I'm assuming you're talking about the video that was circulating on Twitter. But yeah, it feels like the violence is escalating by the day. The entire country is a mess 1

No it does not that's a internet myth. How did Singapore overcome the European colonization and super pass the GPD per capita of UK?

Let me guess, you are a white French man 💀

I understand getting angry and disapproving of their actions, I don't condone them either. But also calling for the police to shoot them is not the serve y'all think it is, which was what my original comment in this thread was about. But am I shocked the reactionaries of ATRL jumped on my throat for what I said? No.
AMIT Posted July 2, 2023 Posted July 2, 2023 Not someone trying to say neocolinization is an internet myth.
Aethereal Posted July 2, 2023 Posted July 2, 2023 A large proportion of those who are burning and looting innocent people's property will be held accountable whenever you like it or not.

In fact, I've quoted every single one of your comments in this thread up to that point, and not a single one of them was in any way about "shooting" the rioters. In fact, there was only one person who advocated for shooting the rioters and he got immediately downvoted and not a single other poster agreed with them. Why are you lying about things that are literally immediately verifiable for anyone with working eyes?

Things escalated from my 2nd post though, about the police/shooting thing. I'm also struggling to find your point in this post...

(chinese tourists) Why don't you go and ask them? or try and get to know the specifics and nuances of this issue from more educated sources? I'm not an expert and I'm not claiming to be. Quote do you support that? For the 100th time, no, of course not. this is objectively a bad situation all around, it's awful, sad, disconcerting etc I'm not trying to excuse them, I'm not a sociopath living for this mess because I enjoy seeing people suffer ffs. But calling for more police violence is also not the course of action here, don't you agree? Maybe if people had their material needs accounted for by the people claiming to represent them there would not be a will for brutal reactions such as this, it's basically the same thing back when those retirement reforms were implemented. People are fed up and they have every right to be. That doesn't mean I agree with how they chose to proceed or think any of this is good.

I guess Germans didn't get used to leeching off their colonies and developed a good work ethic during the 19th/early 20th century which carried them to present day. Also French colonialism didn't end when its colonies became "independent", they've still been doing all sorts of shady stuff in much more recent times to be able to keep benefiting from their former colonies.
