National Protest and 'disband the cops' discussion (please review page 1)

[frostyred]

Exactly! And you see this play out in other social settings, too.

It's the rioting equivalent to being the first person to bust a move on the dance floor after the music has started.

Fuck, empirical evidence as to why I'm the best person at parties

Did I miss this from the news cycle?

CRICKETS: Portland Antifa Attacks Local Police Precinct Before Vandalizing Local Businesses

Well shit.

Also, I guess Antifa in Portlandia planned something last night but Police Intel was good.

But I thought Jack was banning anyone who incited or otherwise advocated violence?

I must not be educated socially enough, but what am I missing here?

Either called himself, or the ball, a “faggot” when he missed the putt.

You have to listen close because he mutters it under his breath.

Explains it, was listening in an open area with a lot of background noise

Someone should call the course manager! He also wasn’t wearing a mask!

Here's an interesting article that examines riots as a group coordination problem.

It would be pretty nice if we could generally strip away the 'moral' (tribal) valence from our discussions of these kinds of things so that we can actually examine the underlying processes, then improve our systems (now I'm sounding naive!).

Interesting article & the rebellious few who lead the way is food for thought with the idea of the few who urge the disorganised rabble. This ignores Antifa & how well organised they were in 2019 recently. The Hong Kong protesters were similarly well organised, though their aim was different.

I have to say that the BLM/Antifa riots are really impressive with they are able to mass on "targets" in multiple locations across the country. Something conservative groups can barely do on one "target".

Remember the lone baton-wielding officer backing away up the stairs from an approaching mob that vastly outnumbered him?



In the original video, he appeared exactly as an officer getting overwhelmed by a mob that kept pushing, until this article indicated that he had deliberately incited the mob to pursue him by pushing the guy in front, repeatedly, to get him and the rest of the mob to follow him away from the Senate chambers leading the other direction.

A very ballsy and well-executed spur-of-the-moment crowd manipulation.

I hate that I know what this means, and I hate you for rubbing my face in it.

disclaimer: This is a joke, I don't hate anyone here on SS. I love even our resident heterodoxers, all of whom know who they are. Disclaimer for the drivebys, for whom this might not be obvious.

Should have seen the Hunter try and claim the helm with +20 strength all because it had +2 stamina compared to his current piece after the raid was over. The discord was lit.

"De-Militarize the Police, they shouldn't have armored vehicles." They said

"Yeah BOI, they arrested a Proud Boy!"

Also, what is a "Military-Style Knife"?

I assume a military style knife is either the famous “us knife” from SERE or the BFK bolt knife.

Oh, or maybe one of those sweet Spyder Co knock offs with a branch insignia etched into it somewhere.

Maybe he had a Swiss Army Knife.

So a military knife is deadlier than a kitchen knife? I hope I'm stabbed with the less lethal knife...
