Violence against oppression and violence against democracy aren't exactly equal in my book. Intent does matter.

So the mobs in Russia that overthrew the monarchy, a monarchy that oppressed the peasants were justified? Violence is violence.

The democratic leaders outraged about the Capitol but not about six months worth of riots and deaths BLM is behind. Thats so strange.. I thought the democrat leaders was against violence, but they are apparently not against violence when BLM and anfita is behind it?? Thats very very hypocrisy

So, what's your plan to get us out of our current danger and headed down the road with at least a chance of a better country for us all?

I can see it involves trying to de-legitimatize the Democratic leaders. Hmm... good tactical start. Where do we go from there?

Okay everyone is a hypocrite. Left, right, middle, down, up, to the side. The guy who fixes the toilet. The guy who collects the bins. The guy who randomly goes to the park. The guy at the gym.
Every single person in the history of the universe is a hypocrite.
There. Does that cover it?

Very few people who loudly bemoan hypocrisy have the insight to see it is human nature to be hypocritical. None of them possess the further insight to grasp it sometimes works out to most people's benefit that they are at times hypocritical.

Gottterdammerung is scheduled to begin on the day humans become realists.

It literally translates as "Twilight of the Gods". A term ultimately from Norse Mythology. The final battle of the gods against evil. Evil wins, after which, the world is first destroyed, then renewed. In common usage, SR, it refers to a catastrophic, violent collapse of society.

"The Ride of the Valkyries" From Richard Wagner's opera 'about' Gotterdammerung....

Absolutely. The tsarist regime was a brutal one that crushed people under its foot and repressed in blood any protests against it. Millions died in its inept wars and management of the economy, it was the last slaver State of Europe and hundreds of thousands suffered regularly of famine under its rule while the clergy and the nobility were living in guilded palaces. While the regime that finally replaced it was scarcely better, the violent death of tsarist Russia was well deserved just as the death of all absolutist monarchy, all in the blood of revolution, were a good thing.

Both parties are complete crap and hypocrites in their own right. If anyone doesn't already know that then, they have not been paying attention. Every 4 or 8 years all we get is simply the "new" flavor of racism and hypocrisy. Last 4 was Trump's brand (the right), the next 4 will be Biden's brand (the left). Both parties are scum imo.

Big difference though. The BLM riots were a tiny fraction of the overall protest movement which was mostly peaceful, and it was against something which has been a legit social problem for centuries. And the left did condemn the looting. The thing is that they realised that in almost every major protest movement there are fringes of people who are violent, so their point was not to focus on that because it detracted from what should be focused on in the protests.

The storming of the Capitol was a done by a bunch of nutters driven by conspiracy theories. The storming of the Capitol alone is a huge problem vs protesting on the streets. Even if we ignore the violence and focus on the meaning behind it, it is still absurd.

They all are tiny fractions.

Just a few small insignificant people in a sea of innocents.

False equivilance and straw man.
Nobody condoned - much less encouraged - the looting and rioting during the BLM protests. Also, what happened during the BLM protests wasn't an attack upon the government and democracy.

That's very helpful to know. Thank you. I'm so glad you have never failed to object to hypocrisy on the right. And you have always stood by your staunch criticisms of polarizing and inflammatory language on the left. And.. and.. and...

Violence in and of itself is not a bad thing, unless no violence whatsoever is your axiom. Context matters. Violence is acceptable especially when it comes to self defense.

Imagine if people and nations didn't defend themselves with violence in certain cases. Often times counter-violence has saved innocent people.
