    You moralizing about what is essentially an uncontrollable phenomenon, is serving the narrative of the opposing side. Nobody is in control of a riot by definition. All kinds of shit is gonna get fucked up. Focusing on individual incidents is falling into a trap that the ruling class lays for a credulous audience.

      I didn’t say they weren’t. I’m just saying that your observation is, at best, pointless, and at worst, serves the state’s narrative.

      People plundering stores are very much in control of themselves, give me a break. I don’t blame anyone else for those actions than those who commit them.
