Comment on When do we riot?

People will riot when they feel like they have nothing left to lose. Unfortunately, things have to get even worse and affect a very large number of people for us to reach that point. When you have nothing left to lose, you become very dangerous.

That’s why they don’t target everyone at once. They’ll remove the immigrants. Then they’ll wipe out the Trans population. Then gay people.
So long as a majority of whoever is left is comfortable or complacent, they can get away with it.

It’s the analogy about frogs in slowly boiling water. I don’t like sounding like an accelerationist, but I feel like if they moved harder and faster we would see more counter action. Like when ICE was all over Minnesota, but now that they are spread out and keeping a slightly lower profile, well, a couple of murders here and there, well that’s just how it is now so best keep your heas down and h#ad to work!
