So who wins from this election time? The Dems are too close for comfort to this crazy lefties. Trump's handling of everything is disastrous. Who do they vote for?

Personally i think more drama is coming to America.. US is no different to any other place, i.e. the larger the youth unemployment number the bigger the chance of riots etc. SA is not very different to this global trend but we've had the 'easiest' time around the chaos than any other country in the same situation.

Slap on the racial stuff they still haven't fixed and yah.. expecting things to happily fix itself is wishful thinking but hey, lets see if they can pull of a few more decades. I'm betting on a war before end of year to distract as Trump is failing to do so with worlds over the last 12 months.

Youth unemployment is a major issue. However, youth unemployment in the USA was averaging 8% pre Covid-19.

.

South African youth unemployment is hitting around 50% (pre-Covid-19). There is very little comparison imo. And SA's figures are not comparative in any way globally.

So you think you are a towering intellectual?

Listen, vigras, I was talking about you and your knee-jerk reaction. I don't think I am anything. I am really good at what I do, but I am not the smartest person I know. I try surround myself with far smarter people than myself. If you think wanting fair and balanced response to racism is pearl clutching and that I am not a towering intellectual, that's your opinion, and you are welcome to your opinion.

Either argue my points, or leave me alone.

You are very angry. You might need to work on that.

I hit you in the face for no reason. How do you stop me?
Started with a violent act, with a knee on the neck. Protestors have used that as the genesis of all this. As with mass hysteria such as this, it all goes out of control.

Some places have managed non violent protests.

Not angry enough to go burn down buildings, steal or punch someone in the face. I think we are good. I am not angry at you though. I still stand by my earlier post.

Is De Blasio's daughter
a) Russian
b) antifa
c) white supremacist
d) Trumpster

Anyone know?
(P.S. I think it's his daughter. I'm not transphobic)

I think her dad was blaming Trump for the riots last time I checked. I can't keep up.

Piles of bricks have been pre-placed in areas before violence breaks out. In the middle of a riot, driving into an area with a pile of bricks is not possible. Would love to know more about this. These communities know who these people are. Fighting against efforts to coordinate violence and use violent mobs is pretty scary. I think Antifa has been left for a bit too long.

I'm a horrible lefty and yet I haven't burned anything down either...

Nice chatting though, and I really mean that.
