    Is it more a less replaceable than the literal human beings who are dying due to the material conditions imposed by the state? A serious question for you. If the people dye because the government is not acting in their interest, it’s “regrettable” but when a building is burned, suddenly it’s MASS VIOLENCE. But not the state sanctioned starvation and abuse of the masses. That’s not violence, you see, because the state or corpos did it.

      You misunderstand me. I fully understand and support rioting, especially now. I have an 80 year-old parent stuck driving for DoorDash, in my car, just to survive. Historically violence has been a necessary component of opposing corporate control.

      I just wish they’d burn a fucking McDonalds or a Nike Store instead.

        Sorry, on rereading, I came in a bit hot. Others in this thread are wacky.

        Also yes. A McDs would be good. Or a bank. Or parliament. There are levels to it I think.
