Rival violent factions fighting over turf is exactly what happens in shitholes like Somalia. Now it's happening here. Yay.

The only shithole here is the one your shitty editorializing is creating.

I'm using she in the generic sense, which you obviously knew.

"She" isn't a generic, which you also obviously knew.

Ah, but would you if you had the power to do so? My experience says a resounding "yes".

Lol, then your experience is just as bad as your editorializing, since you don't know me, and have literally zero idea what I'd do.

OK, can you make the case this is not two gangs fighting over territory?

Absolutely. For two gangs to be fighting over territory, both gangs must want territory. BLM doesn't hold any territory, and isn't interested in "holding territory". Therefore, this cannot be two gangs fighting over territory. QED.

Another one: for two gangs to be fighting over territory, one must have two gangs. BLM is not a gang. Therefore, this cannot be two gangs fighting over territory. QED.

I've got more if needed. :)

Sure it is. She is in use as a generic pronoun, and this happened quite some time ago.

have literally zero idea what I'd do.

Sure, I have a very good idea what you'd do. Hard left types always censor, it's their go-to move. It's as predictable as Republicans lowering taxes.

BLM doesn't hold any territory, and isn't interested in "holding territory".

What do you call the territory in Seattle they seized? "Now leaving the USA" stated the border control signs.

This is an invasion of Crips territory. Which BLM/Antifa clearly knew before going in.

BLM is not a gang.

If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a duck.

If you like, you can call it a revolutionary organization. Same thing, really. Warlordism is what happens when the state loses its monopoly on violence (c.f. the war on police). The results are always horrible for everyone, and the people at the bottom of society get hit the hardest. It's true in Somalia or any other shithole country that this happens in, and now it's happening here.

Check my comment history, both here and on Reddit (where there's 8 years of it). I'm anything but a leftist. Hell, I think this might be the first time in my entire life that I've been called a leftist.

Either way, that's still a baseless assertion and assumption, which has no place on Saidit. Low on the Pyramid of Debate, and all that.

What do you call the territory in Seattle they seized?

I call that "not BLM territory", because it wasn't BLM territory. Also, I can put up "Now leaving the US" signs in my living room, but that doesn't mean you're actually leaving the US, now does it?

This is an invasion of Crips territory. Which BLM/Antifa clearly knew before going in.

I mean, sure, but that's not really relevant here, since BLM doesn't walk like a gang or quack like a gang. If you've got evidence to the contrary, and not a bunch of made up bullshit like your entire thread has been so far, I'd love to see it. I must admit I don't have high hopes, though...

If you like, you can call it a revolutionary organization. Same thing, really.

How the fuck are the Crips a "revolutionary organization"? I think that's giving them waaay too much credit.

Warlordism is what happens when the state loses its monopoly on violence (c.f. the war on police).

But since that's not happening, it's completely irrelevant to the conversation. The police have zero need for the militarization that's been happening over the past few decades, and a 70-90% cut to their budgets is exactly what we need to limit their power appropriately and restore the people's faith in what are supposed to be their protectors.

The results are always horrible for everyone, and the people at the bottom of society get hit the hardest. It's true in Somalia or any other shithole country that this happens in

I mean, sure.

and now it's happening here.

Ahahaha, lol no it's not. [citation please], but I'm not holding my breath, because I'd die of asphyxiation faster than all the people the cops murder do.

OK, I think it's pretty obvious by now that you're arguing dishonestly. I'm not going to argue with you any more if you're going argue in bad faith like this.

Nope, it's not. Feel free to summon a mod or an admin if you feel that's the case, and we'll get their take on the situation.

I'm not going to argue with you any more if you're going argue in bad faith like this.

You're free to disengage if you're unable to support all of the baseless assertions you're making, of course, but your inability to support your position doesn't make my argumentation bad faith.

Either way, be better. I'll be monitoring /s/all New, and I guarantee I'll call out anymore bullshit that you post just like I've done here.

I think it's important to note that Chipit never has a word to say about colonizing, empires, and corporation. Some times its all about what is not being said.
