If you only knew what a strangely under cultured place Oregon was.

Missing Santa Barbra is very easy, its more for the people, and the ability to walk places.

And there ARE no more Greek riots. They lasted a couple of weeks and then they died. Of course they're having limited financial effects that may seem large considering the entire WORLD is undergoing major financial struggles due to the recession, but other than that, the Greek government is hardly faltering. It will recover, the riots will start again (at some point), and the government will recover again. This is how it works. The police are TRAINED to stop violence from being effectively carried out against the government. They are not trained to stop people from not buying shit they don't have to buy, etc. You've heard my stance on that.
Also, you realize that the French rioters in that article were rioting to BECOME a part of the system, not to destroy it? All of the "benefits" they gained were in order to go to college, pay for houses, stuff like that. Of course the government is going to buy into their riots- they WANT to indoctrinate people into that world. Furthermore, the article draws a correspondence with the American and French revolutions. Uh, first of all, the French Revolution did NOT give way to a better form of government. Second of all, the fight for American independence has NOT given way to a better form of government. There are many other aspects of the article I would argue, but it's 11:16 and I don't feel like I need to further prove my point. The article is right about one thing: wars ARE basically just massive riots. People kill people and blow shit up for what they believe in. Some concept, same effect.

1. Never heard of the fur coat thing, I'll have to look into it. As for the people breaking in to destroy stuff at the animal testing centers, you DO realize that animal testing STILL happens. Yes, the rioting diverts them momentarily, but that's what I'm saying: rioting only has a momentary effect! In the long-run, it has no power, and it can't end injustice permanently.
And labor unions? Really? Labor unions got people KILLED when they rioted- KILLED. And they had just as much peaceful protesting going on, and it was just as effective and had just as much of an impact: in fact, labor unions were mainly ORGANIZED through peaceful protest So labor unions are not a good example if you want to convince someone like me that rioting is helpful.
3 (Yes, I skipped 2). Conflict is actually completely avoidable, it's just that people assume they must encounter conflict and therefore they do. But moreover, I have nothing against conflict itself in terms of it coming up: it's just that rioting is not a SOLUTION to conflict, it only exacerbates conflict by creating more of it. You don't have to fight fire with fire. In order for conflict to exist, people must participate in it. If the powers that be want to create conflict with us, but we refuse to engage them, then the conflict dies because it can't be sustained by one side. It's like football: one team and a field doesn't make a game. It's pretty much that simple.

"This guy"'s argument is flawed on several levels. To begin, riots have ALSO been going on for decades and decades, and they have never been effective either. Secondly, "it just doesn't work that way" is not an argument, it's an opinionated statement that has no basis. Historical research SHOWS that riots just don't work. Historical research does not show that the same is true for peaceful protesting- quite the opposite. However, the biggest problem with "this guy"'s argument is that it is presumptuous in immediately assuming that if you are against rioting, the only other method of protest is to stand around holding a sign. WRONG. Other methods of peaceful protest include, but are not limited to, boycotts (which have the same desired effect as riots, actually, but without the police having an excuse to beat or arrest anyone), sit-ins, hunger strikes, all sorts of things that HAVE gained attention. Peaceful protesting actually DOES work- Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Jr.- again, I can list endless examples of successful peaceful protesters. And yet "this guy", based on no evidential standing, claims that it "just doesn't work that way". History speaks a different story. Besides, what is "directed" property damage? Directed at what? The thing is, rioting HAS to hurt someone- but not everyone riots for the same reasons, and not everyone is always on the same side. How would that guy like it if some rioter came up to him and punched him in the face to break his glasses because they don't like the factory that produced them? There is no "directed" property damage- it's just property damage, one way or the other, and some people may blow up corporate buildings, and some people may blow up houses, and some people may blow up cars owned by people who have nothing to do with whatever they're protesting. The end result is the same: someone gets hurt, conflict persists.
