Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

@MagpulPony  
What’s fueling the riots is people having fun stealing and destroying shit.  
For all his achievements, man is still capable of such depravity. Still driven by such cruel impulses.

@Angrybrony
 
“The CCP!” (If you’re republican) or “the Russians™️” (if you’re a Sorkinite liberal).
 
In all seriousness, it’s what Keltecpony said: because it’s fun, and because they feel they can get away with it. The protests I can understand given the circumstances, but breaking and stealing shit that more often than not is owned by people not much better off than themselves is kinda hard to justify in the current environment.

@Ereiam  
Citiations are needed for these claims, or you’re otherwise just pulling shit out of your ass like there’s no tomorrow. Also, slavery and greed/selfishness in general have existed and proliferated since the dawn of civilization, which dates back to millennia before capitalism itself even came into existence, so they don’t really count when judging capitalism all on its own as what it truly and actually is: an economic model, structure, and system.

@Background Pony #59C6  
not saying how what he was saying wasn’t true.

@Background Pony #59C6  
I already admitted to silbasa that, unlike the first one I posted, the other two were indeed lacking in sources. That was nearly three weeks ago. You sure are a sharp one, aint’cha?
 
Still, it doesn’t take anything from my point: capitalism is an economic model, structure, and system that, when unrestrained by regulations allowing for a sensible redistribution of the wealth among society, promotes greed and inequality like none other (because never since the dawn of civilization have those progressed at a faster pace than during the last forty years).

Trump has made an executive order banning the US government from doing business with all companies engaging in critical race theory. If you want to continue business with the government, no more far left craziness it seems.

@silbasa  
So in other words, another reason to vote this November. (For Americans, of course - you and I will just have to watch.)

@silbasa  
If this is true, then it may be one of the best things the Trump administration has done. If you buy a product or service, it should be for that product or service, not to be preached to about how “everything is racist/sexist/ismphobic/etc.”

Ha, The chick who tried to poison Trump was a fuckin leaf.

Yes stealing is sport because stealing replaces hunt. unnatural life in the city canceled hunting, so theft replaced hunting. a thief plays the role of predator, of hunter, experiences the same feelings when stealing as while hunting. He is a predator, he waits, and rejoices at his prey.

@Background Pony #AA09  
Well that’s certainly an… interesting take on it. You could perhaps write a book.

@Latecomer  
Exactly. Keep this nonsense down and out. Keep the crazy stuff out.

@silbasa  
Agreed - on everything but the minor detail of what the crazy stuff is.

@Latecomer  
Trump just banned it!

@silbasa  
Yes, that’s certainly your opinion.

@Latecomer  
Indeed it is. We had almost gotten rid of racism and then they make it obligatory “training”? Thats a nope from me.

@silbasa  
Whether it’s erased in the present or not (it isn’t), you can’t separate it from America’s past.

@silbasa  
Literally political correctness. Banning certain teachings for offending the government.

@Background Human
 
“A few weeks ago, I BANNED efforts to indoctrinate government employees with divisive and harmful sex and race-based ideologies. Today, I’ve expanded that ban to people and companies that do business……with our Country, the United States Military, Government Contractors, and Grantees. Americans should be taught to take PRIDE in our Great Country, and if you don’t, there’s nothing in it for you!”
 
Heres the post. Pretty straightforward.

@silbasa  
Right. No government contracts unless you adhere to Approved State Ideology.

@Background Human  
The opposite actually. They dont want to do business with the people that adhere to the ideology they consider divisive.

I will say that banning TikTok in the United States will never work because VPNs and APK files exists.

@silbasa  
Right. Sorry. No government contracts unless you renounce the counterrevolutionary ideology of Western imperialist dogs.

@Background Human  
Just be a normal rational human beeing and its all good. If they are one of the “everything is racist and heres why the world is evil” types, then no. Having a sensible attitude towards racism, absolutely. Going bonkers overboard and actually start mass manufacturing of them? Does that lead anywhere good?
