What have your riots in the EU accomplished, besides creating a mess and more expense to clean up?

As I responded in your other thread:

It have made people wake up and start discussing the problems the goverments is making....

what have your silence accomplished?
 Quoting: Muhajiir


Good point

however, I think two things are going on:

Life in the US has been slowly deteriorating...nothing acute, just a slow steady decline in affordability and quality of living

Therefore, there is nothing for people to organize around and protest against...it would be like fighting a slow encroaching tide

The other issue is that the population in the US is being bombarded with something - I can't put my finger on it - but it is causing many people I know to walk around in a dazed state. I've watched this increase over 15 years, where people I used to be able to have intellectual debatres with are now numb and seem to live just to come home, collapse in front of the TV and then sleep (badly)

Is it the proliferation of cell towers scrambling people's minds with ELF waves? Is it something in the food? Is it Haarp? I guess there are a dozen conspiracy theories for what is going on, but I can tell you it's there, because when I return to an area with a very small population, and of little interest to the economic planners, I can think more clearly myself

Don't expected dazed and zombie humans to react to anything....not even their own flesh being burned

Re: When/where will 1st Riot in US be?!
Well, there were the Watts riots, and the LA riots.

The first riot will be where the first real blood gets drawn. Isn't that usually how they start?
When is an educated guess, but with the unemployment and rising prices I wouldn't be surprised if it was this year.

Its easy to consider americans as lazy ignorant bastards. But of course that is a stereotype. If you travel a bit you find out there are all sorts of people in all sorts of places.

There are a hell of a lot of guns over here though. Which is a mixed blessing. Tyrants think twice, but the bullets fly thick.

I don't think, OP, that you understand just how terrified the American people are. They are scared shitless of their government, courts, police, the tax agency IRS.

For some years, and probably still, there were TV series on showing cops hunting down petty criminals. These were taped live, reality shows so to speak. And people sat in their living rooms and watched the cops brutalize their fellow citizens for minor crimes. The new generation of cops grew up watching those shows and wanting to be the brutalizers, the rest of the citizens learned fear by knowing what would happen to them if they stepped out of line.

I have said for a long time that Americans might start to wake up when they have lost everything and are fighting for a dry place to sleep under a concrete bridge. In other words, when it is too late.

You have to experience it to understand how terrified they are of their government.

Best explanation I've heard, best post in this thread...

I hope americans can look at Algeria and tunisia and Iran were real dictators rule with no respect for human life rule, and the people shit scared of being killed and tortured but still have rioted latly...

Violence would never work in America, the land of the free is ruled by an iron fist. Passive means would work but would be impossible to organized at this point. I'm sure TPTB would be more afraid of passive than violent means. Passive is very difficult to manipulate.

Re: When/where will 1st Riot in US be?!
Actually I think that the days of group action being an effective means of political change, violent or non-violent, are becoming a thing of the past. I think we are moving more into a realm of individual action. For a non-violent example, one of the most powerful actions a person can take is to stop participating in the system. Quit being a slave to consumerism and debt. Quit caring about the shallow values sold in the media, see through the lies of selling your life for a paycheck or a new car, quit paying taxes.

On the more active end, a few hundred people acting independently and autonomously to throw a wrench in the system wherever they can and then disappear could do a lot more than a half-million rioting all at once.

But again, it will take bravery to do either one, and individual bravery is not to be found in the US.

What was that line? From the poet Robert Frost perhaps? "Not with a bang, but a whimper."

There are riots all across the US right now. The controlled media is just ignoring them. All communication out of these areas have been shut down. No calls or emails can escape the black out.

Like all doom on GLP, people think it's going to happen suddenly, all at once. When in fact it's a gradual drip, drip, drip process.

People here have been predicting financial Armageddon, which just did not happen (unless you reflect on the last 4 years as a single time span).

A protest here, unrest there a punch up, a tasering, history will condense these things and place a date on them.

Living through history requires lengthy hindsight. 1990 will probably be seen as the start of the energy (oil) wars and the decline of the "The Great Coal and Oil Civilization" much like the collapse of the American Empire, British Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the Roman Empire, the Greek Empire, the Egyptian Empire, and on and on.

You are correct....It's called increments...they intentionally take away our rights incrementally....people bitch for a day or two but never really do anything about it...the people accept it, say that "at least it's not like some other countries" and set about to their daily lives....People don't realize that one thing leads to another. By the time they do realize and wake up, it will be too late....

Re: When/where will 1st Riot in US be?!
when a loaf of bread costs $7 or gasoline is $8 a gallon the sheeple may riot if they stop drinking the Government fool aid.

The sheeple will believe anything the Government says, just look at how they line up for the TSA to dose them with radiation and then openly molest them.

In the ghettos they will riot for sure when the welfare checks stop.

using sheeple doesn't make your better then "them"

Problem with America is that we don't throw rocks, bottles, and such, thus a riot would be a last resort.

 Quoting: m_astera


You might be talking about the gutless unarmed city dwellers who have willingly moved themselves into cages and are awaiting slaughter. They are unprepared, unarmed for the most part and will object at the very last minute and go screaming into the slaughter. The rioting will be mostly by gangs and no one will object when the military takes them out. The cities need cleaning up anyhow.

 Quoting: GirlGenius


No, I'm talking about everyone I know or read or hear about in the USA.

Or are you trying to convince me that after the city dwellers and the gangs are taken out by the military, then you will be ready and willing to live happily under the military rule? Or are you saying that after the military "cleans up" the cities then you will finally be willing to fight back, having lost the greater amount of your potential allies already?

The logic seems a little weak. If none of the shit that has gone down yet, 9/11, looting the nation for the bankers, two lied-for wars, teargassing and firebombing women and children at Waco, blowing up the Murragh Bldg in OK City to put the blame on the militias who WERE getting ready to fight back; if none of these things have yet been enough to get the American People to say enough, then I don't think much of anything will until it is far, far too late. They have taken the fight right out of you; I don't know how, but it is undeniable.

If you are talking about an anti government movement ,it could start any where but Vermont or new Hampshire will play a large role.I don't believe it will take much more. people are fed up with over spending and the cost of medical care already. Insurance has already seem a steep increase. All it will take is 4 dollar a gallon gasoline and a few percent increase in taxes and cost of food.
