    Yes. Because that’s all I said in my comment and that’s the only thing you should take from it. /s

    Replies like yours are why I fucking hate the internet. Engage in the actual substance of the comment maybe; instead of just straw manning what I said for the sake of disagreement.

      What about my comment implies I didn’t read the whole thing? My point still stands

        No. It doesn’t. You rewrote one sentence I said and then pretended like that was the thesis of the comment.

        The comment was talking about the use of force and military towards protests. I was pointing out the material difference between “weekend protesters” collecting in mass for a few hours and other people actively preventing ICE from leaving their facilities and being met with violence.

        It wasn’t a “bash” on liberals. I want them to go out and do their mass protests. It does help them become radicalized to do more.

        It was an explanation of WHY you won’t see high levels of police violence at these large “No Kings” style protest.

        Because they don’t threaten the ability for ICE to hurt people. Are they good in other ways? Absolutely. But that wasn’t the point of my comment and it wasn’t what was being asked in the comment I replied to.

        It’s the difference between a person holding up a sign that says “save the Forrest” and another person chaining themselves to the God damn tree.

        That was my point. So, nothing you have said in response is at all being critical of what I actually said. You’re just straw manning.
