Riots, looting, vandalism, etc.

Maybe the Retard Brigade could stop attacking the police, then the police wouldn't be forced to use gas.

Yeah, if these “retards” would stop fighting for freedom, the would be no need to oppress them so violently! :rolleyes:

Seattle took action to reduce their police forces, and committed to meeting the demands of many protesters.

The protests kept going though. I'm not sure there's a way to quell the social unrest. I think there are parties (not necessarily abroad) who have an interest in continuing the unrest.

Same thing with Portland - even when the police did withdraw and cease hostilities, the violence continued. It's still continuing. It's arguably getting worse.

Yup the police stood down and let their allies the Proud boys attack the protesters for a while. It let them have a rest I suppose.

Not necessary. Doesn't marxist philosophy essentially require a revolution to be put in place?

That became one of the most contentious divisions. To go for the rising up of workers and agrarian masses or to first institute the "dictatorship of the proletariat" to create the conditions for a social transformation (because the masses are too stupid to realize what's best for them).

Nice strawman. Russia fans the flames of existing divides in America: They have fronted facebook groups that are pro-gun and anti-gun, pro-immigration and anti-immigration, pro Black Lives Matter and pro Blue Lives Matter. They don't have an ideology to push, only to stir the hornet's nest and to poke the bear. The material in Mueller's report isn't "conspiracy theory"

Cool. Now do the part where Ziggurat alleged that China was involved in George Floyd’s murder.

No, of course not. But it would be incredibly easy for a foreign actor to exploit that event by amplifying and multiplying an underlying weakness of the US.

As a way oversimplified analogy, imagine two middle-schoolers having an argument. The argument itself is an independent event. But the braying of "fight! fight! fight!" from uninvolved bystanders moves that argument well beyond disagreement and into the realm of physical confrontation. If those bystanders continue to play on and amplify the initial disagreement day in and day out, it keeps the issue always at the forefront, and disallows progress toward an amelioration. The longer it remains a focus issue, the more those bystanders will feel compelled to take a side, widening the divide, and creating tribes backing one or the other.

It only takes a couple of motivated onlookers to drive a mob.

We should probably have cops stop extrajudicially murdering black people then. Feels like that might nip this whole thing in the bud.

Hard pass. I’m not in the habit of trying to prove conspiracy theories wrong.

Maybe for a refreshing change of pace you could actually substantiate a claim for once. Kind of off-brand, I know. But sometimes it’s fun to mix things up.

That's... a very interesting interpretation of that statement.

Fentanyl had a role in Floyd's death is what Zig is saying.

He specifically claimed that China was involved.

Also, fentanyl didn’t actually have a role in Floyd’s death. The cause of death was murder. But of course, that’s according to science, which I know conspiracy theorists don’t have much use for.

China's involvement in the fentanyl problem in the US is well established. Bury your head about that if you want to, but it's public record.

He’s also under the impression that the drugs played a role in his death. They didn’t. Two autopsies confirm homicide as the cause of death.

Guess who claims it was drugs? The lawyers defending the cops who murdered Floyd. No evidence to support the claim, mind you. But that seems to be good enough for some people.

Now all you have to do is connect that to George Floyd’s murder.
