They're not comparing innocent lives to property. They have no interest in lives at all. Property and the status quo is all they care about.

Nah according to tc there are only 2 sides and no room for anything in between
He's right. Neutrality in a struggle between oppressor and oppressed always benefit the oppressor.

If I'm not mistaken, @Questionmarktarius is an anarchist.

it is not unreasonable for him to question the impact of rioting on the well-being of the local community, and can do so without siding with the law enforcement that catalyzed the riots.

Well for an Anarchist he sure does love the cops and authority figures who tell him what to do...

There was right and wrong in the Holocaust. Anne Frank was protected by an AUSTRIAN WOMAN.

Things in life will always get fucked up - life is not fair. How you respond is what is important. And for this issue, yeah, I am stating outright: there is no fence.

Either help the Nazi's kill the Jews - or hide them like Schindler. There is no "in between" where you just go about life and hum and whistle to yourself while ignoring the strange smell of gas and flesh.

Who said you have to be neutral? You could maybe not target innocent people's property, which will accomplish nothing for your cause except those people hating you, and maybe actually go for something that actually sends a message to the people oppressing you

Sorry, if that analogy went over your head: Either help the protestors change the system by protesting and rioting, or help the authorities kill innocent blacks.

There is no middle. You are not Switzerland (and btw they were in the wrong too for being neutral)

There's right and wrong when it comes to destroying someone's life that has nothing to do with what you're against too.

Stop saying destroying someone's life. Just stop. Shut the fuck up.

A small business owner waiting 4 weeks for the insurance check to come in is not "destroying someone's life".

You are approaching things like a 15 year old who has no concept of insurance or indemnity.
What if everything they held dear was in their store or house? Now they have no income and have to rebuild. What if someone has to live on the street because their house was burned down? Do you think they want that?

If you're ok with this shit, you're the bad guy.

And no I wont shut the fuck up. If you want me to shut up put me on ignore

Is that what anarchy means now?
Contrary to TC's allegations, you haven't actually defended the police in any way ITT.

In a way, I'm implicitly imploring him to stop putting words in your mouth.

While there is a case to be made for two sides, TC's proposal of riots vs. state tyranny seems like a false dichotomy.

Not a proposal, as much as "how things are in America 2020". If you find it to be a false dichotomy - blame the system. Or God.

Not me.
