The side that believes those things will view any protest that way if they didn’t already believe in the cause, no matter how peaceful it is. The sacks of shit looting really don’t move the needle on public opinion and as long as they stick to mega corps they are still the least of the problems.

Also the police everywhere on the planet routinely will infiltrate protests and start shit like this to do exactly what you have described, there truly is no way to have a meaningful protest without things getting ugly.

And finally…why must everything that ever occurs during a protest be blamed on the protesters and the cause? Why are any looters automatically assumed to be part of it and not just opportunistic pieces of shit or even straight up agitators and saboteurs?

You are part of the problem here, whether you realize it or intend for it.

Good, it gives small businesses a chance to compete. The people can support local instead.

Lmao open a history book

Actual people rarely use the same insurance companies that the major corps use, sure some genuine small businesses will get mixed up in it but majority of them are with the small time insurance companies.

For the most part it will only affect the regular people if the government provides subsidies and bailouts to the insurance company, which is a practice that needs to end or at least come with the caveat of forced removal and investigation of all leadership positions from board to CEO to management as well as turning the company over to the employees.

The giant corporation…I think you need to re-read their comment. They don’t care about any losses for major corps (honestly a fully reasonable position) but condemned theft or destruction against businesses owned by regular people.

In this situation two major corps suffer loses, that’s a win for the common folk.

Lol no gta game had good writing, 4 was the closest but even that was pretty shit. It was about the humor and satire, which is why the radio shows were better than the missions generally.

The US government is down to one branch and the current president released information about how he was guzzling a previous presidents cock…I’d say they’re fucking themselves.

Would be fucking hilarious if he flipped back to being a Democrat, there’s no dissonance strong enough in all existence to keep the magas dipshits head from exploding over something like that.

Yeah even fucking Xbox have had a built in LFG system for over a decade. I’d say Epic only views a launcher as a tool for data and revenue collection but considering how many years it took them to make a shopping cart function I can’t even claim that. They are just fully inept at absolutely everything.

You also need a fully open and transparent government, any information being classified top secret or anything of the sort means you cannot have a democracy. No secrets can be allowed, ever. And really the only way to reasonably guarantee stuff like that is to make officials surrender all privacy related rights for life, just permanent publicly open insight into every aspect of your life, past, present, and future if you want to pursue office. I’d argue for attaching 24/7 live streamed cameras to them during their time in office as well. Obviously this would only currently work for rich countries with obscene military expenditures, like the US, but if the big guys were to do it then it would eventually be safe enough for the rest of them.

I want to see your reaction to Skordalia lmao, fucking like 90% garlic with a wee little tater all mashed up.

It’s f2p, nothing but lame ass skins to buy. I have not played the mod yet but plan on doing so after I get bored of the new Star Wars racer.

The core of the game is actually good, there is a lot of fun to be had if you like skating but holy shit playing the live game is painful and this seems to fix most of that.

Knots I get but I’m too ignorant for the cheese grater bit.
