You know if Americans are upto something us sheep have to get involved too. Like the sheer power of American culture is ****ing unreal. We are basically a US state.
Absolutely and this is always the conundrum. And the thing is it isn't a case that we've gone from violent protest to vociferous vocal protests or what I consider to be direct action. Nope, we've gone from violent protests to this pussy brainwashed belief the only alternative is to hold up banners and congregate in areas designated by the police as acceptable and dictated by government. And that came about because some bloke camped on the road outside Downing Street with No to the Iraq War was becoming too inconvenient. In that sense there's a part of me that loves it when Extinction Rebellion turn up and close the place down. It's a big "Fck You" to those who want to sterilise people's ability to affect change or simply argue against conformity. In the old days, you'd have political rallies in church halls and senior political figures would turn up and get heckled to fck as they tried to speak. Firstly you just don't have those types of community rallies with senior figures. But if you try challenging anyone out loud now you'd get kicked out. They don't even allow certain news channels to enter now ffs. And this isn't just one political party, New Labour were guilty of this bollox as well. There was a Labour Party conference about 10-12 years ago. Some old bloke (think he was Jewish not that, that matters) who had been a life long member of the Party, shouted out at some bollox being spouted on the stage. He was turfed out. It was shameful. But also indicative of how far we've become subjugated in politics.
The guy breaking up the pavement in preparation to be used as ammo for his mates was not too high on "fizzy vimto". Not part of any organised group either apparently At least the real demonstrators spotted what was happening and handed him to the cops.
What Tobes was saying I presume is Antifa is a not organised in the sense it doesn't have an active leadership structure. You arent sorta recruited or pay to join. Any random 5 people can claim to be Antifa. Its all organised on Discord groups among friends or Facebook groups
Protesters or organised crime gang, watch the video and decide for yourself... https://www.nbcsandiego.com/videos/security-footage-shows-looting-of-la-mesa-jewelry-store/2337870/
Just ****s init. Bet the store owner is buzzing, you know all those rocks are ensure by the federal government?
Which is by far the best way to organise anarchy (or even a legitimate revolution). No leaders to trace and stop and no actual spokesmen to pin down, just small cells of people. A free flowing idea that is hard to break. Shame they are such twats.
Yeah but they're 80% scrawny wimps. They were in London (capital of 51st state) when the Torys won and I distinctly remember one begging for mercy after being shoved by a cop. Made me laugh out loud.
There was a big gathering in Liverpool today, my mate took pics of it, Black Lives Matter banners, protesting, soon to be some in London and Manchester. Then the looters will come, etc, etc. I can only hope we can call in the national guard like all the others did. Like Governor Johnson needs to get onto the Fed for extra funding and some help here.
A Pig killed a black guy and showed his life no respect...it was a racist attack so let the Black Lives Matter people emphasise that point...it’s their time to make noise only insecure white people think that it equates to White lives Don’t Matter
Yeah, I think even the name of the movement is enough... "Black Lives Matter" Like, the implication is right now they DON'T matter, the point is they want to be like everyone else in the US... not that they want to be on a higher pedestal. I just do not comprehend the leap in logic it takes to say "Black Lives Matter?? So mine doesn't?!" What? No.
well said. The big problem is, it's been hijacked by people with their own agenda and most of the demonstrators know this. Sickening for them.
They are not saying they want to be on a higher pedestal...that’s you being insecure again...they want to be equal and you need to have a word with yourself if you think they are equals as things stand...especially in the States
