The majority of looters are looting only because there were no consequences for the tiny percentage looking for the smallest excuse to loot. This is why shooting looters was de rigueur until very recently. Any first-wave looters you shoot are pieces of shit whose physical removal makes the world a better place. If you do not shoot these, then others who likely would not have participated join in once they realize they would be suckers not to.
This was proven out on a large scale in Chile in 1973. As General Pinochet started disappearing the rabble rousers with the loudest mouths, the rest of the wannabe commies learned to STFU pretty quickly.
It's a double-whammy of human nature. Most people are sheep. The shock troops of the left are overwhelmingly sheep since marxism was deliberately crafted to appeal to the weak-minded.
When I first met her, while dating her daughter, she asked me if I knew how they used to castrate bulls. Then she showed me her antique bull castrator. I got the message.
Ha! "Used to." I assume you're talking about the big snippy pliers looking thing? My grandfather used one of those until he passed just last year at the age of 96.
I mean that's hard to answer. Everybody has their take. I think you have to look at the ideology and metaphysics behind these movements, like Marxism and post modernism, maybe neo liberalism. And look at the academia that's teaching these ideas. BLM is straight out of contemporary universities.
Also, why do we lack the willpower to stop widespread looting? If we wanted, our military could conquer half or more of the world. We could stop this all in a day, easy.
So in my mind, you have to counter the ideologies with our own, you have to retake the institutions that are promoting this, but first we have to regain the will to do it.
I could not disagree more.

Hong Kong is the most recent proof of this!
That's not true at all
if you present opposition, back it up
Oh please- the artists and the gays aren't the first people to go.
Shill
It's happened multiple times throughout history. Russian revolution and in Cuba in the 20th century are two recent examples that come to mind.
Wonderful source you provided.
My mother in law has a succinct phrase she picked up somewhere that fits this to a T - "Kill one, warn a thousand."
That's some mother in law! Haha

I actually felt the fear in my balls.
Must be fun having such a based in law
Oh cool, you got that message too.
It's fun how boomers make vaguely threatening jokes like that.
I did the ole stand and stretch trick and showed that I was carrying my CCW during that conversation.
Suffice to say, I'm not dating that girl anymore.

Exactly.
You make an example out of the worst ones, and the rest fall into line real quick. (Because they’re cowards)
The looters are not the root problem.
What is the root?
