    Wtf no?? I’m not condemning the peaceful protestors, I am only condemning those who riot and loot; those people have no interest whatsoever in the actual cause. They use those protests solely as a pretence for looting.

    Jesus Christ, the extrapolation y’all guys on Lemmy do is really its very own form of insanity. Y’all really can only think in black and whites, as in two polar opposites where no middleground exists.

      The protests to get the American workers their protections were anything but peaceful. You should crack a history book once in a while.

      You literally divided the protestors into the peaceful ones and rioters, who you call literal terrorists, and have the gall to accuse other people about black and white world views? Surely there are a lot of groups between then in a movement this big? Your worker rights don’t come from the people who just sat around peacefully until the people in power got so bored they gave them their rights, most of modern conveniences arrived here with a body count.

      Perhaps a bit of nuance would do you good as well?

      were US weekends and 8 hour work days achieved by peaceful protestors?

        Were US weekends and 8 hour work days achieved by arbitrarily destroying public and private property and lootings like the world is about go down?

        Seriously the lack of condemnation of the haphazard violence and destruction here on Lemmy is utterly appalling.

          This got serious “but do you condemn Hamas?” vibes. Do we have to pledge allegiance to old decrepit buildings before we try to change society? The people killed by the police, the state, and the capitalists are rarely talked about but a fucking building has more value for some apparently.
