Bravo Ron DeSantis for investigating GoFundMe. No sense in allowing these evil tech companies get away with murder while activist progressive AGs and DAs turn everything into a political circus to advance their careers. Time to takes the kiddie gloves off

Good thing the "Go Truckers" people are opposed to democracy and majority-rule. May the shortages be long-lasting for those who don't give them the respect they deserve.

I guess rioting is now a part of the process now that Nationalists have bought into so-called BLM style tactics.

BLM changed the rules of civilization, and now that we know those are part of the new acceptable rules endorsed by the establishment, they are not going away. There shall be no unilateral disarmament just because it makes people uncomfortable. All the incentive to go harder.

Well, right wingers bought the myth of these new rules, since the vast majority of BLM protests didn't involve riots or otherwise illegal acts.

Blatant lies obvious to all of us with eyes who witnessed it. Your fradulent statitistics that count 20 people protesting at a carwash on the side of the road in Long Island equal to the mass demonstrations in cities don't fool anybody but yourselves. In that case, we had many many peaceful COVID demonstrations in the Midwest last summer which outweigh this singular act. (Lotta good that did)

You personally witnessed them or you witnessed them on Fox 'News'?


I witnessed them burning down buildings in my neighborhood - fires were blazing in all directions within eyesight of my roof. The holes are still in the ground where buildings no longer stand. And this is the part of the city that actually had a defensive operation because they have to keep those of us who pay taxes around. Almost feel bad for those that don't.

How do you know these were caused by the BLM types?

Because I have eyes, as noted above, as well as ears to hear the chants. The Wikipedia article details the bare minimum and even that's quite generous to the cause. I had to flee the city.

Since this mess was allowed to continue without much resistance, this gave license for normal people to double down and create a society that runs exactly like that, except for their benefit instead of the hooligans'.

Blacks aren't 'normal people'?

Working people of all backgrounds are normal. Animals who blow up ATMs and loot luxury consumer goods to make money are hooligans. Very easy to tell the difference.

Except you said that 'normal' people now have license to do this.


I'm not aware of people personally benefitting themselves through illegitimate means. In fact, they took the risk of doing the opposite - sacrificing their working hours as a de facto strike without the expectation of outside support.

What they have license to do it politically targeted disruption to get what they want.

If that's how these arguments go, you know who else was an individual actor or small group infiltrating a larger protest? The idiots who blockaded doors of a residential building and started a fire. The other 99 percent of protestors are non violent honking.

Historically there was no way I'd be the least bit sympathetic to demonstrators like this causing a ruckus, but after everyone was so indifferent to me being in the line of danger, I can only hope the same happens to them so they know what was being cheered on.

Justin Trudeau is probably the best head of government in the Anglosphere and his opposition is full of clowns who would be much worse if you want to know the state of global politics.

Your side did 220 violent riots which is much worse than anything the truckers are doing

It's not about 'sides' doing things. There are more than two sides and lots of bozos all over the place with wackadoodle ideas. Both of your created 'sides' commit more than enough violence to go around. Posters on this forum are not collectively responsible for things that their side has done, nor should they feel foolish because theoretical ideological sympathizers did something bad. That's going to be true for everyone at some point.

The shameful thing is the politicians that failed to denounce or encouraged last summer's violence directed at private citizens and institutions. Given how in lockstep people are with defending whatever their politicians say or do, it would have been solid mitigation against declining standards of acceptable actions. Instead, we got widespread endorsement, which everybody was listening to, not just their base.

All I can say is peak irony bruh. Hope that was your goal. Not even worth a thoughtful response to someone who has a serious dearth of logical skill. See ya when someone quotes ya maybe. But hopefully not.
