While the President complains that twitter is stifling free speech for putting a disclaimer on his tweets the Minn. state police arrest reporters on live television while his supporters, on twitter, echo the presidents statements that the free press are the enemy of the people.

We deserve this I guess.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

This is a pretty decent set of answers to "rioting never solved anything": https://soletstalkabout.com/2020/05/28/how-to-respond-to-riots-never-solve-anything


the article posted:

1) “Rioting never solves anything!”
This country was founded on rioting (and looting). The colonists didn’t politely ask to be independent — they started a war. Gays threw a brick. Black people rioted all over this country. Please let go of that falsehood and pick up a history book.

2) “Rioting just gives people a reason not to support your cause.”
Only if you equate property damage to human lives, and in that case, were you really supporting our cause anyway? If all it takes is people stealing from Target for you to say “well…now I don’t care about dead Black people” then why are we even speaking?
...
6) “There are better ways…”
Keep working on those better ways. Don’t let the riots stop you. Fight for criminal justice reform, fight for income inequality, fight for universal healthcare, fight for free education, fight for higher taxes on the 1% — fight for all those things that would make rioting less likely. And while you’re fighting the long, slow war toward Black people having a fair shot in this country, the same war we’ve been fighting for hundreds of years, there will be times when some people directly affected by the war see your actions as futile and they just wanna break some stuff. Clutch your pearls less and speed up the war if you’re so offended by property damage.

And my favorite (and I have NO idea if it's true)

the article posted:

5) “Attacking an elderly disabled woman is a step too far!”
That woman is 30, she can walk just fine, and she went to Target armed with a knife to stab Black people. That’s why WHITE PEOPLE unloaded a fire extinguiser at her — because she was a violent maniac. On one side, people stole stuff from a big box retailer. On the other, someone STABBED PEOPLE UNPROVOKED, and yet your concern is whether anybody successfully stole a TV?


Edit: added one more with emphasis.

Was this a George Soros- planned operation? Are we sure somebody actually died? Was this a real police officer or were these crisis actors playing a role to ignite racial violence in order to change the narrative from cv and crashing economy which were not panning out?More fear?

I don't even know why I am surprised.

im permabanned poster democratstomper58. i first started reading Twitter when i was about 62. by 64 i got really obsessed with the concept of “MAGA” and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like “Lying Crooked Hillary’s emails” and “Democrat deep state plot” in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically frontotemporal dementia and narcissistic personality disorder. im now on hyrdroxychloroquine. i always wondered what the kind of “ironic” style of Twitter humor was all about; i think it’s the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who “get” Twitter to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.

Problems look mighty small from 150 miles up.

It feels like there's way more 'mainstream' support for the current protests than what ended up happening at Ferguson. I'm hoping it means the years of effort are finally starting to pay off and it's not just a temporary thing.

You cannot watch George Floyd get tortured to death for ten minutes by a cop who looked casual while doing it, with other cops standing by while he casually loving tortured a man to death who was begging for his life on video with witnesses, and justify it.

There is no ability to deny that this was anything but torture and murder. No plausible deniability or reasonable doubt can he conjured up this time. It’s loving impossible.

You want to go a long way to fixing things? Have the state give that guy the death penalty. I don’t think MN has a death penalty and I’m usually very against it.

But gently caress that guy. Don’t give him the needle. Go medieval and toss him in a deep pool with cinderblock feet. You could do that and he STILL won’t suffer as much as George Floyd did.

I will never, ever in my life, get the images and sounds of that video out of my head.
