One of my friends is very proud to have been arrested during a BLM riot. Flash bangs, tear gas, all that. Now he brings it up as some sort of arguing point: "YEA WELL WHERE WERE YOU?"

So they all got arrested and had to stay outside all night while being held. Today im talking to him and he claims they changed alot. He brought up "all those convictions" but only one cop was convicted last year while over 200 were killed. Then he mentioned Aubery who was murdered in Alabama, but they were private citizens not cops, and there was literally video of the murder. Naturally he didn't seem to take that fact well.

Defunding didnt happen much either. Is this just a liberal brain trying to convince themselves theyve done something useful? Because nothing really changed after they dragged Bernie away either.

if it helps, they also think only red fascism has existed and theres never been a successful communist country.

    My libertarian roommates believed:

    • Antifa had taken over an interstate highway specifically an elevated portion where the speed limit is 75mph. They were killing anyone driving a truck and setting horses on fire.

    • Antifa was storming the courthouse of a rural cattle town without a DSA chapter or SRA member

    • Antifa was going to storm a literal one stoplight town and destroy all of the small businesses, which mostly consist of terrible restaurants and crystalmom shit. No orgs and it's essentially an evangelical colony.

    • Antifa was stealing countless cars for some reason

    Their solution to this was Kyle Rittenhouse shit. One wanted to stand in front of small businesses and defend them from Antifa, crying while he said this. Those small businesses wouldn't hire him because he's a felon and functionally illiterate. The other wanted to drive around with guns waiting for Antifa to try to carjack him.

    Genuine children. We need a hunger games for libertarians where the winner is shot in the head. Right in the fucking head.

      Thank you, I needed the term "crystalmom" to describe that particular species of gift shop which seems to be the 2010s pawn shop equivalent.

        Some of them take it to the MD level and become crystalmomologists. They can cure every disease with the power of rocks.
