The financial toll of the massacre is evident in the $1.8 million in property loss claims — $27 million in today’s dollars — detailed in a 2001 state commission report.

Oh wow!

(The Center Square) – Gov. Tim Walz is requesting financial support from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) after rioters damaged half a billion dollars worth of public and private property after George Floyd was killed while he was detained by Minneapolis police.

Yeah, they should probably stop putting a $ amount on it. More pathos less logos.

FWIW, plugging property values into a generic inflation calculator is idiotic.

Journoids gotta crank out about 30 of these articles a month. You think they've got time to think about shit like that?

You think they can think?

Daily reminder: journos arent human

Although to be fair, that money could have grown over time due as an investment. Assuming it may have done so beyond the rate of inflation (very likely), it's impossible to put a solid price on it.

But that half a billion in damages want their fault.

I really don't know why leftists keep on focusing on race instead of class, it's much less alienating to rur*l whites

Because they hate ruralcells with every fiber of pizzashill's being.

Yeah, that's because they hate working in general LOL

I mean they are shite. So are other poors, tbf.

If you lower your standards, you get more applicants for the cause. There's nothing wrong with basic labor economics.

Unironically, read Uncle Teddy's work, particularly "The System's Neatest Trick". The tl;dr is that trying to rebel against capitalism in any meaningful way is not what the system wants. Instead, all rebellious urges are funneled towards pseudo-revolutionary causes that the system actually wants, like anti-racism and, recently, anti-ableism. The only true rebellious thing in this world is being anti-tech.

Uncle Ted's criticism on both the Left and the Right are still spot on today.

Uncle Ted really is the radical centrist of terrorists, isn't he?

hates the left and the right

hates bigotry and efforts to fight bigotry

hates Anarcho-Primitivists despite being an Anarcho-Primitivist

loves Carling

simple as

The conservatives are fools: They whine about the decay of traditional values, yet they enthusiastically support technological progress and economic growth. Apparently it never occurs to them that you can't make rapid, drastic changes in the technology and the economy of a society without causing rapid changes in all other aspects of the society as well, and that such rapid changes inevitably break down traditional values.

The leftist is anti-individualistic... He is not the sort of person who has an inner sense of confidence in his own ability to solve his own problems and satisfy his own needs.

"The only socialist movement that has any chance of success is that which has purged and keeps purging all leftists"

t. uncle Ted, probably.

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿preach it brother!

What this also shows is this type of politics - fixated on cultural identity - poses no threat whatsoever to institutions of authority. To the contrary, they love it. It's easily coopted, and the liberal obsession with this stuff means they're not focused on how power is wielded:

The kind of person that signs up for the CIA because they're "inclusive" is the kind of person to have their cover blown because they'll whine about some shit only an American would complain about.

While I’m sure they’re looking for blue hairs to be mindless data entry Npc’s, 🚂s would have experience trying to be something they aren’t

The CIA is a fake institution that doesn't really do anything but take the blame for stuff the organizations that don't actually have names do. You can put whoever you want into the official CIA.

Pretty much. There are 16 (14 if you don’t include more famous ones like the FBI and NSA) other intelligence agencies that we know of in the USA that are never mentioned in public discourse

Seethe on, Glenn. Seethe on.

Pizza is right, though he didn't explore the broader issue - the final burgerpill is the realization that all americans are personal autonomy fetishists, regardless of their claimed political affiliation, and it has been that way since the country started.

personal autonomy fetishists

So you disagree with "my body, my choice?" I'll see you in court, pal.

Bc a key characteristic of being woketarded is having daddy issues. Blue collar whites exacerbates this.

Because they hate white people 💅

Because they are rich and know that dunking on white people will never hurt them and only hurt the poor whites. And literally no one cares about poor white people. People generally don't care about poor black people either but at least poor black people's approval is worth political capital, where are poor white people liking you is liable to lose you an election.

