Wtf no?? I'm not condemning the peaceful protestors, I am only condemning those who riot and loot;

were US weekends and 8 hour work days achieved by peaceful protestors?

    Were US weekends and 8 hour work days achieved by arbitrarily destroying public and private property and lootings like the world is about go down?

    Seriously the lack of condemnation of the haphazard violence and destruction here on Lemmy is utterly appalling.

    This got serious "but do you condemn Hamas?" vibes. Do we have to pledge allegiance to old decrepit buildings before we try to change society? The people killed by the police, the state, and the capitalists are rarely talked about but a fucking building has more value for some apparently.

    It's not just one buildung; it's stores, cars from ordinary citizens, public infrastructure like bus stations, etc. Do y'all really think this is necessary and good and helps the actual cause? Cos it LITERALLY does the opposite. Who tf do y'all think has to pay for reconstruction of all the public infrastructure? Exactly, the taxpayers. Money that could actually be used to address the original problems.

    Bloody hell y'all are lost af. So if the rioters would destroy your car/house/whatever you would still say "nice, that helps the cause, I like sacrificing my private property and possessions I worked hard for for no fckn reason".

    I literally can't understand how y'all can approve this haphazard violence and destruction.

    I kinda could understand it if the rich were affected by those riots, like if their private yachts/planes/mansions where the target, but they are not. So literally the only people who are suffering are the ordinary citizens.

    could, but most definitely wouldn't. Because they don't actually care. these protests are about frightening the ruling class, to make them feel they might loose more than a fancy building if they don't start rapidly fixing the world they let to crumble.

    Bloody hell y'all are lost af. So if the rioters would destroy your car/house/whatever you would still say "nice, that helps the cause, I like sacrificing my private property and possessions I worked hard for for no fckn reason".

    of course not. where did we say that? private property of common people should not be destroyed. I think it's you who is lost af if you think we are advocating for this too.

    Nice straw man. Nobody is saying the destruction is good. However regressive conservatives only focus on the destruction. Réacs' like you don't seem to find the death and maiming by the police worse than destruction of inanimate objects. You're showing your true colors.

    How's the boot? Do you like the taste of blood from protestors?
