Nearly three years after the George Floyd incident, let's take a moment and assess the impact of the riots that followed. YouTuber Actual Justice Warrior created this video (17 min): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igaNHN9UDWY&t=926s
Cliff notes:
- Pre riot and current photos of buildings/sites show extent of destruction to Minneapolis, almost indistinguishable from wartime photos
- Many cautioned that the riots would result in the environment that was allegedly created by systemic racism; that is, it didn't exist before but it did after the riots
- Martin Luther King (MLK) riots had the same impact on Detroit; Rodney King riots had the same impact on Los Angeles
- Cities impacted by riots suffer comparable property damage to natural disasters (eg hurricanes), but don't recover as quickly due to the immoral nature of the riots in which innocent people are targeted
- The theme of Marxist style tactics of forcibly destroying non black business with the express goal of creating black owned businesses was present in the 1992 LA riots, albeit unsuccessful
- Minneapolis is experiencing all time high homicide rates
- Trevor Noah gem: "What good does it do to loot Target? Well, how does it help you to NOT loot Target? Answer that question."
- The $2B property damage figure associated with BLM riots only represents insurance claims; 75% of businesses are under insured and 40% of businesses have no insurance at all; actual cost of BLM riots are more than $2B
- Crime is driving the poverty, not conservatives, police, white racists, white supremacy, etc. And who drove the crime? Democrat politicians and elites, BLM organization, MSM, "comedians", etc.
"A white former police officer convicted of manslaughter after mistaking her handgun for a taser and fatally shooting Black motorist Daunte Wright in suburban Minneapolis in 2021 was released from prison on Monday, CBS Minnesota confirmed."
Zersetzung, which translates to “decomposition, corrosion, undermining, biodegradation or dissolution” was a psychological technique used by the Stasi, which was the East German secret police. These techniques were used to silence political opponents. Up to 10,000 people are estimated to be victims, and at least half had irreversible damage.
Zersetzung operations were designed to intimidate and destabilize opponents. This was achieved by psychological methods like socially alienating a victim, subjecting them to repeated disappointment, and disrupting their relationships with others. The goal was to destroy a person’s self-confidence and self-esteem.
Every operation needed to be done in a uniform, supervised manner, and the results had to be documented. It wasn’t until the 1970s when it was defined in terms of a “scientific method.” Other methods of zersetzung included espionage, opening letters and listening to phone calls, trespassing on private property in a threatening manner, manipulation vehicles, poisoning food and using “false medications.”
