    They always say it’s an “unprecedented moment”. Let’s not act like there’s actual American Nazis in the streets or riots. That has literally happened many times.

    It’s actually been the norm for a lot of US history. We live in an unprecedented time of peace where it’s actually uncommon for this to happen. They just last year set aside the convictions of 110 black soldiers who were involved in a riot. None of the white police officers involved were ever punished.

    Edit: these cosplayers are nothing. Do you guys understand that this shit used to happen all the time?

    That’s why this riot happened. The police were beating up black men who were soldiers in uniform for no reason. Torches? That’s nothing.

      You seem to be forgetting the actual torch lit rally which ended with an innocent woman being killed by a neo-Nazi. Remeber Trump calling them ‘very fine people’?

      And if January 6 wasn’t a political riot, what would you call it?

      Donald Trump was found guilty of rape. Nothing about this year is ‘normal.’

      How do you manage to avoid the pictures of actual American nazis in the streets and riots?

      Damn. I know housing is in full on crisis mode but that rock you’re living under to save money is stunting your development as a seeing, thinking human being.
