The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Another great feature is that democrats can't come out and say "Don't riot, that's just wrong".

I’d prefer “Don’t riot because that’s exactly what Trump wants you to do so he can send in the National Guard and then the Marines- which is exactly what both the governor of California and mayor of LA have been saying. Unfortunately, a crowd that has had flashbangs thrown at them and rubber bullets fired at them is not often in the mood to turn the other cheek. Their cause is righteous but their tactics are immoral and play right into the hands of the greater immorality- Donald Trump and his flying monkeys who were aching for the chance to post on the ‘violence of the left”.

The right is intentionally committing violent acts against people they hope to provoke into committing violent acts in response to the state violence being directed by Trump in LA.
