I'd be fine with burning down the government buildings and harassing politicians who're responsible for the problems. I don't see a point in destroying regular people's jobs or the places they're going to purchase the things they need. It's not going to get people on your side.
If normal people can't work because of government decisions, hey just go vote.
If normal people can't work because of a protest about government decisions, oh no let's stop all of this!
What is the government doing that's preventing people from working?
Have you been living under a rock sir?
Wrecking the economy
And looting and burning businesses in your community is going to fix that?
You're going to hate this answer, but yes. Believe it or not, countries hate when civil unrest starts to manifest as damage to GDP.
Would lighting up politicians offices and police stations not be a far quicker effect than waiting for damage done to uninvolved 3rd parties to trickle up?
yeah this meme is being intentionally dishonest. nobody is upset about a fucking fast food chain burning down.
I wouldn't call this meme wrong. It's definitely wrong but it's more revealing how much media controls the narrative.
People genuinely believe both that the riots were more violent than they were and that they were riots at all, because the media told them.
Most people's perspective of the US is through media, then they claim the same media is bullshit. Yet that's where they get their information from. It doesn't make sense.
If it was one of the 3 that are close enough to my job to get lunch I'd be a little pissed.
