What is to blame for/the cause of the recent spate of robberies and looting and ransacking of businesses in America?

[The Catboy]

I like Japan's society and culture. There justice system IS kind of fucked, but, they are one of the least violent cultures on the planet, with one of the lowest violent crime rates of any civilized nation.

A HUGE part of that IS education and culture, and the expectation that people WILL contribute to the national character and have a respect for their culture and history and heritage.

It's hard to produce that in a country where it's a crime to even stand for the National Anthem. We don't have a national idenity here because everyone is everyone else's enemy, and no one is willing to find ANYTHING that is common enough ground for us to raise a culture around.

I wish we had a culture in this nation. That would prevent almost all of this bullshit.

Have you actually traveled to other states or even outside of your own hometown? Because the US is full of different cultures. It's fair to say that the US doesn't have one major culture but it's extremely narrow-minded to believe there is no culture. Quite honestly, the massive diversity of cultures in one country is something that can be considered the culture of the US, which is to say freedom of culture.

I promise you I have traveled more than you. I've been in more than 40 states for at least a week when I was traveling for sales. I calculated that I probably met a minimum of 350,000 people, face-to-face. From trailer parks in Louisiana to mansions in California.

There is no UNIFYING culture in this country, but I'll thank you not to insult me by thinking haven't seen the people of this beautiful nation. There is nothing that unites ALL of us. Just a bunch of people circling their wagons around their political party, their religion or their ethnic heritage/group.

It was never like this, when I was still traveling. But, the iPhone hadn't even been invented then, and 9/11 hadn't happened. The country wasn't always like this.

It wasn't even like this during the Obama administration. As shitty a person as GWB is, he never would've been elected if he was half as vitriolic and divisive as Trump is in public appearances. Of course there's nothing to unify us when a third of the population is openly and often calling for class and racial warfare.

 

[wartutor]

This has been proven to be wrong.

Nothing was proven wrong some pics with vague bull shit and some numbers....what other bull shit did they try to sneak into those bill because we all know its never just about the title. Like the democrats inflation reduction act that just added trillions of dollars to the deficit and increased inflation. And dont get me wrong republicans are just as bad about it.

The Obama administration is when it STARTED. Again, that is around the era the first smartphones came out, and the news cycle went from fifteen minutes to fifteen seconds. Online social activism EXPLODED while he was in office, and never before then. That is also when Black Lives Matter was formed, and we see how much wonderful things they've done for the country. Well, for themselves. Lots of mansions and cars. Haven't seen one positive thing come from that domestic hate group. Not a single positive result.

Lots of blame to go around if you want to go that route.

There was nothing vague. These were the results of bills Congress voted on.

If this was vague to you then I suggest you finish a middle school education.

Oh hey another racist remark from you.

 

[WalterSlovotsky]

What did I say that is racist? Spell it out. LMFAO.

God, you leftists. You can't just dislike someone and call everything they say racist. They have to actually SAY something racist.

So, spell it out for me. Copy and paste it right here. Show me where I said ANYTHING about ANY specific race.

Right now.

 

[Mythrandir]

Like I said and have been saying its not one sides fault its the entire government and people arguing for their side instead of holding it accountable. On topic looks like a nother night and the summer of love (2020) all over again. Police need ro just start shooting. When enough die people will quit being stupid.

It's not even just the entire government's or the loyal partisan acolyte's fault. It is the fault of every individual because every individual shares the same guilt of sin; from the X Party to the Y Party and the saint to the antichrist. None are righteous and good without God. There is no sanctification in tyrannical slaughter. It is only found in humble submission and self-discipline, a gracious gift and mercy from the Lord Most High. It begins with a change of heart within the self rather than the change of heart within others. This is why any Us vs Them lens is an utter falsehood. Everyone who has participated and will participate, myself included, which should go without saying, in this discussion has, is, and will be guilty of this at some point in their lives. There is no human that has not been tainted by the wretched nature of sin except Jesus Christ of Nazareth. That is why there is a "spate of robberies and looting and ransacking of businesses in America." They are merely sinners submitting to the envy and lust of the flesh.

