FTA: “Looting is a highly racialized word from its very inception in the English language,” Osterweil said in the NPR interview. “It’s taken from Hindi, lút, which means ‘goods’ or ‘spoils.’ ” “Destroying businesses is an “experience of pleasure, joy and freedom,” she writes. Osterweil also insists it’s a form of “queer birth,” and that “riots are violent, extreme and femme as f – – -.” Looting isn’t wrong, she claims, but rather a form of “proletarian shopping.” https://nypost.com/2020/09/06/the-evil-idiocy-of-in-defense-of-looting/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_medium=syndicated&utm_campaign=partnerfeed

Israel prevents Palestinians from gathering rainwater? Seems wrong on so many levels to me

“taking property that belongs to someone else, often by force” Democracy “is wrong”
Your statement makes no sense. But i’ll humor you, so what system exactly do you think is better then Democracy? A dictatorship, a monarchy, despotism? As a note I didn’t mention Democracy in my post, that’s important and you’ll see why later if/when you respond.
