I know that Wikipedia is not a good source so I'd like to be educated on this subject from some authentic sources. What was the true cause? Was it haphazardly done and did it lead to people dying in unfair circumstances?

Turkey has never been colonized by any European country, instead having colonized parts of Europe itself, largely avoided WW2 and was on the “winning side” of the Cold War. Despite that, its living standards are largely the same as those of the global south and a far cry from Western Europe. What’s the reason for that?

Talking to Chinese people about the Parisienne riots and most of them who read or get news from WeChat or people’s daily seem to be hyper focused on immigrants (black and Muslim) and small business owners “defending” themselves from “rioters.”

I’m just confused why it seems on several topics it seems mainland media almost defaults to western perceptive and why this isn’t a push for a dialectical view especially since media is state controlled. From small stuff like calling ansarallah “houthis” to taking the western de facto view on riots or “regimes” (even for DPRK) when the west would sell even a peaceful justified crackdown in China as “totalitarian” or “evil” or “draconian civil rights abuse”

A couple of videos circulated online and went kind of viral. One is about a woman crying while begging looters to stop robbing the store. Here's one post with it (not mine of course): https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/s/aP7rbS7IEd

The second is about a man forcing his wife to return clothes she just looted. Here it is again from one of the many posts on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/SipsTea/s/2VgCiHPWhC

The store in question in the first video is a Franprix supermarket. FranPrix is a giant company whose revenue last year was over 3 billion euros, and owned by an even bigger group, Group Casino. The woman in the video is neither the owner of FranPrix nor the manager of the store.

The second is fast fashion Pimkie. One of the many not good fast fashion companies which are a definite net negative for humanity and the planet.

Why the F liberals keep defending those corporations? Fucking put the situation in context. If anything, the looting of those stores is a small attempt at minimal rebalancing of inequality.

"It's a slippery slope". No, it fucking isn't. Or maybe it's a road to a better more equal society. Fuck corporations to hell and back.

EDIT: to be clear, as people seem confused, I am not talking about this specific thing to claim that looting is the blueprint for revolution. I am critiquing the bourgeoise moralism judging them. And people who get all high and mighty when the window of one store of a multi billionaire company owned by a super shitty mega financial group is broken, as if that's the worst thing in that scene, and not the hyper exploitation of the mega corps. THAT is what I am talking about here.

Flaired in jest a bit. But it is genuine counter propaganda levity on many levels. My intention as ever, to show the humanity of 🇰🇵

Kawaii (かわいい) is a concept and aesthetic meaning "cute," "lovable," or "adorable", rooted in historical ideals of childlike innocence and vulnerability.

Western anarchism: avoiding tangible positive change so they can enjoy relative privilege within the bourgeois state, living within the intangible so that they can feel good about themselves while doing so. Multi level cowardice. Also coopting a very noble thing which is the concept itself of anarchism.
