    Literal terrorists. But people here on Lemmy still see those looters and rioters as heroes. Absolutely beyond me. They destroy public and private properties of normal people and yet people here on Lemmy celebrate those deeds. Absolutely revolting. Wonder whether y’all still would be cheering if it were ur store or car or whatever that got destroyed by those “protestors”. No mercy against those lawless rioters.

      You would have called for the execution of the people that got the US weekends and the 8 hour work day, wouldn’t you?

        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.

                It’s not just one buildung; it’s stores, cars from ordinary citizens, public infrastructure like bus stations, etc. Do y’all really think this is necessary and good and helps the actual cause? Cos it LITERALLY does the opposite. Who tf do y’all think has to pay for reconstruction of all the public infrastructure? Exactly, the taxpayers. Money that could actually be used to address the original problems.

                Bloody hell y’all are lost af. So if the rioters would destroy your car/house/whatever you would still say “nice, that helps the cause, I like sacrificing my private property and possessions I worked hard for for no fckn reason”.

                I literally can’t understand how y’all can approve this haphazard violence and destruction.

                I kinda could understand it if the rich were affected by those riots, like if their private yachts/planes/mansions where the target, but they are not. So literally the only people who are suffering are the ordinary citizens.

                  Nice straw man. Nobody is saying the destruction is good. However regressive conservatives only focus on the destruction. Réacs’ like you don’t seem to find the death and maiming by the police worse than destruction of inanimate objects. You’re showing your true colors.

                  How’s the boot? Do you like the taste of blood from protestors?
