Tell them to contemplate Jack Ma. Nothing is ever secure in a country with no rule of law except the emperor's decreeThe rich elites, though pure arrogance, believe they will just miraculously be in the protected class. Useful idiots indeed....

There`s peace in the forgiveness...
Not in the least.Forgiveness is contigent on contrition and change.
What if those solutions don't offer free **** but instead are based on opportunity and hard work, more like WPA than free college and UBI?
I fail to see how anyone at all serious can look upon communism as a true solution to their problems. Seems more like they hope to build a better, undeserved position from the wreckage of what once was
Yeah, and the follow up question, did the skateboard guy Kyle shot look happier about himself when he was shot through and throughWhen I see all of this "socialist" mess in this country I've come to believe that these people in the streets are more than anything unhappy with themselves and want to give somebody a butt whoopin because of it. Why I can't explain. The problem is that you can't just beat on people and burn buildings because you are angry, it's not legal, or moral. They don't consider that maybe if they applied themselves to correcting their own problems they might feel better.
I think the idea got started that they should find some group that's considered bad by society in general and beating on them would be OK. Maybe this is where ANTIFA starts and the "punch a Nazi" slogan, trouble is there aren't a lot of Nazis around so they are hard to find, let alone getting yourself filmed beating them.
Now they've moved on to "racism" a broadly used term, and growing wider every day, that can be used to paint a great many individuals and organizations. The term has no moral defense so maybe it's morally OK now to "punch a racist".
Where does it stop? How much violence is required before these people feel better about themselves? What is the next " morally reprehensible" group or organization to seek out for a beating?
I remember last year telling my wife that I thought most of these people looked like LARPers from Comic-Con and that sadly someone would end up getting killed before they realized what they were doing was for real and went home. Today I wonder how much blood it's really going to take, 20, 100, 1000?
So, buy cryptocoin on Robinhood in preference to develop a plan and work towards a better job. I just get the feeling a major part of the problem is those 'ones' want everything fixed NOW. That's not how any of this worksPeople are going to look to the ones offering a solution. It doesn't matter if it's a good solution, just that they acknowledge a problem exists and sell a solution.
I would say they are looking for easy solutions, reality notwithstanding. Had they been willing to accept real solutions, they would have supported Trump.People are going to look to the ones offering a solution. It doesn't matter if it's a good solution, just that they acknowledge a problem exists and sell a solution.
No surprise at all. Instead of being taught critical thinking, resiliance, and personal responsibility, they've been indoctrinated to believe thatYeah, and the follow up question, did the skateboard guy Kyle shot look happier about himself when he was shot through and through
I also wonder about the theory that 'certain groups' are angry with asians because they succeed in conditions where those groups fail, and I read in other threads about how millennials flirt with the idea of communism because according to them the system just isn't 'fair'
I'm left to conclude that too many people don't see a path out of their problems and elect to take it out on others rather than placing the blame on themselves, where it belongs. They also seem overwhelmed by multiple problems and unable to perform 'triage' and solve the problems that can be solved immediately first
Last summer was bad, but the late 60s/early 70s were in fact worse.I wasn’t around in the 60s and early 70s. To the old cats who were, worse now or then?
I'd also mention the triple assassinations of Kennedy/Kennedy/King. That's political violence that could have easily triggered complete sociopolitical meltdown.Last summer was bad, but the late 60s/early 70s were in fact worse.

Western Europe's socialist practices are unsustainable, just as are the USA's.The caveat, is that the possibility of mirroring Western Europe based socialist practice is a legitimate thought. That I could see happening within my lifetime.
Just seeing this thread. I grew up in the 60's/70's. Worse now. At least we don't have a half dozen far left groups bombing buildings randomly. But tallying up the damage from last summer's mostly peaceful protests, any given year of violence then is nowhere near the destruction across the country as now.I wasn’t around in the 60s and early 70s. To the old cats who were, worse now or then?
Sure, it's a relevant question. Frankly we were more worried about USSR nuking us. I'd say that then versus now, there are a lot more people who viewed their actions critically as now. BLM can riot and loot kill people, and much of America still cheers them on. It wasn't like that at all back then.No. I am trying to gauge the actions of the left then, vs now, to find out if the perception of it by those who didn’t hold a favorable of those protests. Did they view as less a threat as compared to now, the same, or more critical? The question is relevant is it not?
