VOX editor unironically supports violence, property destruction, believes america is not great

I am telling you right now that America is not great.

Let's be clear: It's never a shame to storm the barricades set up around a fascist [Donald Trump].

Advice: If Trump comes to your town, start a riot.

"hello fbi"
"yes hello a man from twitter is trying to incite riots on the internet"
"my. god."

(note: this is a federal crime: see https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2101 )

Property Destruction Is Not Violence

https://twitter.com/emmettrensin/status/738584415169740801

It's very simple: All violence against human lives and bodies is categorically immoral.
Property destruction is vastly more negotiable.

That's the kind of rotten, fascist, disturbing, radical journalism that gives online columnists a shitty name.

its suprising how a company with 400 people and 100+ mil users still ranks only in the thousands on alexa

gawker's most popular wing, lifehacker, only ranks in the 300s, and the rest of gawker is in the 900s

considering there were thousands of people in san jose who mobilized without organization, i'd say more than a few people would be willing to go along with such a thing

it doesn't take that many people to start a riot

once again, a pretty profound amount
journalism, even minute criticism, can have astonishingly significant impacts on every day decisions
maybe someone (notably one that does not support trump) who read this wouldn't go out and start a riot themselves, but wouldn't be exactly opposed to being a part of one put in the setting, despite how they may verbally oppose it in any other circumstance

most people arent inclined to murder but its still illegal for someone to go out and order people to kill in a public forum

HAHAHAHA HUFFPO WHAT ARE YOU DOING

LOL JFK

" It’s not liberal politicians or masses that historians identify as the spark underlying the modern movement for LGBTQ equality"

How about the lawyers who did all of the court work

Interest groups get things done by changing public opinion and by going to court all for rioting criminals to try to take credit
