar to whenever we get another story of a mass shooting in the US. We all just wonder where do you go from there and the answer is usually disappointing.

Stuff like Trump and people protesting COVD lockdowns are much bigger examples of American idiocy.

Is it bigger? maybe in scope. But the LA Riots had 60-something deaths and 12k arrests in six days

The thing with the LA riots is that they werent after the beatings; just after the acquittal.

Imagine what happens if Chauvin gets off. Think the powder keg will legitimately go off if that happens.

Oh it absolutely is though.

A hundred thousand ish Americans dead, global pandemic still raging. Americans? Killing each other and destroying everything they own(supposedly over a police caused death but can we be honest that looters probably don't really give a shit?)

I actually doubt it. The Rodney King riots were completely cultural changing. Most people here may be too young to remember it well. But it completely redefined black culture at the time.

And that was still nothing on par with the Watts Riots.

Interesting. My coworker said the opposite and lived in California straight out of the military during Rodney King. Says that was nothing compared to this.

To be fair, the pandemic is probably a driving force, so a lot of this could be because of, and not in spite of, the pandemic.
