Seen a slow-mo video of that incident. I'm not buying it.

The guy was doing some shady shit with his phone and wanted to be pushed. He braced himself on the fall and immediately blood starts pooling. I have no sympathy for a man looking to agitate cops during this.

proof you can have all the education and opportunity in the world and still piss it away. it seems lefty privilege that gets thrown out extends across all boundaries *LAUGH OUT LOUD*

Are we really at the point where we're retroactively making Somali pirates "good guys" just out to protect the local ecosystem?

This is even worse than the "they're stealing flat screen TVs for social justice" take.

You missed the part where all white men are slavers and genociders
Nice IQ

The part I like the best is that they turned to pirating "to protect their ecosystem" 13 years before they knew the problem existed. :/

Seems you can take the folk out of the 3rd world, but can't take the 3rd world out of the folk.


Yeah, I know that's not true of everyone, but it's true of a lot.

You definitely leapt to the wrong conclusion there.



According to surfpunk's link:





I have a book suggestion for you: https://www.amazon.com/Guns-Germs-Steel-Fates-Societies/dp/0393317552

I think I'll stick with the wikipedia info, in this case.

Cuz convenient...

Arguments like that are just seeking to retroactively justify an obvious act of unjustified aggression by tying it into some perceived social wrong that the offenders didn't give a fuck about in the first place
Somalis never cared about dumping in their water, they became pirates opportunistically because they had guns and boats and lots of valuable shipping went past their shores
Just like the Barbary pirates might have once quoted the quran to thomas jefferson as saying it is the duty of musselmen to plunder and enslave whitey, their real and obvious motivation was just greed, their excuses after the fact.
And when the looters today plunder liquor stores and targets, they aren't giving a shit about George Floyd or police brutality, they're just taking advantage of lawlessness to take what they want

their criminal acts of aggression aren't justified by rolling in their victimhood, no more than I could cite all the various ways my ancestors were oppressed at some point in time as an excuse to rob a bank

I've read books longer than you've been alive. But that wasn't what I meant. I meant I'll take wikipedia over the articles Surf linked.


/e And no, it wasn't convenient. It was like 25x longer. I did read Surf's articles as well.



/ee



Yeah. I think that's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna run around destroying my own country because of the oppression my ancestors had to deal with.
