president is a titular position , none of them wield any power at all no politicians do they are just the messengers all decisions are made and all policy is set in
thinks tanks, CFR, AEI etc, all the people they present to you on the screen are just teleprompter readers delivering the messages and dictates fro the real rulers
voting make no difference at all it only exists to fool you and lull you into complacency but giving you the illusion you have choice , you don't you have owners, they own you

they released the virus, they have the vax all all along , and t hey use agitprop agent provocateurs to orchestrate the riots
because their system is collapsing and has been for years or was deliberately collapsed to bring in a new one , ad they need a scapegoat
can;t wait till markets open tomorrow
This thread is really looking like it's going to be wild.

Who are 'they'?

History continues to repeat itself and I feel it is our job, our duty, to help create change. We were born into this time for a reason and it is our absolute fundamental responsibility to speak up, speak out & use our platforms for good. I believe that change starts within our own homes. It is the way in which we speak to our own children, our babies are not born into hate, what do we teach them along the way, do we share messages of love for all? What stories do we tell? Are they stories about freedom, are they about those that came before us that fought so hard risking and giving up their lives for equality. Please use this moment in time to be the change.

A riot is the language of the unheard.
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?
The time is always right to do what is right.
I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.
Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.
The ultimate measure of a person is not where they stand in moments of comfort and convenience, but where they stand at times of challenge and controversy.

Riots are very destructive to the communities for years and decades. It may be the language of the unheard but riots are bad in a few ways.

For one, this is just plain messed up to the store owners who didn't do anything yet get attacked for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. All that they worked hard for to build up now gone, and don't have the means to rebuild. And people bring up that we can use gov funds and community contributions to help those business owners to rebuild, but that is a Broken Window Fallacy. People using their money to repair a business that shouldn't have been destroyed if it weren't for the rioters takes away that money that could've been used for other means. Like Health Programs, help to feed the poor, or even someone using that for consumer products like buying a computer making someone like AMD richer which helps signals and propel a business to provide things that raises our standard of living, cheaper for more performance. It's inefficient use and inefficiant allocation of money to repair a business that shouldn't have to be repaired in the first place when that money is better spent on something else, because people decided to destructively riot.

Another point would be it drives capital away from the inner cities. In Ferguson today there are many stores that are still abandoned buildings because of the riots that happen in 2014, some of the stores were black owned. The investors don't want to give a loan to new business owners in that area so new businesses don't pop up. Investing in a riot area has become a risky business venture which can take years to rebuild trust again. Store owners are scared to open new locations or return to their currently operating businesses in riot areas fearing for their life. This decreases the wealth of inner city black owners and blacks overall in that area, which riots can scare capital away for decades. This worsens the problem of unemployment and poverty which happened for the riots of the 1960's. And Nixon got elected because of those riots, which is a Democrat nightmare.

Peaceful protests should be the main goal and not destructive riots because they do a lot of damage to the communities, worsens the problem poverty which is what the very thing rioters were protesting in the 1960's.

Do you support BLM? Does that mean you support racism? Because it seems that BLM is raciest in it's own right.
African American aren't the only race being abused and/or killed by cops.

And this is almost similar manner to George Floyd

That last one is especially surprising as it didn't seem to garnered media attention and no uproar, no riots, or anything.
In a hindsight though it took BLM to get the public to take notice of the abuse of powers that the police has. So maybe BLM can be a good thing for all race?
