Riot Season 2021

it’s like 2020 all over again. covid, racism, covid, racism, lockdowns, protests, lockdowns, riots. how can people still be so easily manipulated by the media? seriously, it’s like deja vu. the mainstream media fear mongering about covid, then when people start to realize covid is bs, bring on the race wars! it’s like they keep switching back and forth covid and racism. mainstream media narrative is extremely toxic to USA. most of the riots stopped for a while after the election, and the focus was covid again. now people are really tired of all the medical tyranny, so here we go again, black criminal gets shot by police and all hell breaks loose. this was a horrific week of blm and antifa terrorism. and if they let them get away with it last year, it will probably be worse this year.

prediction: now that riots are back in full force, the cdc or whatever tyrannical government agency will say covid cases are going up again cause of all the protests, and we need to lockdown again. f**k, when does this nightmare end? honestly i don’t see things ever going back to normal, unless something amazing happens and the corrupt government is overthrown. one can dream...

Or an insurrection. One that justifies having the National Guard at the ready in DC and a newly-built wall around the Capitol, 'cause walls are a good thing now, I guess.

I call it the Anger Games. The sequels are Setting Fire and Mockingjoe.

Speaking of wall building... Biden has quietly been continuing construction of the border wall. He's even been buying up people's property to see it through.

Since DemRATS truly scared of losing power.
But as a story goes, the more they try to keep the more they sabotage their own efforts.

Is he really?
Very interesting. I admit that I've failed to keep up fully with politics this year outside of what is directly in my face.

Last I checked, the border crossing was more populated than ever since Biden got into office, so I suppose he had to do something. Very interesting though.

So "no walls!" except when plugging holes in it? As in... the whole purpose of the wall to begin with?

Why are you talking about "corrupt government" over the actions being decided upon, committed to and put into action by our regular population?

This is a personal power issue.

I feel the same way, pal. It's a non-stop ride on a horrible rollercoaster. I want off already.

Probably not as much "happiness" as being able to marry a 10-year old, or a harem of 10-year olds, no.

I mean, I know that's only in certain parts of the Islamic world, but still... YIKES. Just f*cking Yikes.

I bet the Scientology people sit around wondering how THEY didn't think of that sh*t for their little cu-... er, "club". "You mean we could've been f*cking kids AND oppressing women this whole time? Jesus, that L. Ron Hubbard asshole didn't think this whole thing through, did he? Our club sucks compared to that other club. We don't even have any songs! We need a do-over."

To be fair and transparent, my disdain for ALL religious institutions is about the same; I can respect how some people need faith and I acknowledge the possibility of a higher power even though we've never seen it, we can't disprove it any more than we can prove it. But as a rule, I despise all institutions and religion is responsible for more war, death and murder than everything else that's ever existed put together. "God" is the leading cause of death, globally, since the dawn of humankind. That's indisputable fact.

But I am especially skeptical of the religions that turn a blind eye at best, and openly advocate at worst, for stuff like f*cking kids and beating women to death. Just can't be on their side, call me crazy.

I mean the Catholics (of which I was baptized as, I just don't really claim it for what I hope should be obvious reasons) are into little kids, too, but at least they pretend to be shocked about it and don't actually put stuff in their bylaws making it "okay". And at least it mostly "just" seems to be the priests; "shockingly", odd stuff happens when you tell guys they're never allowed to f*ck women and then they spend all their time around little boys. "Oops".

Regardless, some stuff can't simply be handwaved away as "cultural differences".

And again, I'm aware "Not all Muslims", not in every part of the world, etc. Sure. A little plausible deniability is good for P.R. Still far too many and far too often for my comfort, though. Like, if you're part of a club and have to preface your involvement by saying, "I'm not one of those ones who's okay with f*cking kids or beating women to death, though"... you probably need a better class of friends. Just sayin'.

An expected answer from a brainwashed zombie.

Let me get you the news - for some people, like me, freedom is more than enough to bring at least some modicum of happiness.

And serving outdated rusty and moldy psychopathic deities does not bring you happiness. It is a simulation of happiness, where you replace parents with a deity and serve them, trying to compensate for the emptiness in your heart, caused by your complexes and failures.

An exception, rather than a rule.
The point is - religion breeds hostility and hatred.

********.
By this logic, USSR was the best country in the world, because, they've said so and had just rules.

Everything should be judged by reality, not by arbitrary rules, most of which are bend and ignored anyway.
In this case, if your club has the best rules, but continually breeds horrible people, it means the problem is at the core, at the foundation of the club, not with its rules.

You are a lot more...blunt about it, Sumac, but yeeeeah. When I read him say that freedom will never bring someone happiness, I just kind of side eyed, and made a face over it. I can't understand anyone, religious or not, wanting to sacrifice their freedom. After 2020, I learned that many, many people don't seem to care about their freedoms or rights. What a sad state of affairs. What the hell.

I mean, I really, truly believe in the "live and let live" mantra. Worship God, worship Satan, worship a moldy potato. I don't care. Just let the rest of us do our thing as long as it doesn't impair someone else's life. Is that really so difficult to do? Apparently, yes. The sheer arrogance of people who think they can actually control others' lives, ugh.

He lives in Russia, I don't think they mince words over there.

The ones that can talk, anyway. Sumac confirmed to me personally that 80% of the population and 95% or more of the government are bears riding unicycles. I asked, he answered.

But yeah the "not-bears-on-unicycles" tend to cut right to the chase, I gather.

II tired of hiding my true thoughts.

In my own country, right now, if you say truth you can get 15 years in jail. So, I take this opportunity to be true to myself, where I can. And, because, of that, if fictional monster worshipper tells me that I must sacrifice everything who I am just to appease fictional psychopath or a tyrant or a Twitter rainbow-haired pedo of -xir gender - they can instantly **** off to whatever hole they had crawled from.

How many Muslims have you met? I don't think its an exaggeration that if you met even a handful, the vast majority would not approve of pedophilia and beating women to death.

That is unless you think they're lying, which I don't think they would do if they are open about their opposition to other parts of Western Culture like Homosexuality.

I've lived many years in Pakistan, and nowhere in Islamic school are those things prescribed or turned a blind eye. Recently there was a case in my family friends of a man severely beating his wife, and the whole community shunned him for what he did, and handed him over to the police.

I don't know what news or media you consume, but I think it definetly influences your perception.
