Remember the BLM protests and you guys saying how the people doing the rioting and looting were just a fringe minority or alt righters trying to undermine the meaning behind the protests? Now youre saying everyone at these protests is a nazi or someone trying to burn down a building? The hypocrisy from you people is hilarious lmao

I will say, I am trying to keep an open mind and believe that the psychotic Nazis are probably a non-representative minority of an otherwise peaceful protest. That is, after all, what happened with the BLM protests, with a whole bunch of people generalizing the violent minority to discredit the movement as a whole and avoid confronting the central message. The central message of this protest is still wrong, of course, and I will continue to disagree with it and argue against it wherever possible, but I want to try to avoid dismissing it all as just being the insane ramblings of racist vandals.

That said, they're making it really hard, especially where even the well-intentioned ones are still engaging in blatant terrorism (that is, "we're engineering a supply crisis unless we get the political change we want").

I don't know how many times I'm going to need to repeat this for you to understand, but copy+pasting is pretty easy, so I'm willing to keep it up.
