I suspect the militarized police with no training and the actual military who also have no de-escalation training might be a bigger influence here then some angry people online.
Well, peaceful protests are being met with abject violence against them. So it stands to reason that when the state makes peaceful protest impossible with the threat of bodily harm for engaging in it, violent resistance becomes inevitable.
Based, keep up the good work 👍
I'll reiterate a comment I made earlier today:
Peaceful protest is only a meaningful choice when violence is also a real option.
Otherwise you're just holding a pointless rally. Might as well show up with handcuffs on already.
Well of course. The far left isn't any better than the far right. It seems the bigger the far right becomes, the bigger the far left becomes.
Ah yes fellow liberal, this is our classic dilemma: do I support people who want to destroy the planet, create an ethnostate, take away all my personal liberties, and kill me and all my friends and family and colleagues, or do I support people who are more zealous than I am about changing society in the direction of the values I loudly claim to hold? /s
(It's not actually a dilemma because liberals always pick the far right.)
Right wing state police kidnapping people in broad daylight
« You know what’s the problem ? Leftist trying to protect people »
Who's talking about protecting people? The article talks about actively encouraging violence and murder, just for the sake of it.
Less the "far" left though. And just extremists being extremists regardless of economic leaning.
I’m sorry, are you lost sir? I believe you’ve stumbled into the enemy camp. /s
No not at all, but I see what you mean. I forgot that you're not allowed to discuss topics that do not conform the hivemind.
But I've kicked the bee's nest now, so I'm the liberal today. It's like when you're in school and you say that you wonder what it's like to kiss a boy and the rest of the week everyone calls you a faggot. Until some other dumb kid does something dumb and they forget about you.
I like to talk about the dark side, think about the dark side, find out what makes the dark side tick. I find comfort in the search for meaning. It's not productive but other than apathy, that's what helps me cope. That's not how this platform works though and sometimes I forget that I should not post in news communities.

See, this is what "both sides" actually looks like. Not being angry when democrats sell weapons they know will be used for genocide.
Well of course. The far left isn't any better than the far right.
Lol fuck off
The first "expert organization" they talk to in this article published a "research study" last year saying DEI policies cause workplace hostility, this is propaganda bullshit
Fucking ridiculous.
