Oh you know get a large enough amount of the population to support u so u can get the leaders you want.
I think that's been thrown out the window, if we go by what's been established in here. The only reason support is being garnered now is because of the violent pushback that resulted from the years of it being buried and put in the pressure cooker.
You are not taking into account that the ones in charge are currently pandering to and importing the population that wants them to do what they're currently doing. Anyone else is a sheep who worries about bad optics and the indignity of being racist or islamophobic.
Anyone who speaks out against this is silenced, arrested, made a social pariah, and made an enemy of the state. So at that point, what are your options? Try to fight back against increasing political and lawful pressure while the world around you is raped and murdered, or simply not care about the optics and make people listen to you.
I sincerely don't care about the 'but it makes us look bad' bit. If it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander.
This is the bed that has been made and it is the only voice these rioters have at the moment. Not because some stupid fent addicted criminal died, but because there's been a decade or so of sexual crimes and murder linked to the ones they're angry at, the ones who get special protections because of their religion and skin color.
Basically, fuck that, fuck civility, fuck being nice, and fuck losing with dignity, the people in charge were going to paint opposition in a bad light to make people resent them regardless, might as well chimp out and put some focus on the double-standard.
