Rocks were being thrown at cars of people shouting out racist insults and pro-Trump bullshit. People weren't targeting random civilians. Stop buying into this bullshit narrative. It's OBVIOUSLY false. Who the fuck would do this? Do you really think hundreds or thousands of people gathered just to get violent and attack innocent bystanders?
You are no better than Trump, who is using minorities as a tool to justify violence, a smart liberal would not get into a shouting match with a republican, not to talk about the fact that they were attacking Trump supporters. People like to pick up individual cases of stupid people then writing down the whole community be it democrats or republicans just because of confirmation bias. I have always been liberal all of my life, and I am going to be till the end of times, but I have never ever been so disappointed with the left as I am now.
For those of you saying this plays into Trumps message, you're kidding yourself. So what you're really saying is that it's easy for you to believe that a bunch of young Mexican kids were acting like wild animals. That's the way you're choosing to look at them. That's the narrative you're accepting. Without any critical examination of the situation.
I know I know, nowadays it is difficult to grasp the fact that you are personally responsible how people are going to perceive you in general, maybe act like a normal human being, not like a rabid dog, then maybe it will be harder for the right to downplay you.
You're a part of the problem. Not the rock throwers or police car shatterers. And all you people throwing out this non-violent bullshit need to stop it, too. There's already a violent force at play here and it's the forces of the state and capital and their police force which systematically violate people of color every single day.
How ironic that you are citing basically a civil war, because "yeah that is going to show them", you are delusional and dangerous, as any other republican participant in this year's election.
Tell me what's wrong with defending people's justified rage. Why is it that I can log into NeoGAF and expect patronizing racists from a sizable portion of its users? Oh, because it's fucking NeoGAF.
It is utterly disingenuous and despicable thing to label people racists just because they expect to you to behave like a normal human being at public events, and once again this is reads like a bad right wing article from fox news.
Try putting some thought into your damn response. Give me something to work with here.
Obviously I don't know how to solve most of the issues sadly, but I know how I would organize a protest against Trump. I would do a
BIG BEAUTIFUL SPECTACLE
where I would invite famous liberal musicians to do concerts, with awesome dancing, and doing an open culinary, because you can't argue against a basic human instinct(hunger), and maybe Trump supporters would get a change of heart after smelling good mexican food.
Go ahead and try to argue against it. But you probably can't because you think your notion of property rights and civil liberties can't be criticized as outdated even though they're probably based off of a 200 year old document evolved from a barely post-Feudalistic society.. Just to give you some damn context, I mean.
In any case, I'm so thankful that there are some actual radical-minded or at least POC-allied minds in this thread. Thank you for giving me the energy to re-enter this discussion. It's really encouraging. Is there an OT for leftists round these parts? For real.
We are living in a democratic capitalistic world, and you ask how dare we value our personal property?Dude what the fuck, you are crazy, there is no ideology which makes okay or justify destroying other people's stuff.
This is the kind of mentality which is why Trump is still in the race, and if it comes down to him winning the presidency, it's not going to be because he s that good, but because the American left tend to sabotage themselves with dumb posts and protests like this.
