Why is Sup Forums against civil disobedience?

>police officers acting lawfully sadly shoot dead a dangerous criminal that represented a danger to them and others
>lets burn a bunch of shit and attack a bunch of people
>I lost the election
>lets burn a bunch of shit and attack a bunch of people
>some faggot is giving a speech
>lets burn a bunch of shit and attack a bunch of people
hmmmm, its almost as if the reason for the riot matters
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

>without riots you'd still be working 10-12 hours six days a week
Demonstrably wrong.
Lucas Brown
>without riots you'd still be working 10-12 hours six days a week
I do that right now
Jaxson Jones
Because it's actions are impacting our lives negatively and it is being done for a cause that is fucking retarded.
...What, did you expect some big, deep, objective explanation about why the very act of civil disobedience is bad? This ain't debate club nigga, we're allowed to be self-interested and subjective here.
Noah Long
But I still do work 12 hour days
Brandon Young
>riot
>civil
Try again, MLK would be ashamed of you for reversing all of his hard work

Protest =/= riots
Did workers protests of the 00's-20's only became riots because they were being attacked by the police?
Ayden Brooks
MLK was strictly non violent and thats why he was successful
Ian Lopez
We got 8 hour days here without any riots, worst thing we had was a few strikes and workers unions getting too strong.
We just had one carpenter telling all his carpenter mates to only do 8 hour days otherwise they'd throw them in the harbour. Didn't even burn down and loot the town once

But the superior Dr. Martin Luther says otherwise
From Against the Robbing and Murdering Hordes of Peasants
Martin Luther, May 1525
>The peasants have taken on themselves the burden of three terrible sins against God and man, by which they have abundantly merited death in body and soul. In the first place they have sworn to be true and faithful, submissive and obedient, to their rulers, as Christ commands, when he says, ‘Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's,’ and in Romans XIII, ‘Let everyone be subject unto the higher powers.’ Because they are breaking this obedience, and are setting themselves against the higher powers, willfully and with violence, they have forfeited body and soul, as faithless, perjured, lying, disobedient knaves and scoundrels are wont to do. St. Paul passed this judgement on them in Romans XIII when he said, that they who resist the power will bring a judgement upon themselves. This saying will smite the peasants sooner or later, for it is God's will that faith be kept and duty done.
Gabriel Sanders
>In the second place, they are starting a rebellion, and violently robbing and plundering monasteries and castles which are not theirs, by which they have a second time deserved death in body and soul, if only as highwaymen and murderers. Besides, any man against whom it can be proved that he is a maker of sedition is outside the law of God and Empire, so that the first who can slay him is doing right and well. For if a man is an open rebel every man is his judge and executioner, just as when a fire starts, the first to put it out is the best man. For rebellion is not simple murder, but is like a great fire, which attacks and lays waste a whole land. Thus rebellion brings with it a land full of murder and bloodshed, makes widows and orphans, and turns everything upside down, like the greatest disaster. Therefore let everyone who can, smite, slay and stab, secretly or openly, remembering that nothing can be more poisonous, hurtful or devilish than a rebel. It is just as when one must kill a mad dog; if you do not strike him, he will strike you, and a whole land with you.
Brayden Bailey
>In the third place, they cloak this terrible and horrible sin with the Gospel, call themselves ‘Christian brethren’, receive oaths and homage, and compel people to hold with them to these abominations. Thus they become the greatest of all blasphemers of God and slanderers of his holy Name, serving the devil, under the outward appearance of the Gospel, thus earning death in body and soul ten times over. I have never heard of a more hideous sin. I suspect that the devil feels the Last Day coming and therefore undertakes' such an unheard-of-act, as though saying to himself, ‘This is the last, therefore it shall be the worst; I will stir up the dregs and knock out the bottom.’ God will guard us against him! See what a mighty prince the devil is, how he has the world in his hands and can throw everything into confusion, when he can so quickly catch so many thousands of peasants, deceive them, blind them, harden them and throw them into revolt, and do with them whatever his raging fury undertakes.
Nicholas Wilson
There are plenty of people who willingly work that much. People in law firms, medicine, etc. can easily clock 80+ hours in a week.
Riots aren't objectively good just because they've been used to ease people's work hours. Stop tipping over cop cars and raiding Nike stores and maybe people will listen to you
Anthony Ross
TL;DR Scoflaws must be slain. Look the text up, he goes on to say that as dedicated servants of God's wrath the temporal authorities are obligated to to punish lawbreakers and neglect their divine duty if they fail to do so.

>"Riot is the language of the unheard."
Why does every idiot on the planet take this quote out of context? This is not MLK Jr. Advocating riots. It's him stating why riots occur from the rioters perspective. He's was 100% against violent riots.
Jeremiah Butler
WE WUZ RIOTS
Henry Gray
A quote from Marching Looter Koon isn't going to help you case around here.
Hudson Sanders
>Falling for that horseshit.
MLK is delivering a not very well veiled threat that unless you listen to him and gib mo money fo dem programs his raging horde of groids will chimp the fuck out because they weren't "heard".
He was not against riots, he was simply playing the good cop to insane violent rage's bad cop.
Benjamin Anderson
It's counterproductive most of the time
Hudson Garcia
I have some psychic pedo vampires for you to play with.
Jayden Morales
Rosa Parks telling people to go fuck them self's and getting arrested is civil disobedience.
Rioting and assaulting innocent bystanders because someone you don't like is speaking, then justifying it by saying 'MUH FASCISM' is not civil disobedience.
Levi Sullivan
WRONG

You shouldn't protest because your cause is retarded. Idiotic sans-culotte, you're going to wind up with an emperor if you keep this up.

Their riots are no longer political, but rather, they are for personal gain. This is because they know deep down that they are not oppressed, not anymore.

First post is best post
Violence is acceptable under certain circumstances but blacks in this country, and indeed their leftist handlers, are going ape shit at the drop of a hat.
Riots can be acceptable but only with valid reason behind it and these people don't have it
Julian Green
memba when those firebombs rioted against MLK?
and those bullets too? that was a good riot...
reminds me of..

Ah, that makes sense. To a moron.
To abolish slavery, many people were killed with guns.
Therefore, to abolish social media special snowflakery, we should kill many people with guns now.
What the fuck, I love killing people with guns now.
You can justify ANYTHING using this kind of logic. Because something was done in some context in the past, therefore it can be done now in this context just because it was done in the past in another context.
