Politics thread (USA Elections 2016) - Page 263

Maybe a month ago RikD posted about how great it would be to live a simple life without employment and being a wage slave. I suggested he become a panhandler so he could be his own boss. Loco called me a ridiculous person for suggesting someone should choose a lifestyle that would open them up to potential violence just because they posted something I didn't like. But if Andy Ngo posts something Loco doesn't like and then is the victim of actual violence that causes him to be hospitalized with a brain hemorrhage then that is just him getting what he deserves. What a ridiculous person.

why be a panhandler, you can be your own boss, and busk on the streets doing something with pride, i.e playing the violin or something. Money can be pretty decent if you play in the right spots. I know rikd made pizza's at some point, I've personally found that making pizza's brung me happiness when i'm trying to improve on it and master the craft, under my own control. Working in a small pizza business that has some pride in pizza making is fine too. Domino's and bigger chains turns people into souless zombies, you can see the unhappiness in the eyes of many people working there. But in small pizza joints, i've noticed the employee's are on average a lot happier as most of them have chosen this life out of a desire for that specific work, rather than doing it because they needed money and didn't know what else to do.

There's a pizza place collective in Berkeley that I go to regularly that is co-owned by all the workers and they share in the profits. I don't know how happy their workers are but their pizza is fantastic. They only sell 1 kind of pizza per day; you can't customize it at all. The line is always around the block so they must be making bank considering how efficient it is to make hundreds of the same pizza and hand them out for $22 a pop.

The problem with busking is you need some kind of talent to perform and your income probably depends partly on how good you are at that talent. It makes me wonder if a really shitty busker makes more or less money than someone with just a sign asking for a handout.

The problem isn't the pizza, Rik think he likes doing pizza but he hates the job, he thinks he likes painting, but he doesnt enjoy painting either, now he uses the bizarre scapegoat of capitalism but obviously that isnt the problem either, the problem its in him

strogg what you're talking about isn't pizza specific clearly

Bend the knee, or else!

I wonder if these people go home at night and pat themselves on the back for facing the "violence" from this white woman with the same courage that the civil rights protesters faced the fire hoses and attack dogs.

They couldn't be doing more to get Trump reelected even if they tried

riots in Kenosha getting out of hand:

I'm really amazed how many of these protesters are willing to stand in front of cars or charge people with guns. I really don't think there are that many suicidal people willing to martyr themselves for this cause so I can only conclude that they actually don't think these people are actually going to run them over or shoot them down. It's kind of ridiculous when you think about it because their movement is predicated on the idea that these are dangerous white supremacists fascists yet at the same time they seem to think they are so harmless or peaceful that they would dare to attack them while they are holding guns and still not expect to get shot. It's just like how LeBron James says this most recent shooting shows why black people are terrified of police. But the video shows the guy nonchalantly refusing police commands while they have their guns drawn on him. If you're really terrified you're going to stop what you're doing and obey. Either the guy wanted to get shot or he really didn't think the police were going to shoot him.

Also the videos above show what everyone with at least 2 brain cells to rub together already knew: violence begets violence. It's a shame that the antifa apologist Loco doesn't post here anymore so he could learn that conflicts almost always escalate and why you don't go around believing that throwing milkshakes at people is harmless

"shoot me, nigguh" - get's shot. LOL.

I saw the full stiched video but I can't find it, anyway this is what happens in the vid:

- the "shoot me nigga" guy in the red shirt is now wearing it on his face and throwing molotovs, he throws one at the shooter, who is a 17yo kid.
- people chase the kid (its unknown why on the vid), and they corner him between cars, when the guy in the red shirts is at arms lenght lunging at him, the kids shoots him.
- the kid screams "call 911", and he seems to call himself standing next to the injured guy, many people are seen rushing towards the scene so he runs again.
- People start chasing him for about 300m and the skater dude toss his skateboard at him knochimg him down
- *events on the 1st video I posted happen*
- Skater guy gets shot in the chest and dies
- The last guy pulls a handgun (hard to see in the vid) and gets shots in the arm and his biceps is blown off.
- The kid has been charged with double homicide.

And this kids is why normal countries have hard restrictions against guns ownership

I wish I had a gun when violent mob throws molotov's at me and tries to bash my brains in with a skateboard. This kid seems to be a true American hero.

You must be coming across a lot of angry mobs in Finland

You missed the part when the guy with the handgun fake surrendered put his arms up.

Hard to say if he was doing all that perhaps he was simply scared but he for sure pulled his glock and tried to shoot the kid with the rifle in the head.

It's a shame there isnt a video of what triggered people chasing after him which makes the difference between self defense and murder, although him staying calling 911 and trying to run away from people and then turn himself to police shows its likely he didn't have bad intentions.
