United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

[Arch Dornan]

Turns out when the Democrats were bending over with cultural appropriation of African scarves they actually were appropriating an African tribal empire the Ashanti who made their business in slavery.

They deserve this reaction.

You need a skilled person and right equipment to make salami. I seriously doubt they have either. Also milking cow by hand is not easy, I doubt limpwristed suburban brats can do it. Cow needs food, do they have hay or grass there? Cows also shit a lot, we joke that they are planting farmers' landmines, makes for an interesting game of rugby.

I was exaggerating when I said salami.

But I get your post. They're pampered larpers who are unprepared to survive.

When you are so oppressed people who oppose you risk losing their livelihood

Man, fuck Daniel Ryan, I hope that asshole loses his job to the same mob.
"fReEdOm Of SpEeCh Is NoT fReEdOm FrOm CoNsEqUeNcEs!!1!"

the reddit lefties are already crying about their new king.

I'm just waiting for the first purges where he starts executing dissenters. That'd give the cops an excuse to march in and put an end to the madness. Or they will stand aside and let the anitfa-goons enjoy the fruits of their hard labor, a hard wall in their backs and a bullet in their frontal lobe.

So, some officers of the San Jose PD appear to have seriously fucked up:

Did his balls explode? Is he sterilized now? "I'm sorry, captain, but he held the barrel at his crotch and pulled the trigger 40 times!"

Oh, the demorats absolutely knew the symbolism behind these scarves, they were hoping no one notices.
Remember, in every democrat-politican hides a butthurt plantage-owner who wants black americans to pick their cotton.

Yes, Jefferson had a relationship with a slave and had children with her, but we are unsure what the exact nature of this relationship as neither is around to talk so using it as a cudgel against him isn't entirely a fair thing to do and yes he didn't free his slave children while he was alive, but we aren't sure of his reasoning behind that decision either.

IIRC, this is not actually true. A Jefferson had children with a slave, but it was not Thomas Jefferson. The popularization of this idea was just an attack on Jefferson from decades ago, popularized in media and with a TV show.

Further, it wasn't just political suicide for many of the Founding Fathers to free their slaves, it was flat out illegal. It was something the law in various states forbade outright. In Virginia, IIRC, they managed to get a loophole in to free some slaves upon the death of the owner, if it was put in the will, which George Washington and others did, but even that was not possible in all states.

In their writings, many of the Founding Fathers made it clear that they expected to manage to eliminate slavery within the next fifty years through sheer economic pressure, it wasn't profitable or competitive. The reason the Cotton Gin is so important historically, is because it made slavery much more profitable than it had been. And ironically enough, there was widespread patent fraud by southern plantation owners and the like, who would have blacks working the machines in windowless buildings, and because blacks couldn't testify in court, proof of infringement couldn't be had. Eli Whitney moved to the North and was successful there; the South drove him (and other innovators) out with their moral perfidy.


Also, in regards to people being worried about his escalating into a full-up civil war:

Remember that the CHAZ is happening in what is already an overwhelmingly leftist-dominated city. The overwhelming majority of the riots have been taking place in leftist-dominated cities. If this shit starts spreading through conservative areas, then I would start being worried.

There IS no such thing as "left" or "right" cities. It's all America. And yeah, you should be really concerned, if you think the left is "contained" to specific geographic areas you're going to get a wake up call one of these days, and it's going to happen soon.

Mate you're in a race war. Why do you think they give a shit? They white, so they bad, so theys gottsa go!

In fairness, a lot of right leaning folks are coming to that conclusion. That yeah, its fundamentally about hate of white people and the desire for their subjugation or extermination. And I don't need some rando Neo Nazi blog or Stormfront to tell me that-simply watching the videos, and reading the organizer's statements is enough.

What does make a Civil War then; what prerequisites have to be met before we can consider ourselves in one?

You would need the Silent Majority because I know people are not gonna want to hear this. Liberals and Conservatives are not the majority in this country. The bulk of the population is firmly in the middle. Data has proven that over and over again. And the Silent Majority does not want a Civil War.

Slavery was also stupid shit happening in Blue States, though.

Um some of the Union States had Slavery too. Points at Maryland.

His testicle ruptured and there's a chance the damage has made him sterile.

Edit: Why are other posters laughing at this?

The majority of the country doesn't want their relatively quiet and peaceful lives to be disrupted. They don't want to have to flee and be internally displaced. They don't want to starve, or be under siege, they don't want themselves or their children to be sniping with AK-47 rifles in blasted out buildings or be targets for VBIEDS.

Which means they will tolerate a great deal simply for the sake of stability.

 

[MelancholicMechanicus]

Yeah, Antifa has no hope in hell of making this into a Civil war. They have no supply lines, no support, no battle plans... Nothing, Push comes to shove and the absolute worst of the worst case scenario passes here you are looking at maybe a few hundred city blocks worth of seceding territory with about 1 to 2 thousand people. There are Cartels in Mexico that would last longer against the USA than them.

 

[Deleted member 88]

The issue here is that Antifa has the backing of the media, the Dem party, academia, and so on.

Who will pretty much cover for anything they do. Including armed rebellion.

Trump will be treated as a tyrant who slaughtered the poor innocent peaceful protesters who just want racial justice and equality. They will blare this propaganda 24/7 and the ugly reality of what suppressing rebellions looks like will upset a great many swing voters-who will buy what the media tells them.

You're thinking in yesterday's terminology and worldview. Today's civil war would not look like the first one. Conquering territory is completely irrelevant. The battlefield is control over institutions (the leftists already have a huge advantage), the government apparatus etc. A leftist victory would not look like a military conquest, more like a coup, or like Hitler's rise to power.

 

[Deleted member 88]

Actual civil war will resemble what we see in the ME.

Heavy urban fighting, pockets that hold out for years, fierce fighting for control of major highways and junctures, combined with loads of terrorism and the like.

...If you don't think there are different areas with different political ideologies more or less dominant, I'd like to know what exactly it is that you're smoking.

That's not a civil war. That's what we refer to as 'the culture war.'

The Silent Majority never wanted a second World War either, but they got one anyways; because their desires are irrelevant when those who have the power are making decisions. The sad fact of the matter is, conflict is caused by the Loud Minority, while the bulk of the cost for said conflict is left for the Silent Majority to pay.

That said, I agree with GoldRanger; this conflict isn't a "boots on the ground" traditional war. It's a cultural Civil War, where the battlegrounds are institutions of our society, and the worst of the violence will look more like riots and gang wars. What we are looking at, I think, is the beginning of something that, if we lose, may one day be compared to the rise of the Nazis to power in Germany, or the Communists in Russia.

This is my fear too. So many people expect a civil war to look like our first one, or like Syria. I think that is a miscalculation.

The Left are (for the most part) more intelligent than to try to win with force of arms. They have the media and academia to win the culture war for them.

If conservatives really want to level the playing field, they need to get with the new paradigm, and stop thinking being prep'd to fight in the fields will matter. By the time you are fighting in the fields, the war will already probably be lost, because the only way that has happened is if conservatives have lost control of every lever of power except armed resistance.

 

[Deleted member 88]

The issue here is that we have neither the time nor resources to build some parallel media and academic infrastructure. And what we do have for the former, is at best preaching to an audience that agrees with us. That's it.

The left knows the institutions are with them(in fact they are dominated by left-liberals or outright leftists).

So what do we have left except mostly defensive action?
