I'm reminded of the Arab (Saudi?) Who spoke of more extremism coming from the west when people feel less oppurtunity.

Hang him. Expedited trial, no appeals. Piece of shit.

Doesn't sound like he's against capitalism so much as rampant exploitation.

Remind me, what happened in Boston December 1773?

Sounds like more extremism coming from the east.

"All you had to do was pay us enough to live. Pay us more of the value WE bring. Not corporate. Didn’t see the shareholders picking up a shift."

He's not wrong.

"Remind me, what happened in Boston December 1773?"

The British government got a bit too cute with its attempts to coax the colonials into paying taxes imposed from London by forcing them to buy EIC tea, and so said tea got thrown into the harbor.

In response, Parliament ordered the Port of Boston be shut down, dissolved the Massachusetts provincial government, sent a military general backed with Army troops to impose martial law, and effectively gave British officials carte blanche to commit abuses against the local citizenry by taking away the colony's ability to try them for crimes committed.

Then the Army tried to seize our weappns. So we justifiably started shooting redcoats and declared our independence. Fuck the King.

What does that have to do with the burning of a warehouse though?

The current US job market is absolutely exploitative.

Sure. And let's stipulate that being a warehouse worker kind of sucks, and while the pay is decent (as far as blue-collar work goes) it's crumbs compared to what the companies are making.

None of that justifies the destruction of $650,000,000 worth of property.

Not condoning behaviour and understanding the frustration that led to it can both be done.
