a combination of external factors beyond the governmental control, the aftermath of short-sighted energy policies, the aftermath of even shorter-sighted deprioritization of public education, cost of living crisis on top of that and heavily biased fiscal policies on top of that and some good old government corruption as cherry on top.
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.
I used to look up to France for their ability to come together and rebel again against the unjust.
Can someone tell me what they’re doing over there?

Not putting up with bullshit, that’s what they’re doing.
By looting?

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?
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?
Criminal gangs do tend to take advantage of these situations and use it as cover. Same thing happened during the London riots.
