It's the same thing with Melvin Capital who tried shorting GameStop. When they screwed up, they used their privilege to bring in Citadel to break the rules by blocking trades so Melvin wouldn't lose more money to the lower class Redditors.
Completely off topic, but for once we can completely agree on something. Blocking those trades was as wrong as it gets. I love the fact they screwed over the Wall Street fat cats.
The people I want punished are the bad apples who use their privilege to say and do whatever they want
You lose me at “say whatever they want”. They should be punished for what they do if it is against the law, but I will defend their right to say what they want, even if I disagree with it. Even if what they say is wrong, censorship is infinitely worse. We will never see eye to eye on this. I blame the rioters for their own actions. Personal responsibility, which is basically dead. If you’re too dumb to realize you shouldn’t follow what these powerful people say, and you CHOOSE to riot and hurt innocent people, then you should be arrested and face the consequences.
I get pissed off at generalizations, and people who look at society like that. Not all cops are racists. Not all black people are criminals. Not all white people are privileged. Yet as a society our own internal biases make us hate ALL cops, or hate ALL black people, etc. and that is wrong, and that is why all of this garbage happens. 100% generalizations...all the time. Nobody is able to put themselves in anyone else’s shoes, and there is zero empathy for what anyone else has to go through. We just look at their demographics, and make our biased assumptions and conclusions on how their life is just from that.
