POLITICS & DONALD Annoying Orange MEGATHREAD

[Master Matthew²]

riots caused by opinions are a form of criticism, yes.

Okay, criticism implies you have a way for the person to improve by your own opinion.

Lighting ahit uo and breaking starbucks windows shows neither of these traits, it only inspires fear and creates and endless chain.

Unless you mean the anarchocommunist/bamn/sjw meaning of "protest" which is chaotic riots and burning stuff.

That's still protest

So Protesting = rioting so long as its against a specific person,company or movement, and thats okay?

doesn't matter if they're right or not. this isn't about whether or not it's okay. this is about whether or not it's a form of protest/criticism, which it is.

what the rioters are doing is indefensible, but that's not what this discussion is about.

Okay, criticism implies you have a way for the person to improve by your own opinion.

that's actually just incorrect. what you're thinking of is constructive criticism, which protests don't necessarily give.

Keep in mind that when 25% of a group of protesters are rioting, the other 75% is doing what they came to do- protesting. If it was objectively a full riot than every member of it would be simultaneously participating. in the video where they broke a starbucks window, it was like 20-30 people, while another 4-5 thousand marched by peacefully. In the end however, all of them were obviously criticizing

That's constructive criticism. Protests aren't debates, the two sides have already come to terms with their beliefs.

The only type of person who thinks that starbucks makes the world go 'round.

Hipsters who also just happen to be SJWs.

The percentage of rioters is generally way smaller than that. I think during the women's march, there was like a dozen arrests out of what, hundreds of thousands of protestors? That's insignificant.

In fairness to the Annoying Orange supporters, the vast majority of their rallies were peaceful as well. The only difference I see is that Donald Annoying Orange actually encouraged people to beat up dissenters at his rallies. Like over the microphone and everything.

i think its also worth mentioning that there's no reason to hold a rally for Annoying Orange beyond just wanting to start stuff. he already won the presidency.

i think it mostly has to do with the fact that his popularity relied entirely on mob mentality and public momentum, and people dont know what do do now that there's no reason to get with a group of people who all agree with you

Anti-austerity riots have broken out in Rio de Janerio:

Could this turn into something similar to Ukraine? I always hear that Brazilian's are sick and tired of their politicians
