BLM did not just loot Philly you fucking liar. I know because I live around there and I’ve been reading about the story you’re referring to all day. Fuck off with that bullshit, the cops themselves say that the looting was by opportunists that were unconnected to the peaceful protests that were going on the same night.
Oh my fuck, blocking an exit to a property with a bunch of scabs working on it is not equivalent to blocking a major highway where the closest exit is to the only hospital in the area. You are absolutely defending the corps when you continue to make the style of arguments you make. Get real.
Doesn’t matter if it’s a main road or an exit to done. It is still likely illegal.
You are confusing my logic in thinking that these UAW protesters should be protecting themselves with your logic of thinking I’m defending the corporations.
The UAW protesters should be protecting themselves. They are already putting themselves on the line with the protest. They shouldn’t put themselves in more danger just so they can be taken out of the fight.
Try to think rationally, educate yourself on the real world and how it works.
And before you say “JuSt UndErsTand bEtteR” “it’s nOt my fAuLt they aRe dUmB” consider who’s the one making a case here and who’s responsibility it is to speak your own points clearly as possible.
I’m fucking awful at wording how I feel sometimes about a viewpoint I have, but just giving up on conveying what you’re trying to get at…. I mean what’s even the point in speaking your mind in the first place then you know? Obviously the way you worded it wasn’t clear enough to convey what you mean, just try again.
Don’t stand in front of oncoming cars if you don’t want to get hit. Don’t be a dick and run people over.
Is that simple enough for you?
Or is reading comprehension not your strong point?
Edit: I apologize for that last line but It’s quite frustrating trying to express a valid and correct point accurately and concisely while consistently being shit on and insulted. Even after going back and reading the several different comments I made, it is pretty clear what I have been saying. Both parties are at fault. I don’t see how it could be misinterpreted to me just straight up blaming the protestors.
Learn how to control your outbursts and your life will be infinitely easier my friend. I’m right there with you, look at my post history too.
You’ll catch more flies with honey than vinegar. There’s all kinds of gadfly’s swarming about on this platform, keep in mind you might appear like one to others. Everyone should be ignoring them or calmly and concisely squashing them anyway. Don’t wanna get squirshed _
Maybe because they were standing in the road blocking an exit?
Did you even bother to read the article, or can you, like everyone else here apparently not quite understand that YOU SHOULDN’T BE STANDING IN THE FUCKING ROAD AND EXPECT TO NOT GET RUN OVER!
DRIVER SHOULD BE IN JAIL, IDIOTS SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN IN THE FUCKING ROAD!
Ill join you on the downvote boat. Protest all you want, but they were blocking a exit, not an entrance. They were not blocking people from working, they were blocking them from going home.
Protests should not impede traffic.
Protest without civil disruption is impossible. There’s many many examples of this throughout history. I wish it weren’t necessary, because yes I know things have become so bad under the current capitalistic economy that even a few hours or a day can make/break livelihoods, but it is necessary if we as a society want to have any hope of reclaiming power from our corporate and governmental overlords. They’re simply too entrenched and empowered in comparison to those they abuse at this point to fight with mere words alone.

I think they should block more roads
Effective protests are disruptive.

Block early, block often.
Leave the disinfo peddlers, bigots, and trumpers with no one but each other to talk to.
It may not have been BLM specifically but the pattern and motives are exactly the same. I’m not the only person making that connection.

Do you understand hiw picket lines and striking work or are you just missing the fundamental knowledge base?
Do you understand that breaking the law while protesting could be more detrimental to the people that are protesting for better pay and a better life?
I’m not defending the corporations in any fashion. I’m simply noting that it could risk their numbers in doing so.
Edit: added a missing “s”

You’re missing a whole lot more than just an s.
Fuck off. Your inconvenience is not worth more than their livelihoods.
And you are putting words in my mouth.
I never said it was an inconvenience.

You are taking out of both sides of your mouth. “They didn’t have been run over but they had it coming!”
More putting words in my mouth.
Good job.
Explain yourself differently then?

BOTH ARE WRONG, BOTH ARE TO BLAME.

I suppose it makes sense that you’re less likely to listen to people if you feel like you are being shit on and insulted.
…
Maybe if you weren’t shitting on and insulting people they wouldn’t come at you with a similar attitude.

“Protest all you want, just don’t do anything effective.” Gotcha.
The refrain of piece of shit pearl-clutching reactionaries everywhere.
