One good thing about these young white men smashing up things: maybe they won't resort to mass murdering people with AR-15s to take out their aggression over being [checks notes] white men.
I mean though if you look around right now, there are tons of black leaders alleging it (with some video support). It’s not just the right’s “soros did this.” White dudes with skateboards wrecking shit while black protestors confront them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
There are so many intersecting narratives and so much scapegoating going on from every angle right now. Twitter is bananas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The hardcore left and racist right are both dismissing the notion of white nationalists / nutso rightwingers getting in on the action, for different reasons.
The left is worried that it delegitimizes the outrage of the masses.
The right wants blacks and various leftist troublemakers to own all of the destruction.
Wild times.
Me, 2 nights ago: Man, the looting is such a bad look and is so counterproductive.
Me, now: THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS MUST BE PURIFIED THROUGH VIOLENCE AND FIRE.
Every person involved in this is fucking it up - cops, DA, and now the fucking medical examiner?!?!
I really can't imagine a city even in the deep south handling it worse.
TLDR: When the USSR fell, there was no nanny state to hold it together. Serbia wanted to keep it together but everyone else was like, later. My grandfather was the son of Croatian immigrants so he followed the shit really closely. I even went over and met distant family there in 2008. There are still bullet holes in houses all throughout the countryside (along with vacant houses that ethnic Serbs abandoned/fled).
