To think there's got to be at least a couple of MNers involved in the rioting ?

Based in the broad views seen here, I can't believe that there isn't someone who is involved either passively or actively.
If you are one of those, would you like to explain why?

I don't think so. The rioters are a tiny percentage of the population.

Useful idiots? There's lots of them on Mnet. Stupid fuckers, they're nothing but unpaid Putin's puppets.🤦‍♀️ And then there are far right proponents and Russian trolls.🙄

I don't think there are any actual rioters though. There may be partners of rioters.Sad

Mn is not ‘left wing’ by any stretch of the imagination.

Show quote history

Well that’s my feeling!

My feeling is that MN is far too left wing to ever be involved. I don’t think anyone on here would do this.

You think? Have a little look around. Lots of right wing views being expressed. And a worrying amount of outright racism.

The rioters are a tiny proportion of the population. MNers are a bigger one, but still relatively small. I don’t think you can draw any conclusions. Though some are definitely spreading misinformation on here, so I bet they are doing it elsewhere too.

Actively rioting? Probably not.

Spreading fake news and trying to drum up support? Yes, loads of them.

I've been throwing bricks at the rozzers all day. I'm cream crackered.

From the news coverage, rioting appears to be a predominantly male activity. I’m not convinced that the mn demographic (which admittedly has some men, but is mainly women) has much overlap with the perpetrators of violence on the streets.

How do you passively riot then?

I'm only bumping this to see if it's banned.
