Don't point that out, Whitey gets upset.
There's this really cute Pug on Facebook, honestly the cutest pug I've ever seen, and I love following personal pet pages generally but the owners seem to feed it McDonald's all the time and that's just ****ing depressing, poor Pugs have it hard enough with their breathing like don't stuff them full of cancermeat too, jesus wept
But if I commented something about it on the page I'd just get loads of people going "OMG ITS JUST A PRANK BRO DONT SHIT ON OUR FUN!!"
Dumbass mother****ers if you really gave a shit about dogs you wouldn't endorse them eating carcinogenic obesity-epidemic burgers and bald-ass head reducing fries
Originally posted by Bashar TegI see where the video is coming from but it still propagandises the incident for its own political uses. Kind of a 'Here's how you should feel about this' kind of video.

Originally posted by Bashar TegYeah I feel bad for them, they have such awful respiratory problems and often die young. I'd adopt one though, try to give it a decent life for however long it lived
pugs were bred way too far. dogs are proof that we already played god long ago, and did an okay-ish job, but really need to learn restraint.
Originally posted by Bashar TegWell of course they haven't been labelled terrorists, they aren't organised and have no political ideology. You need both of those things to even begin to be labelled a terrorist organisation, mostly the ideology part (as you can get lone terrorists, such as the Nice truck driver).
well yes it does add a converse political narrative to the fact that white folks were traditionally destroying shit because they were too goshdarn happy, and have not been popularly labeled as "rioters" or "terrorists". i don't see philly fans on any terror watch lists presently.
The media at large did portray the incidents as a riot, despite the violent incidents being few and far between: http://www.philly.com/philly/news/eagles-fans-super-bowl-celebrations-riots-mayhem-20180206.html
However, it's still very different from the riots you and the video are comparing it to: https://edition.cnn.com/2014/11/25/us/michael-brown-stepfather-video/index.html
Drunken revelry in a crowd of 100,000 people with some incidents of violence (which, sadly, is expected when that many people are out on the streets, look at the many peaceful protests that get ruined by violent individuals or groups destroying property) is quite inherently different to commands of "burn it all down".
Like I say, I get vaguely where the video is coming from, but it is very selective in how it chooses to put its message across, to the point of weakening its own argument when put under scrutiny.
I essentially have to say the same thing to Surtur: the incidents aren't necessarily indicative of the people in the street at large. Surt often uses antifa violence at otherwise peaceful protests to suggest that people on the left are just plain violent. I disagree when he uses that tactic and I'm disagreeing with it now. I consider integrity to be more important than the political point-scoring games that people play.
it's nice to see a new article which properly labels their actions, however the fans were not generalized as rioters, and the distinction was drawn between typical fans and "vandals" as fox news called them. i'm fine with that.
as far as "burn it down", really a weak point to make since it was uttered by a mourning brother who felt that a member of his family was murdered with impunity. so to generalize that as marching orders to an entire movememt is just ludicrous and only plays into surt's intellectual dishonesty campaign.

i do get what you mean about political motivation being required for a 'terrorism' label, and you're correct. didn't mean to brush that off but the rest of your post was just idk
