This is an informative and interesting read… an interview with a left winger who advocates *for* looting, including the looting of small businesses. Including the trashing and destruction of small grocery stores in food deserts. because the author is not only evil, she’s a fricken’ *moron.* She believes that looting is just a fair way to redistribute stuff that those people deserve, and that every time they destroy a business, the business will simply restock for the next time.

And the reason that the world is organized that way, obviously, is for the profit of the people who own the stores and the factories. So you get to the heart of that property relation, and demonstrate that without police and without state oppression, we can have things for free.

Riiiiiiiiiight.

One Author’s Argument ‘In Defense Of Looting’

The author has all the very latest, most leftie-approved notions. Looting is ok, because the word “loot” was appropriated by white people from brown people. Looting is ok, because it destroys even the basic *idea* of owning property, because “property” is white supremacy.

Looting strikes at the heart of property, of whiteness and of the police. It gets to the very root of the way those three things are interconnected. And also it provides people with an imaginative sense of freedom and pleasure and helps them imagine a world that could be. And I think that’s a part of it that doesn’t really get talked about—that riots and looting are experienced as sort of joyous and liberatory.

Cthulhu nods approvingly.

But looters and rioters don’t attack private homes. They don’t attack community centers. In Minneapolis, there was a small independent bookstore that was untouched. All the blocks around it were basically looted or even leveled, burned down. And that store just remained untouched through weeks of rioting.

I do wonder about whether a business that gets looted after this can sue *her* for damages. I wonder about suing NPR and her publisher for giving her a platform.