Your implied not so subtle bigotry regarding BLM.

If you don't think what you said was racist, that's a you problem and doesn't make it any less racist.

You racist.

LMFAO. Shut the fuck up, you silly cunt.

I said nothing racist at all. You simply hate me, and I love it. Let that anger flow through you.

Next time you accuse someone of racism, try having something to back it up with. Your feared R-word isn't working anymore. You've worn it out. Gotta find a new line.

If I said that MAGA was a racist hate group, would THAT be racist for me to say? Would that be "implied bigotry"?

Let's see how consistent you are.

 

[supermist]

Weird ass meltdown dude

 

[WalterSlovotsky]

Weird ass meltdown dude

I thought so.

It's kind of like Ben Shapiro said. Once you show that you are a jackass by calling someone a racist with no merit, you've lost any courtesy from me. You're just butthurt that you tried your favorite word, it failed, and you were left stuttering.

We can only hope that you learned something today.

Racist. Tee hee.

The Obama administration is when it STARTED.

Not at all. The hateful trolls were still under their bridges and rocks until Trump rallied them. Obama broke their brains simply by being elected, but he's not responsible for the opposition choosing anger over sanity.

Again, that is around the era the first smartphones came out, and the news cycle went from fifteen minutes to fifteen seconds.

Nah the transition to a shortened news cycle was gradual, and online disinformation coming from bad actors was not nearly as prevalent.

Online social activism EXPLODED while he was in office, and never before then.

Which is not a bad thing when people are advocating for average Americans rather than criminal elitists.

Which part of that advocacy resulted in $2 billion worth of property damage done around American cities during the George Floyd riots? Not "protests". Straight up RIOTS where folks who think like you were setting their own cities on fire.

But, according to you, those companies were all insured, and they could take the loss because they have been cheating the public out of the opportunity to buy shit.

So all of the mom-and-pop businesses that got looted. All of the black-owned businesses that got burnt down. Yeah, that was justice for George. Fuck them, right? Their insurance will cover it. Right?

Crime has TOTALLY gone down in St. Louis and Minneapolis since then. Worked a treat.

Imagine quoting Ben Shapiro and expecting to be taken seriously

Imagine calling people a racist and having no evidence to support it, and then still clucking away.

So you hate Ben Shapiro, too? So you're not only a racist, but you are an anti-Semite? What is WRONG with you, boy?

Just take the L, son.

You made a racist remark, and don't think it was a racist remark.

And then you make the leap that because I dislike Ben Shapiro that I dislike all Jews.

There's no possible discussion here. You're far too stupid an individual to have any kind of discussion with.


Maybe reevaluate your life. Get your GED which can happen online these days, get a job and leave momma's basement.

Kinda proving my point here bud. Floyd's murder happened on Trump's watch, and specifically after he had instructed police to "be rough" with suspects. In the 90s both sides could at least agree on freedom being the driving force of the country, but now the right advocates for a police state instead, all just to protect the interests of billionaires and corporations.

He simply doesn't comprehend cause and effect.

What point did you have? Are you denying how much damage those riots caused? Can you show me any positive result that came from them, as far as crime statistics?

THAT criminality wasn't due to poverty. And a lot of the people involved were like Meatball from TikTok of recent infamy. They just wanted to jump on the bandwagon. I mean, fuck; if Best Buy is blown wide open, let's get justice for Floyd by stealing a new TV. THAT'LL learn 'em.

You still need to show me what I said that is racist. You can't try to ask me to make your argument for you. You already think I am stupid, so let's pretend I'm as dumb as you are. Explain to me EXACTLY, using small words, what I said that is racist.

I will CashApp you fifty dollars right now if you can actually prove I said something racist. Do it now, boy.
