Realistically, the rioters are going to eventually be condemned by the peaceful protestors, and the general population will soon follow, thus giving support for law enforcement to squash them and end the fiasco. This has been the case for a loooooong time.
Normally I might agree but this is LA. They’ve been through this shit before.
the rioters … peaceful protestors
Then the peaceful protestors don’t really care about advancing the cause they’re protesting for.

If this turns into an American Tiananmen Square, you’re going to end up knocking a star off that flag.
Most of the people on this site that cheer this on also happen to be the ones who think that the Tiananmen Square massacre didn’t happen, and if it did then it was a good thing.
Well, we always knew #RATM were right, but no one expected yet another playbook decades after this album was released in 1999. It all feels that unreal… 😔
“I liked them before they got all political” – Some Republican dumbass.
I can only assume they thought Bulls on Parade was about a family holiday to the beach.
Holy fuck. Some finally have the balls to stand up and fight and a bunch of you are all…this is wrong. Escalation and violence is not ok…or…but they have so many big guns.
Your country is run by a fucking dictator. Your own people are being forcefully removed from their homes and families and put in concentration camps.
Unbelievable.
“…The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try.*

“Quick! The Gestapo is running into resistance, send in the SS!”
Threaten the 4th largest economy in the world with leverage you don’t really have. Encourage escalation tactics for illegal detainment of peoples under the jurisdiction and protection of the Constitution. Ignore the Constitution and normalize the absurd use of the term deportation. Cry about it on social media and then throw a fit and send troops to peaceful protests ( as per LAPD ).
Frail ideology.
Someone get my NWA CD and boombox, we hitten the streets.
Throw some RATM in there too!
Could i interest you in a very loud WOOP WOOP. That’s the sound of the police. Or possibly a WOOP WOOP. That’s the sound of the beast.
+1…The original boombox used tape cassettes and most with two for playing and recording. Don’t forget your roller skates too.
Are the Europeans proud of our protests yet?
Not yet. Protest harder.
(Secretly proud of you.)
Well, Americans always defend their guns because they could use them to rise up against their government. So honestly, although normally considered impressive, you Americans raised our expectations even higher.
We have guns, but the government has even more.
There’s not so much gained from escalation. Cameras are still the best weapon, considering how many allegedly sentient organisms still have support for Trump’s actions. Media has claimed that “they’re only arresting violent illegals”, and “they’re only using soldiers to stop violent riots”. Regretfully, millions of people still believe that. The more evidence we can generate that both are untrue, the more that we can turn the tide.
escalation is actually an amazing deterrent. protests from the early US prove there is actually a lot to be gained. they can be incredibly effective.
Asmongold is the most stunning, he just gurgles up all the content, and regurgitates back to his audience with the most bland, predictable responses imaginable. He is completely fucking blind.
It is coming.
elon could do the funniest thing here and declare open rebellion against tyranny
Going full Pregozhin
The funniest thing he could do is drive a cybertruck off a cliff.
I was gonna go with “accidentally share evidence that DJT manipulated the 2024 election results with his help”.
No need. Here’s the data about the failed attempt in 2020 and the successful attempt in 2024.

First and last links are the data. The middle links are for us stupid people that need to be told how to read the data in the last link.
*Let the FSD cybertruck drive him off a cliff while demonstrating how good it is at not doing that.
Time to fuck up some fascist. Someone is going to get domed soon when the current escalation.
And so it begins.
Buy guns, learn how to use them
Drones, everyone should be looking at fiber optic drones. If for no other reason than you can put one in the sky with a thermal camera above your home.
Hell it doesn’t even need to have a fiber optic cable, having that information is very valuable.
On it. Now I just need friends. If you see a guy in green, that might be me.
I figure we need a suitable color to separate ourselves from the politics of yore.
clashes
What kind of clash? A violent one or?
New rage against the machine album coming…
