there really isnt anything wrong with looting, its just doing what makes sense. much worse crimes are perpetrated daily in the name of financial gain.
it's a double standard to ask that people consider the wellbeing of their community over their own wellbeing when there isnt a business entity on the planet, or at the least in this country, that values a community over its own wellbeing

its a situation where you can take something for free, with no consequences. if the shopkeeper or police cant stop you, thats their problem. the people looting did not create the system that puts them in direct competition with their neighbors, theyre just behaving within it the only reasonable way they can. they dont have the resources to engage in financial crime or real estate speculation, so they take a pair of nikes when they get the chance. its just the way things work

pretending that there's malice involved when there isnt is just fairy tale bullshit.
there isnt any malice when the richest people on the planet break the law to make money, so assigning malice to poor people who do is just brainless moralizing. a tiger doesnt hate deer, it just eats them. you dont have to like it, but thats the way it is. if you can get away with a crime that will improve your life, it's stupid to commit it. that's how capitalism works fundamentally.
it doesnt matter who theyre looting from, because consideration of the wellbeing of others does not factor in. you could say the store owners would be justified in protecting their own material interests, and id be inclined to agree, but fundamentally it is capitalism that is putting the interests of these groups opposite each other

Reminder that the author of this book, which was shilled on NPR, describes itself as "a queer Jewish anarchist". Yikes. I think anyone who is hip to these issues would guess that the author was a Person of Schnoz given the last name and topic, though.

Also, some choice quotes from this book:
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/09/there-no-defense-looting/615925/
> Looting is good, she says, because it exposes a deep truth about the great American confidence game, which is that “without police and without state oppression, we can have things for free.” She came to this conclusion six years ago, and in her book, which is written “in love and solidarity with looters the world over,” she defends this view as ably as anyone could.

>The “so-called” United States was founded in “cisheteropatriarchal racial capitalist” violence. That violence produced our current system, particularly its property relations, and looting is a remedy for that sickness. “Looting rejects the legitimacy of ownership rights and property, the moral injunction to work for a living, and the ‘justice’ of law and order,” she writes. Ownership of things—not just people—is “innately, structurally white supremacist.”

>The rest of the remedy is more violence, which she celebrates as an underrated engine for social justice. The destruction of businesses is an “experience of pleasure, joy, and freedom,” Osterweil writes. It is also a form of “queer birth.” “Riots are violent, extreme, and femme as fuck,” according to Osterweil. “They rip, tear, burn, and destroy to give birth to a new world.” She reserves her most pungent criticism for advocates of nonviolence, a “bankrupt concept” primarily valuable for enlisting “northern liberals.”

>But Osterweil’s great class war has only two sides, so a working-class Korean woman is effortlessly enlisted on the side of the white-supremacist cisheteropatriarchs. Osterweil quotes a communist magazine: “Just as Jews were in 1965, Koreans in 1992 were ‘on the front-line of the confrontation between capital and the residents of central LA—they are the face of capital for these communities.’” As explanations of communal violence go, this is contemptibly inane.

You know actually this person's life actually contradicts a central claim of anti-Semitism, namely that Jews preach degeneracy to their racial enemies while maintaining traditional attitudes in their in-group. I first came to this line of thinking as I observed a bunch of affluent educated Jewish boys getting high and listening to basketball American music at a festival. I also knew an affluent leftist Jew from the suburbs that went to an Ivy that now identifies as a woman and only exists on facebook. It seems that diaspora Jews partake in all the same anti-social activities that they seek to inflict on white goyims, so at least they're consistent.

That only really applies to issues related to the existence/legitimacy of Israel. I don't think you could accuse Jews of being "trad" in practice, they just have a tendency to engage in anti-white activism out of resentment or fear of future persecution (I think Gilad Atzmon called this "pre-traumatic stress disorder"), or because they think it's good for the Jews.

Yeah, that's why I think radical anti-Semitism is only justified if the political progressivism of Jews is actually cynical and a part of racial power politics. That is what /pol/ thinks; the Jews are secretly eugenicist right-wing racial supremacists and use progressivism as a weapon against their enemies. There are actually a few examples of Jews that are definitively like this (a liberal Epstein girl said she was referred to as a "white slave" in their presence, this has mostly been censored) but most of them seem to be genuine in their egalitarian activism

Although I appreciate the sentiment of people who fly their "thin blue line" flags or post "back the blue!", as it's basically a coded rejection of anti-white rhetoric, the reality is, in America, outside of black ghettos, one hardly needs more than a skeleton crew of a police department. The American police are far more likely to arrest someone for playing video games too loudly and then blow them away than actually protect them from anything. Indeed, they actually protect rioters as we have seen the past three months. Most of us would be better off pooling resources with our neighbors to hire private security.

With that said, I can understand how American police get to be the way they are if they have to deal with the violence of American blacks all day. It's funny to see how relaxed Scandinavian cops used to be, where no crime happened pre-Enrichment, compared to American ones. Or take the Japanese police who coordinate fake gun busts with the Yakuza because they have nothing better to do.

Looting is idiotic in general. People are using looting as a synonym for violence. And I do think it is possible to justify violence. You look at the american revolution and you can see violence was justified. If we all became slaves to a communist state, I am sure you would all see violence as justifiable. The problem here is that the violence isn't really justifiable because their perception of reality is distorted. America isn't some 1930s Germany trying to keep POC down. If it were, maybe they would have a point. But that is so clearly not the case they just look delusional.

If the state denies you a legitimate path to pursue your political views, then violent opposition becomes a legitimate form of political expression. But the American system does not unduly deny anyone influence in their political institutions. Looting is therefore an illegitimate form of expression and should be condemned without qualification.

Chaos is feminine. Look at Tiamat, at witches, at female monsters. They are obsessed with birth and can only react with total acceptance or violent rejection. Male violence is a structured conflict, there are winners and losers, terms and courtesies. The feminine could kill you and fuck your corpse to birth horrid abominations from your essence, it is a tale as old as mankind.

They're more common among Americans though. It really is bizarre meeting them, because it's common enough among Americans to think of the world the same way people in NK do.

Why should I give a shit about small businesses? I thought the iron law of capitalism was that the weak should fail and the strong should survive. If your business can't compete with Amazon then capitalism says you're inferior and you deserve to fail.

is interesting that a lot of comments in reddit against blacks are from asians because they get a lot of racism from blacks.

another interesting thing about whats happening is that all this leftist are pushing for blacks to be "themself" this means to be looters and criminals and members of gangs because this is their "culture" ...
this is something very interesting in the sense that is very machiavellian, they are trying to do the same with hispanics/latinos (we HAVE to reject this, even outside the US this is happening), re-inforce and perpetuate a culture of mediocrity looting and violence... rap/hiphop is a big part of this too

The Atlantic reviewed it (unfavourably, obviously):
>Osterweil’s argument is simple. The “so-called” United States was founded in “cisheteropatriarchal racial capitalist” violence. That violence produced our current system, particularly its property relations, and looting is a remedy for that sickness. “Looting rejects the legitimacy of ownership rights and property, the moral injunction to work for a living, and the ‘justice’ of law and order,” she writes. Ownership of things—not just people—is “innately, structurally white supremacist.”
