And how about all the random violence that has not done anything to shape our society, Jessie?
I hate it when people say “it made me the person I am” or similar statements. What’s so great about the person you are, I always want to ask. Our society is fucked up. Whatever shaped it is not automatically a good thing.
Also, the meme simultaneously recognizes revisionism: that things can be viewed differently after a long time. But then it totally misses the point and says we should have riots NOW because of the revisionism we’ve done on previous ones.
There is so much fucking stupid here it makes my head hurt. And we’re supposed to read this and say “deep man, wow, you’re so smart.” Eesh.
I can do this all day. Not all riots are civil disobedience, my friend, and if you wish to argue otherwise you will have a tough day with me here. Start with The Tulsa Massacre - was that civil disobedience? It related to citizens and their concerns!

Ah well there’s your problem, you’ve changed the topic to something completely different.
I’m not the one conflating the two topics. The meme does:
Panel 1: “riots”
and then suddenly
Panel 3: “civil disobedience”
Sorry dog but “riots” are not “civil.”
“relating to ordinary citizens and their concerns, as distinct from military or ecclesiastical matters.”
That’s 3 times now that you’ve been dishonest and tried to misrepresent or misconstrue what was said.
