I've been lurking here quite a while, so yeah I have been hanging out here. I know you're not white supremacists and racists, and I never accused you of that.
Yeah the promotion of free speech and free expression here was the reason I figured I'd make this post. Got banned for it though. Guess the mod just thought I came here to accuse you of random shit.
Yeah that's certainly true. They should have come forward and denounced the violence, if they had any sense. I don't believe it's not the protesters doing the rioting, but it's just a subset of the protesters. Just like probably only 1% of the cops is bad, but that's still a lot of cops so a lot of video footage, if only 1% of the protesters is bad you've got a shit ton of rioters who are going to destroy entire cities.
And that's precisely the reason why I'd like an open conversation with people from the other point of view: precisely because I'm only seeing liberal drivel in my country. I like to get both sides, and then form an educated opinion, instead of only seeing one side and basing everything on that.
I'm not British, I'm Dutch. But I'll be sure to relay your message the next time I'm going to hang out with the UK intelligence services.
I'm not British either. I'm Dutch. And yeah we definitely have our problems here, the BLM and Antifa protests are actually going on here as well, on a much, much smaller scale though. A man who was simply standing near some of those Antifa cunts and said he didn't agree with them was beaten and kicked to the head.
Anyway, it's not so much a question of me "worrying" about US politics. More so that I simply want to get both points of view instead of only seeing news through a biased lens.
Yeah that's true, Antifa and the violent arm of the BLM protests should get arrested. Antifa is actually in my country as well, and they beat some guy over here for simply standing in a square where they were protesting and not agreeing with them. Fucking assholes.
Well this kind of shit.. https://twitter.com/Phil_Lewis_/status/1268715306261909507. Or this: https://streamable.com/14ig2p. If people riot, then I agree they should be severely punished. But these people, especially the elderly man, just seem harmless..
Why is it so wrong that I'm trying to see both sides as an outsider? I only see the media in my country, which are biased, and Reddit, which is also biased. I want to get the whole picture. I don't understand that I was permabanned for this.
(other account, as I was permabanned for asking this question...)
That makes sense. Reddit doesn't show those police officers actually being targeted and killed, they only show the point of view of the protesters, but browsing this sub I saw that police are being targeted as well.
No, he says “I’ll BE Joe Biden.” As in, he won’t be a sanders, he won’t be warren, he’ll have his own policies and his own position on issues. “I’ll beat Joe Biden” also makes zero sense in the context, whereas “I’ll be Joe Biden” makes perfect sense.
I think twitter is having some trouble. I couldn't load it a couple minutes ago, but now I can. And for as far as I can see, the man isn't reaching for the cop's belt, he's got a helmet in one hand and what I think is a phone in the other.
Well, the arrest isn't the strange part. The strange part is that it's cops in an unmarked minivan arresting a woman while noone has any idea what's going on, the cops refusing to say where they are taking her, and the cops saying "if you follow us, you will get shot". I can imagine the woman in that situation was fearing for her life as it might as well have been a kidnapping instead of an arrest, looking at how the police acted in that situation.
