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.

    Communism gives you a 10 year wait for a car lol. And that's only if the authoritarian government in charge deems you worthy of it and you didn't do anything that might offend them. Just look at the DDR (former eastern germany). Communism there worked well. NOT.

    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.

    Wtf no?? I'm not condemning the peaceful protestors, I am only condemning those who riot and loot; those people have no interest whatsoever in the actual cause. They use those protests solely as a pretence for looting.

    Jesus Christ, the extrapolation y'all guys on Lemmy do is really its very own form of insanity. Y'all really can only think in black and whites, as in two polar opposites where no middleground exists.

    Literal terrorists. But people here on Lemmy still see those looters and rioters as heroes. Absolutely beyond me. They destroy public and private properties of normal people and yet people here on Lemmy celebrate those deeds. Absolutely revolting. Wonder whether y'all still would be cheering if it were ur store or car or whatever that got destroyed by those "protestors". No mercy against those lawless rioters.

    This might be, but I believe u often have no choice. Either accept the terms or u don't get the house. And with the housing market being absolutely shitty, I believe many people have no choice but to accept those terms, cos the alternative would mean getting no home at all.

    If this leads to more companies accepting Linux as a Desktop OS for their employees, I think this is actually a good move. Helps Linux to become more widespread, and maybe even non-IT people will get to know it better. This in turn could lead to more people using Linux in their private lives as well.
