Mihail Pojarsky/looting
The current left has degraded to the point that they cannot pronounce the word "expropriation", which is why robberies in the United States are called by the simpler and more bashful word "looting". However, what they mean is clear: they say, this is not a robbery, just the poor and oppressed compensate for their well-being and restore justice.
But here they write [1] about the results of the mass riots of the sixties and seventies. This is not about the peaceful protests named after Martin Luther King, but about the riots, which then also abounded. Studies suggest that the riots led to a drop in the total value of urban black-owned property by about 10%. Which led to the growth of the economic gulf between blacks and whites.
After three years of unrest in Baltimore, the city has never recovered. Destroyed areas are not really restored. There is still depopulation going on. Who suffers the most from this? The same black ones.
There are interesting nuances. During debauchery, pharmacies are robbed. The psychotropic substances then end up on the black market. Increasing the level of drug use among blacks and enriching black gangsters who kill their fellows.
The left loves to talk about how racist and sexist jokes lead to real violence, so "free speech" is a relic of bourgeois society that should be banned as part of the class struggle. Indeed, researchers using the example of the Baltimore riots found that tweets with a moralizing justification for the riots did a pretty good job of predicting real riots. That is, literally some snowflake scribbles on the Internet that looting is the norm, and then the inhabitants of black ghettos then get robbed, arson and a long-term drop in living standards.
They also write that the riots of the sixties seem to have played a serious role in the fact that Nixon became president, because. set up in favor of establishing "law and order" a lot of neutral people. So, the current American liberals with their "looting" have every chance of re-electing Trump.
