Burn the Airbnb Down (Blaming the Native American Decor Lady)

He riffs on wanting to torch the Airbnb's appropriated native decor, ties it back to the chaos/looting discussion, and closes with a summary judgment that people should stay away from riot zones and let police and legitimate activists handle it.
- The Airbnb host appropriated Native American culture and decorated her shitty surf cottage with it.
- Tim observes that some protest groups seem like highly trained coordinated cells working in unison.
- He wonders whether the arsonists are antifa, looters, or undercover federal agents provocateurs.
- A peaceful protest of 100,000 people is powerful; add window-breaking and arson, and public opinion flips.
- Walking into a protest with an AR-15 is probably not a good idea, regardless of circumstances.
- People can become animals very quickly; you don't try to reason with a bear or negotiate in chaos.
- Tim's general rule: stay away when things go haywire and don't show up to defend buildings or gas stations.
- Most burned businesses are insured, and nothing is worth losing your life or freedom over.
- Stopping looting and destruction is the job of police, not armed civilians showing up to intervene.
- Legitimate activists need to constrain movements so they don't become tents for destroyers and robbers, and a lot of the vandals are white in a Black Lives Matter movement.
