The message of a protest is "we don't like this".
The message of a riot is "we don't like this, and we're able to do something about it".
People who unconditionally call for peace and calm, regardless of the provocation, don't fundamentally understand how politics works in the real world.
They do understand that the purpose of politics is to provide an alternative to violence, but that's as far as their understanding goes. They don't think through the implications, usually because they are quite comfortable with things as they are.
If politics is an alternative to violence, then politics is a proxy for violence.
And that means you have to dole out power in proportion to capacity for violence. Or someone's going to figure out they can do better by flipping the table.
Monarchy wasn't replaced by democracy because of fine-sounding philosophical ideals and eloquent documents declaring this or that.
Democracy happened because if you added rifling to the flintlock firearm, suddenly a individual farmer with a tube was the pinnacle of military technology, and now you had to keep all the farmers with tubes happy by giving them political power.
(Ancient Greek democracy had a similar relationship with the hoplite warrior.)
When political systems work well, for a while, the violence they represent becomes further and further from people's minds, and those who can't effectively commit or direct violence worm their way into power, and begin to take it away from those who can.
And they'll defend their position by saying that violence is unthinkable, barbaric, always bad, must be disavowed at all costs, etc.
This isn't some sort of high-minded principle on their part. It simply means one of two things. Either "the status quo works for me, so I don't want you to upset it", or "I suck at violence, and I don't want to have to fight".
They want young men demoralized, so that their artificial meritocracy of spreadsheets, or their non-meritocracy of patronage networks, can be protected from the natural meritocracy of conflict.
This means that riots aren't actually for achieving any specific material aim. They are for reminding the comfortable that judges and bureaucrats and policemen have home addresses and families. And that violence is always on the table.
A protest would only send the message that the Irish don't want to be ethnically cleansed. But the bureaucrats and judges and lawyers already know that. They just don't care.
A riot reminds them that they have to care, because the Irish have a long tradition of doing something about it.
I just want to make it clear: Elijah took a ghetto mudshark, known for fucking Blacks, and said, “Go to this trial and be based.”
Used the clip of her saying the N-word to blow her up and get attention for himself, repeating some tired bullshit
THEN START A $50K FUNDRAISER FOR HER
Austin Metcalf fucking died, and you can’t help but think, “How can I monetize this?”
You sent some mud shark with a rap sheet to go instigate and pretend she’s a “totally normal” victim, then run a fundraiser for her. Not for the family of the DEAD KID. No, for the girl who you sent there to do exactly that
Woe is me, I sent my dumb bitch to say the n-word, now people are mad at her, give money!
Zero respect for Austin, his family. For anything
It’s so morbidly despicable. You can’t succeed otherwise, so you do this shit. You don’t give a damn about the dead kids we lose. It’s a game to you for self-indulgence
It’s so repulsive. One last GriftTV episode instead of raising your kids. What do your children think when they see their dad trying to scam people and trying to fuck these 20-year-old sluts?
Setting them up to be vulnerable and get abused just like you. Sick freak. I ignored this because you’re a fucking lunatic, but this is beyond the pale
What you’ve done to so many people is evil. I pray that God answers our prayers and you get what you deserve for the evil you’ve brought into the lives of innocent people and into the life of your family
Utterly reprehensible. It wasn’t enough to spit on and use your own family, you had to do it to someone else’s. Never once stopping, “How can I be a better father?” Instead, asking, “How can I use my actions to garner sympathy? How can hurting my children benefit me?”
When people say “the movement.”
What fucking movement? This is the reason I got into politics: to stop wickedness like this in the world.
