I just want to say that i cannot understand why the above kind of “discussion” is allowed to exist on a website like this, that supposedly has some serious purpose. Whoever is supposed to moderate here, please delete the whole fucking comment section. I promise to light a candle as a show of condoleance for the few genuinely intelligent comments that will end up as collateral damage.
Most of the comments that even /try/ to be intelligent fail, due to making idiotic strawman assumptions about other posters’ viewpoints, and/or using too convoluted expressions to be understood right by anyone else than the one who wrote them. Some of these comments have some actual content somewhere in the mess, but that content is half lost already anyway, so it’s not so tragic collateral damage.
People here seriously need to learn to read what the poster they are responding to writes. People here seriously need to learn the meaning of good faith, and to adopt it as the basis of debate. People here seriously need to learn to focus on the subject and not on their egos. People here seriously need to learn that witty irony, or wit-free fucking-around humour as the case might be, is waste of space/breath in 99,9% of cases. That waste of space/breath is Ok e.g. on websites devoted solely to providing no-lifes with virtual so-called fun (4chan etc.), but it’s fucking out of place in the comment sections of thoughtful pieces of analysis on important issues.
The article was interesting.
]>Since 1998 there have been 333 deaths in police custody and not one single conviction, which previously promoted a Guardian piece warning the police are not on our side and a movement by the masses to remove the media barons and the feral elite from power. When you add that context to the brutal execution of a black man and the beating of a 16 year old girl by 15 police officers at a peaceful protest — a story that has been scrubbed by the corporate media — you get anarchy in the U.K. which has now spread across all of England.” sources : The Guardian

Today’s episode of Democracy Now! actually has some truthful coverage regarding the shooting and the reactions:

I agree, the Guardian and other coverage has been absolutely reactionary and disgusting.
Consumer idiots uphold the value system of the state and it’s up to the rest of us to hold the filthy empire accountable and to fight and destroy their daily destruction around the globe.
Help each other to WAKE UP!!!