I have a folk evolutionary psychology theory that rightism is an adaptation to conditions of relative external danger (consider the psychological traits of a successful zombie apocalypse survivor band, they are all rightist, from the love of guns to traditional gender roles to religiousness to focus on purity (both sexual and food-related) to even the weird attitude to the army), while leftism is an adaptation to conditions of relative safety, where you are less focused on the survival of the tribe and more on outcompeting fellow tribesmen.

That naturally leads to attempting to win elections and whatever else social power competitions by the narrowest possible margin so as to alienate and then oppress as many people as possible. It's a feature, not a bug! It also explains the characteristic leftist infighting: whenever a leftist brain notices that it has more than 150 people on their side it goes uh oh, we are actually in control, it's time to splinter or force people out. (btw it was an r followed by a slash here that triggered the robojanny, it's for the best though as using slashes is what dweebs do)

I don't know why people always say shit like this. Rurals are every bit as race-obsessed as the most rabid of twitter wokie, just in the opposite direction.

"leftists" as you say focus on race because politics is primarily based on identity in America and there is almost no existing class consciousness in the country.

Until anti-idpol leftists wake up, smell the roses, and realize they aren't going to recruit a bunch of rurals into some plebian vanguard based on economics, they'll keep losing.

The American elite has succeeded in completely erasing class in this country, and this isn't even a new thing. From pretty much the very start this is how America was.

Pizza your knowledge of rural cels is a a YouTube video, don’t try so hard

That's weird because I grew up in rural America, my entire family is made up of rural America.

Half of my family is made up of coal miners from the god damn mountains.

But they don’t love u, why u going act like u know them

Ha, nice one, but you can't fool me. Mountains can't exists because the world is flat.

Reminds me of how I met some socialists in real life in college in like 2009/2010, and I asked them (well more like trolled them) with basic ass bitch talking points from Marx's and Engel's very own communist manifesto

stuff like no open borders, you HAVE to work (yes, in USSR, if you didnt work, you get forced to work. or die. thats an option to), and other mainstream ron paul talking points. even traditional family stuff

anyways im stupid i just want a cute centrist gf that is more into hobbies other than fake and gay "muh revolution" against neoliberal capitalism which they all love (cough cough Destiny)

gf

ban

He wants a fe(male) gf so its ok

If she identifies as a man does that make it bussy?

Get the help you need bro.

No

Deep in my poasting history I was arguing with some r slurs about taking the notion of “human rights” that people “deserve” to its obvious conclusion which is virtually anything can be considered a “right” that people “deserve”.

The article was some Reddit frontpage garbage about “deserving” happiness and happiness being a human right that should be guaranteed by the state and I was like “ok then what about state-mandated love and companionship” and the redditors lost their fucking minds over that.

Girl says a bunch of things you see on stupidpol every day and you're beside yourself lmao

stupidpol finds her pretty controversial, dont know what youre talking about

If you look at her number of tweets per day you can see she is verifiably insane

Ngl I went through some of her tweets and fell in love a lil

lol, shes got no chil, I lol'd hard at this

Dude she's been banned from Twitter so many times because of takes like this. And she keeps coming back. Truly the Queen of drama.

muh queen

Where'd you get that photo of me? 😒

gussy OUT

Are you sure this isn't a train? I'm having trouble believing this is a woman. Everything she's posted is actually clever.

This woman is going to attempt to commit a mass shooting within 5 years

Nah, she'll be too busy creating her 700th account after a ban. She's a dramatard at heart, should be modded.

Good, more 👏 female 👏 mass 👏 shooters 👏

💅

Feel like shit, just want her back

Aussies are so cucked on gun rights though :(

Naw, she gets her satisfaction from triggering libs, that won’t get old anytime soon

I love Aimee so much <3 Drama queen.

I don't know anything about the Amy Therese mythos or if she's a real person, as if its one of those things that everyone is in on but me and I care about it exactly enough to post here to see if anyone will fill me in but won't be disappointed if they don't.
