    Where are companies inciting riots though? This seems like an attempt to claim rightful protests against police and governmental corruption are just criminal rioters.

      Wall Street protests had cops in civi clothes inciting shit. Easy guess who is paying them to risk their lives for stupid shit.

      Depends really. Protests make sense, riots cluld make sense, however these riots always seem to be on the streets of the average person, this cpuld be blamed on mob mentality, but it is interesting to me, who doesnt like to get conspiritorial, that these riots end up fucking up infastructure of the average person, and destroying smaller businesses, and not in the yards of the mega rich who help these systems stay in place, and who benefit from them. Then since it ends up hurting the average person, we all keep fighting amongst each other, and the people who benefit from corrupt systems dont have to worry about us fighting them.

      Depends on if you consider all the right-wing protests (and mass shootings) to fall under the “riot” category.

      I guess the only reason they’re not turning into riots is the people in charge of stopping that sort of thing are the ones marching in the protests.

        Those have been debunked for years.
