Current Events > I feel like these riots are just the beginning of something brewing in America.

(+) Yeah! (+)

So many people unemployed, so much chaos and uncertainty in the country, so much injustice and people being fed up with the government and the police, the economic and class divides between the 1% and the 99%, tensions and divisions in the country the highest they've been in decades, if not ever.

I couldn't agree more.

They bouts ta eat the rich over there.

Unemployment, "the 1%," and the racial situation are entirely unrelated.

Kind of, not really.

Unemployment is all across the board but it factors in. They are all related when it comes to the tension that eventually broke out in riot.

Don't forget your leader, who's response is to imply shooting people

What? A bunch of civilians lining up to get their shit pushed in? Because thats whats going to happen if people push too far.

Not a good year for ol' Cheeto Boy. Yeah, his leadership stinks.

Ehhh depends. The military is made up of poor people and middle class people, things could go so many different ways. Nothing is absolute.

Directly no, but they do tie into each other. America's race & class systems are heavily intertwined thanks to America's history, & many of the people hardest hit by Corona aftermath are the low income, of which a lot are black, thanks to America's racist history.

If our civilization is destroyed, it will not be by barbarians from below. Our barbarians come from above.

No they're not. The wealthy help stir the racial situation to keep people divided, and with 40 something million people on unemployment, that's a recipe for disaster.

No, mods just have a soft spot for letting one side run amok.

The only thing brewing is 4 more years of Trump.

I feel we're getting into a different topic here but do you honestly feel that civilians with handguns would be an effective force against your military

Wasn't the whole armed militia thing written at the time of muskets and sabres and not in the time of drones and nukes

Democrats/liberals want this. Democrats/liberals are not leftists, and are not the people calling for revolt.

This has been a long time coming for america, tbh.

our military servicemen and women wouldnt aim at civilians if their cause was just.

and if you really think the government would order drone or nuke strikes youre absolutely delusional.

Not convinced about the first part, I'm starting to get the impression there's a side of the military and police that enjoy it

As for the second, I mean in your hypothetical scenario the people have revolted against an unjust tyrannical government, so the idea that they would drone strike civilians doesn't seem that farfetched

Your cheetoh in chief suggested shooting "thugs" today

imagine having the notion that our men and women who willingly sign up to protect the country would murder millions of civilians which many would be their friends and family.

Trump doesnt need to order the military to shoot civilians or have drone strikes. He has a literal army of insane fucking asshole gun nuts that will gladly take the task.

No lol. A very small segment of left leaning people want that, most leftists still support the 2nd amendment and even own guns themselves.

you understand that they are trained to be literal remorseless drones right

If there are people burning down the country from within and the military gets deployed and are told to make them stop, you best believe that they will have no issue doing so. Dont pretend like it hasnt happened before.

Because theyd be shooting minorities. Those people have a hierarchy of things they hate. And minorities are far more hated than the white nationalist government.

It's almost like the left and right both have multiple different types of ideologies. Moderates, conservatives, liberals, anarchists, fascists, statists, communists, etc etc

Nevermind all the shadowy shit our military is up to in Africa. For that matter, a lot of militaries are all up in Africa. Proxy operations against Chinese influence and shit. The Americans, French, Brits, etc all have a presence there and do a lot of shadow ops and stuff no one ever hears of.

You enlist for the army because you want to defend YOUR OWN COUNTRY. You dont join the US army because you want to defend John Johnson from the UK

Hopefully people will figure out what the truth really is eventually. Some of us already have. That's the real shame in all of this is there are some really good people who got to that point or weren't the problem in the first place, and still deal with utter nonsense all the time and people still aren't quite getting it.

Xenophobic nationalists are one of the fringe arms of the State. Notice how their protests were supported or at least, allowed, compared to these protests.
