Who’s condemning people torching warehouses?

As far as I know no one died, so 10/10 no notes.

Should have paid a living wage

Ah yes, EngelSterben, spokesman for all leftists.

OP's post said liberals, not leftists

[–] stupe@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

It still stands, no matter the label. One person saying something or doing something doesn't speak for the whole group.

17 people saying they agreed kind of does though. Not to mention all the Lemmings who also say shit like that

It's just a random Reddit thread but it sure does prove the point.

Besides "Best" Liberal EngelSterben there's also "Top" Liberal BigCBaller

Playing Monday morning quarterback is so much easier and less risky than suiting up and actually tossing around the pigskin yourself.

I think most people don't want the responsibility of power. But, somebody's gotta lead. And what usually ends up happening is power goes to be people who want it, but those people often want it for the wrong reasons.

Edit: my brother and I have been working on a project for better leadership. We're hoping it will be a resource for anyone looking to build better, more resilient communities, as doing so will require quality leadership. We call it the Sane Leadership Circle. It's going to be a comprehensive guide on leadership, based on actual research. Right now we just have the substack, but we're going to be building a website soon. It will be like a leadership wiki.

What is a "where are the revolution" liberals? Aren't liberals generally opposed to revolution?

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 weeks ago

It's a reference to Contrapoints tweet from a few days ago

[–] silverneedle@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

Liberals did some pretty sick revolutions in the 19th century

It's just one warehouse. Everybody, calm down.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

One warehouse, a mall in the same town, and another one on the east coast (yesterday I believe?)

It's starting. And I'm so glad it is.

It’s starting. And I’m so glad it is.

If the window for something society-changing is still open, it sure is about to close very soon. Political action has been that of individuals with grudges lately, there is still no indication of a mass movement of workers with radical demands.

The first warehouse..get angry, active, radical. Follow suit.

Eat the Fucking Rich

One warehouse at a time, one Tesla, one fucked return with rocks in it, any one thing a person/revolutionary/advocate can think of at a time. Then the next.

Even the context of the video is on damn point.
