what’s the big deal about this? Are we supposed to know who this guy is?

Most won't know who he is, the whole point of the post is to point out who this guy is and how much of a piece of shit genocide supporter he is. The group he leads was an important life source for Gaza and he stopped the aid which will result in further death. He is a murderer walking free, it's good to share his face, sort of like a wanted poster.

At the ones I've seen, the action itself was just speeches and signs etc, but people were meeting new comrades and organizations, some people learning about PSL for the first time which actually calls for serious action. It's not intended to be a strike-back type of thing like what's happening in France or Albania, it's helping people who have never done any serious political work in their lives get their foot in it.

Which innocent business got destroyed? I'm not doubting some did, but I hear that narrative during every protest, and I have seen them smashing Louis Vuitton and other corps windows but leaving local businesses untouched. That's how it's usually been where I'm at when this stuff happens, a business seen as supporting the police or CVS/Target etc got attacked but the local store next door run by cooler people was untouched even without boarded windows in 2020.

Abdul El-Sayed heckler exposed as ex-GOP staffer with ‘Christian nationalist ties’: report

Religion is just the tool, it's the antisocial and murderous reactionary ideologies pushed through major religions that allows it. Christianity in particular does have a lot of ways of condoning imperialism etc but I believe it can be for good, there have been numerous Christian groups that broke away from the mainstream and said that to follow the scriptures required a form of socialism. I was raised with a Buddhist leaning upbringing, and it instilled in me ideals like a respect for all life and different cultures, to persue a harmony between humanity and nature, but also allows a scientific and materialist view rather than pure idealism.

Town hall in Limoges 'largely lost' to blaze set during French protests

Reply in thread

Are you from the US? Go ask average "normie" Americans if they think the rich should own everything, and if we should do anything to stop them. You'd be surprised how often people will say revolution is the answer. And a revolution will not be chill, it will have arson and violence and people taking advantage of that for their benefit. But the only other option is a boot, stamping your face forever.

Good for them, wouldn't you have fun fighting back? We are ruled by wealthy vampires, I would rather die fighting them than help prop up this global system of genocide, endlessly exploiting every working person. There wouldn't be wrecking if there was a real dialogue between people and the rulers. The protests never start like this. They get together and ask for what they want, then the police started beating the fuck out of them.

I just watched a clip, I've seen it in person before though more than once, where someone was just standing there alone doing nothing as the police groups ran by. Around a dozen cops threw him to the ground, stomped on him, beat him with sticks and he died. They want to kill us. So whatever fighting back they feel is necessary is what should be done. What are you doing to save people's lives?

Not all normies think that way, some can actually see the logical chain and think about the situation rationally. The protesters would be sitting and singing songs for weeks if the police didn't beat the shit out of them. The police start the violence, every time, in France, the US, all the west. Have you not seen the several clips of people standing alone beaten to a pulp by dozens of pigs, at least one of whom died? Who are the ones inflicting terror here?

Are you in the US? You can get from any point of France to the capital relatively quick through driving or transit. People in the US do stuff but it's tough to have numbers in the streets like this when we are so spread out and the police will shoot you on the way.

‘The Onion’ Stands With Israel Because It Seems Like You Get In Less Trouble For That

Small detail some might miss, one of the editorial board signatures is Ted Kaczynski.

Brilliant paragraph:

“What of the tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians killed before this attack?” some may ask. Our response is simply that we aren’t going to engage with that because it would be too hard. We also won’t be addressing Palestinians living in refugee camps without access to clean water, electricity, or housing. Others may ask, “Isn’t it your responsibility to provide context, particularly on thorny issues such as this one?” To that, we merely say: No, shut up. You’re being annoying.
