fuck the police general

“The ‘community center block party’ vibe ended after the first week,” said one local woman. “This reminds me of NYC during Occupy Wall Street almost to a ‘T.’ Except here people are getting killed.”

The issue, she said, is that she felt the protests shifted away from police violence and Black Lives Matter into more of an anarchist message. “The people with the loudest voices are all sharing the same ‘fuck capitalism/establishment/burn it all down’ rhetoric. The camp and the early infrastructure is similar,” she said, saying that the lack of clear leadership hurt efforts to make the area safe. “Sure, burn it all down, but have a plan. The lack of a central voice, the lack of a plan, and the elevation of people who don’t even live here are very similar.”

Sounds familiar - I wonder why people keep saying this about leftist protests!

Ian you should read Atlas Shrugged

[ian]

Maybe I should

[Gamut]

Don't read Atlas Shrugged, it's awful.

I feel like a lot of people judge protests based on how comfortable they are watching it and not based on results.

[big_ass]

It's one of the worst books ever written

And it's quite funny because it's absolutely a conservative power fantasy and these people play right into it

[electrowizard]

Ah yes, just replace the terms for people that hold power with a marginalized group. That's totally not reductive at all. Learn what the Other is before you talk, moron

[Gamut]

If you really want to read Atlas Shrugged, I recommend instead just reading the John Galt speech where the message of the book is laid out plainly in 100 pages, and skip over the 1200 pages of painfully obvious foreshadowing and 1950s Shades of Grey.

[big_ass]

I think all of us can take a moment to agree here - the Holocaust was a great tragedy.

[big_ass]

Well - almost all of us.

[electrowizard]

There wasn't even an argument to be had. As usual, asoul has no clue what he's talking about
