IF someone were to start destroying your house (or your neighbors), and they didn't do anything else "threatening", are we supposed to just stand there and watch them do it? Some people will say to just call the cops... but what if the cops said they weren't allowed to interfere? Would you let everything you own get destroyed? Leftist intellectual commies don't believe in private property rights so this question would be confusing to them and they would be unable to follow your thinking. They'd think the scenario is impossible given the society they desire. And the situation is purely hypothetical. 1

B-Man Posted November 20, 2021 Posted November 20, 2021 (edited) I remember the summer of 2020 clearly. Vandalism Is Violence: Destructive Riots Are Not ‘Just Property Damage’ Property rights are human rights, and we discard them at our own peril. FTA: Riots have also rocked cities such as Austin, Texas, and Seattle, Washington. In Seattle over the weekend rioters reportedly set fires, vandalized businesses, smashed car windows, and assaulted a court building. NPR reports that 21 police officers were injured while trying to contain the chaos. So how can anyone justify this madness? Well, many left-wing journalists, activists, and commentators who are politically sympathetic to the rioters have argued that rampant destruction isn’t really a problem, because it’s “just” destruction of property, not violence against people. One person who makes this argument is Oakland-based “racial justice organizer” Cat Brooks, who was interviewed by the New York Times. “I don’t consider property destruction violence,” Brooks said in defense of the rioting and vandalism in her city. “Violence is when you attack a person or another living, breathing creature on this planet. Windows don’t cry and they can’t die.” Meanwhile, New York Times writer Hannah Nicole-Jones, founder of the controversial “1619 Project,” has also defended the destruction of property and argued that it doesn’t constitute violence. “Violence is when an agent of the state kneels on a man's neck until all of the life is leached out of his body,” she said. “Destroying property, which can be replaced, is not violence. To use the same language to describe those two things is not moral.” For example, one recent article in The Nation headlined “In Defense of Destroying Property” drew viral attention for openly arguing in defense of vandalism. “People are not objects; broken windows and burnt cars are simply not commensurate with the violence of state-sanctioned murder,” wrote Columbia University Ph.D. R.H. Lossin. “Plateglass windows don’t bleed. They don’t die and leave loved ones grieving. They don’t contribute to the collective trauma and terror experienced by their communities. They just break, and then, at some point, they are replaced by identical sheets of glass.” “Disavowing property destruction and even theft because of a spurious attachment to a reified notion of nonviolence is a mistake,” Lossin concluded. If you want to understand why America is getting more violent, listen to this Oberlin prof. A similar piece in the left-wing journal Current Affairs likewise argued that “Destroying property is not in and of itself a violent act.” It is, of course, true that a rioter smashing a window is not morally equivalent to a police officer standing on an innocent man’s throat, but this is a strawman argument. (No serious person ever suggested otherwise). Moreover, these arguments rely on a false distinction between grave acts of vandalism and violence. In reality, destruction of property does real harm to innocent people. And if allowed to continue, the collapse of rule of law that started with property destruction begets a cycle of lawlessness that will inevitably descend into bloodshed. Indeed, it has already. As famed Austrian economist Ludwig Von Mises put it, “It is in the nature of every application of violence that it tends toward a transgression of the limit within which it is tolerated and viewed as legitimate.” Not convinced yet? Just consider the sad news reports detailing how police officers found the remains of a burned body in a Minneapolis pawnshop that was torched during riots as demonstrators cheered. Vandals may have thought what they were doing was “just property damage”—in reality, it was murder. Sadly, this isn’t a one-off example. During the riots in the wake of Floyd’s death, at least 15 people were killed. How? What started as merely “broken windows” and “torched cars” escalated into mass violence that left police officers, private security guards, and peaceful protesters dead. It’s simply impossible to keep a collapse of the rule of law constrained to “just property damage.” Moreover, it is deeply immoral and intellectually bankrupt to suggest that property destruction does not constitute “harm done to people.” Vandalism is also itself a violent act that violates human rights. And remember, it wasn’t just big corporations or CEOs whose properties were destroyed in these riots. Many of the post-Floyd riots destroyed minority-owned small businesses. https://fee.org/articles/vandalism-is-violence-destructive-riots-are-not-just-property-damage/ Edited November 20, 2021 by B-Man 1

He is mocking you because you called Eddie Murphy a white supremacist, but you think I should feel shame? Do you work for the Orlando Sentinel because a few years back they literally printed that a friend of mine was a supremacist due to posting stuff mocking rioters, she was quickly able to shut it down since she is the great grand child of slaves on both sides of the family but I am sure that is not enough proof for you.

I did not call Eddie Murphy a white supremacist. The sign he’s making is now years after he made filmed that. I’m sorry you’re an idiot but please try to keep up with the grown ups. A post was made saying how the sign is a white supremacy sign. He doubled down with a gif with the same sign, why are you defending a white supremacy sign. While your SAT score is probably below 200 please look at yourself and understand he posted that gif knowing it was a white supremacy sign 8 minutes ago, LeviF said: So you’ve read multiple posts where that sign has been demonstrated to be associated with white supremacy and so you thought hey wow I should post this. I don’t know if you’re an idiot or well yea you’re an idiot. Id like to propose a ban again…. The guy knows this is a white supremacy sign and posts it again
