    Oh my bad, they didn’t 100% complete it and get all the collectables so it doesn’t count.

        So it doesn’t matter that a dozen buildings were set on fire, looted, and ruined? Doesn’t matter shop owners were beat with planks of wood? So long as we’re under that 15% it’s acceptable, yeah? I’m glad the defense is “Well they didn’t do enough of it so what’s your point?”

          If you’re gonna keep moving goalposts then just hold onto them and keep walking until you hit a specific nameable city and plant them down there.

            Holy fuck you don’t even know what moving the goalposts means. I didn’t realize how fucking awful the left was with the pseudo intellectualism. Call it a strawman next. Oh oh, ad hominem too. Just throw all the terms at the wall and hope to god you sound smart. Here, I’ll help you since you have such a short memory.

              Do you know what moving the goalpoasts means? Why don’t you explain it to me. Perhaps with reference to how it doesn’t apply to this conversation?

          That’s not an answer. You said cities (multiple) “burned down.” Now you’re suggesting not even 15% of one city burned down? Make up your mind.

            Yes and you’re taking the braindead take that for a city to be set fire to it has to reach your arbitrary 15% ratio or it doesn’t count. Shit burned down but for you to acknowledge it, it has to really cripple the whole city huh? Something something goalposts.

          Sure it matters. The point is that “a dozen buildings” is very different from " burning down their cities."

          In any case it’s a bullshit premise because those rioters never represented mainstream sentiment on the left.

          Who are the people that allegedly did this and what are their affiliations? Who of any prominence endorses them? You keep bringing this nonsense up as if it has any kind of relevance or traction outside the right wing lying liars’ echo chambers.
