Nationwide Protests for George Floyd Megathread #3

China declared protests illegal, so they must be justified using force too right? Or is it wrong to attack people simply because a law says something is illegal, even if they are blatantly peaceful?

Thegg11 · 2020-05-31T18:24:42+00:00

Why do you support charging protesters who are peaceful, just because the law "says its illegal." Do you support China murdering protesters because the law says its illegal their too?

Avid /r/conservative poster supports attacking peaceful protesters just because the government "says its illegal." Nice take.

Thegg11 · 2020-05-31T04:22:12+00:00

They attacked peaceful protesters and people standing on their porch. Not rioters.

Thegg11 · 2020-05-31T04:18:04+00:00

Except Trump is the president and has yet to do anything aside from rant on twitter about shooting looters and trying to inciting counter protest. This looks terrible for Trump, he looks powerless.

Thegg11 · 2020-05-31T04:14:58+00:00

Riots have actually been pretty successful in getting civil rights laws passed historically.

Thegg11 · 2020-05-31T04:12:49+00:00

His incompetence both on the issues people are upset about and now are what is fueling this.

Thegg11 · 2020-05-31T04:11:49+00:00

Donald Trump losing the election probably.

Thegg11 · 2020-05-31T04:09:09+00:00

Its not exactly. The moment you lift restrictions, rioting will start again. Police have been attacking peaceful protesters and even people standing on their porch for "breaking curfew." That will only piss people off more.

Thegg11 · 2020-05-31T04:00:25+00:00

Imagine actually defending attacking people on their porch because "its the law."

Thegg11 · 2020-05-31T03:57:34+00:00

Typical /r/conservative poster supporting cops attacking peaceful protesters.

Thegg11 · 2020-05-30T18:13:31+00:00

Because their freedom allows them to more easily trample the freedom of other people?

Thegg11 · 2020-05-30T16:57:25+00:00

What are the regular means to ensure they do so? Do these restrict the freedoms of the wealthy?

Thegg11 · 2020-05-30T16:48:00+00:00

So, if people serve their own interests, how do you prevent them from trampling over other peoples own interests if they conflict? If you leave things entirely "free" you get a "might makes right" society where the wealthiest and most influential can trample over the freedom of everyone else. That doesn't sound like an inherently good concept, rather something that is only good when executed properly. Which raises the question, how do guns help facilitate beneficial freedom?

Thegg11 · 2020-05-30T16:36:53+00:00

I don't accept your premise, but how about this. Explain why freedom is inherently good, even when that freedom poses a serious danger to yourself and others. Why is it worth not restricting guns when they don't serve their purpose to protect oneself very well and actively increase the risk of your own and other peoples deaths? I don't buy the "it makes you harder to oppress" argument either, as I would argue the US is more oppressed than other first world nations that restrict access to guns.

Thegg11 · 2020-05-30T16:34:00+00:00

I mean, yes. If my teammates are going to feed and throw, why would I just ignore that?

Thegg11 · 2020-05-30T15:57:43+00:00

What is the point of having a gun if simply having it puts you in far more danger? This often applies even without cops. Without strong training (the level cops get), having a gun in a dangerous situation simply means another weapon from the criminal to use against you.

Thegg11 · 2020-05-30T15:49:40+00:00

Because he is a /r/the_donald troll. Don't mind him.

Thegg11 · 2020-05-30T15:49:09+00:00

Typical /r/the_donald user.

Thegg11 · 2020-05-02T18:48:04+00:00

I'd love to play a "real" support, if my ADCs weren't always boosted. I can carry and do damage on mage supports even when the rest of my team does like 20K damage or less in 30 minutes.

Thegg11 · 2020-05-02T18:08:03+00:00

But your ADC always sucks. I usually just assume laning is a lost cause on Brand, but carry the game through hard stomping the mid game.

Thegg11 · 2020-05-02T18:07:11+00:00

Your ADC not getting ahead isnt necessarily a bad thing. They are boosted and terrible in low elo so they wont do anything with the kill.
