True. Look at the Floyd riots. The people who claimed to care about small businesses seemed to cheer on all the destruction. I remember arguing with someone and asking them what they would say to the people out of a job or when business move out due to rioting thugs being cheered on. I guess they don’t care about the law abiding
I have a few friends in the Minneapolis area. Living behind enemy lines, so to speak. They told me that the progressives they knew were 100% on board with the riots as “they voiceless” finally “speaking out”. Some of them referred to the riots as an “uprising for racial justice”.
Then, when the riots clearly started testing negative with independent voters, the governor of Minnesota claimed that time violence and destruction was being done by saboteurs, implying that secret right wing agents were the cause. And just like that, the progressives had downloaded their new program. Suddenly the very bad riots were the work of evil alt-righters.
This switch happened literally overnight. Black people burning and looting stuff on Wednesday = good. White conservatives burning stuff on Thursday = bad. It’s all “friend versus foe” for leftists. They have no fixed principles or morals. Everything is relative. Everything is will to power. No wonder they despise the constitutional republic.
I remember the media pushing the idea that the people causing damage were saboteurs. I remember seeing a black retired firefighter who had saved up because he wanted to run his own sports bar and that got destroyed. Media didn’t cover it. But while I love my country that was such an embarrassing time to be an American. Savages destroying things being propped up as heroes. Also I asked a few people what they couldn’t do because they were black and the answer was always something about systems of oppression. I said if you can’t give me anything concrete then you have nothing. They got mad at me and even angrier when I suggested they read Sowell
Seeing as they treated as both political posturing and control along with some kind of messed up sports mentality it would be hard to convince them of anything.
Disgusting. New idea for a tv show. White leftists are sentenced to live in inner cities while we sit back and watch

Cruel and unusual punishment.
