Unrest in Los Angeles follows a recent pattern: Protests that break out remain mostly peaceful during the day, but at night agitators engage in fiery clashes with police.
Yeah I see that now. I fucked it up by phrasing it the way I did. Not the first time that happened. Probably won’t be the last either.
There’s definitely a very big difference between the far left and the far right, in the sense that one side is the literal nazis and the other the freedom fighters. But there’s so much to it. So much dynamic, so much nuance, so much context. It’s a difficult topic. It’s nazis and not-nazis, sure, but there so much more.
What I meant was that both sides are doing extreme things. Things that shouldn’t belong in a world where I want my kids to grow up in. Not the entire big, complex issue. Just this one aspect. Easy, comprehensible, small.
Anyways, it was a dumb remark, shallow, objective, out of context. And I failed to frame it the way I meant it. Just… I’d delete it, but that’s not how the Internet works.
Thank you for elaborating. I understand your position better now. To be honest, you sound a lot like my mom does.
I too wish we lived in a world where violent resistance wasn’t necessary, and the powerful people who control us would listen to peaceful activism. That, unfortunately, is an ideal and not our current reality.
In the absence of that, I desire a world where people are brave enough to take risks for what is right, and who aren’t handcuffed by their principles when the times call for action. The protestors who are out there right now are, by and large, those types of people: patriots who are willing to do what is necessary now so your children might be able to achieve the ideal you’ve described later.
