Not putting up with bullshit, that’s what they’re doing.
By looting?
This is always a disingenuous argument against protesting. There will always be opportunistic criminals that take advantage of these situations. It’s doesn’t take away the fact that protest and a national strike are the only actual power people have against the ruling class.
I’m not worried about Walmart losing money on looted TVs when cooperations are part of the problem and are run by the ruling class. If it’s a small business, hope your shits insured.
The only problem that most often it is the smaller stores that get looted because they can not afford the security measures of the large coorporations.
Is that true though? Do you have data on that? That's not what I've seen. They looted Louis Vuitton, is that a small local store?
The only problem is that most often these responses are made up.
I would love to read statistics about this. Do you have any pointer I can read?
Criminal gangs do tend to take advantage of these situations and use it as cover. Same thing happened during the London riots.
