If you're more bothered by the fact that some tiny amount of corporate property has been set ablaze than you are by the fact that the police you pay for are being sent to attack unarmed and peaceful protesters with chemical weapons, backed up by federally-mandated US troops fully armed for battle...
...You're just as fascist as they are.
No, the protesters are *not* instigating violence. They are being assaulted by police without authority to do so, having committed no criminal act, trampled by police horses, hit by police cars, shot by police bullets, and blinded and deafened by police grenades. Arrested without warrants for exercising long-established First Amendment-protected rights.
The media aren't showing you what's happening. They're showing you what will *excite you*. Enrage you. Bring you back to watch more. They are incentivised to maximise their profit by doing so.
The police are incentivised to attack you. They get to make splashy arrests and get big numbers, which makes police budgets Line Go Up. They are the ones being paid to be there. They are the ones starting the violence. So who, exactly, are the paid instigators here?
Please trust that your neighbours have not lost their minds. They see what is happening, and they're doing the only thing that can be done. They're standing up and saying "No. Not in my name."
That's not a crime. It's a civic duty.
