Oh so BLM didn't happen huh?

In some cities people literally set fucking buildings on fire, and guess what? It didn't change shit. Mindless fires, looting, and destruction of property doesn't mean you'll magically get the government to care. It gets all the local mom-and-pops to close and the grocery stores to leave, giving you mothing but a food desert.

I'm so fucking tired of all the EU people on Lemmy making fun of people for at least getting out there and showing others we should care. Senless violence will not solve all of our issues. Someone could shoot Trump tomorrow and sure, maybe we'd get Civil War (so fun am I right!), but that doesn't mean his chain of succession won't exist. Are we going to kill the entire fucking cabinet then?

Also isn't the UK struggling with Isreal protest arrest right now? Where's their mass violence and fires? Why don't we care about them?

I'm getting fucking tired of coming onto this site to see endless outsiders eagerly jeering at us to risk our lives in a random blaze of glory that will lead nowhere without a true guide and rebellion. The gun fetishsts are not the ones who hate Trump. They fucking love him. Us normal people hate the idea of touching them. The only people willing to do a suicide mission are those who have nothing to lose, and most people aren't there. Go be Luigi, and watch how you either die or get stuck in jail limbo for decades. What did shooting the CEO change? Absolutely nothing. Our healthcare system still sucks, because this isn't a violence problem, it's a legislation issue.

Should we make fun of HK protesters for being peacful? Iran got a dictator blown to bits and is still going to be in hell.

I genuinely will be curious to see how all of these armchair rebels react if there's ever a case of mass government corruption in their country in a decade or so. I don't want for anyone to be in a situation like this, but we'll see if you keep that same attitude up when it's your lives on the line.
