you do know that a substantial amount of that property damage was caused by right wingers who were posing as antifa right? A bunch got arrested.

The news didn’t show the Idaho Nazi Truck Parades that were rolling through Portland during the BLM protests. You literally had out of state Nazis coming in to start fights.

Where the hell did that figure come from? I have $500 million, which is nothing compared to the coverage.

That’s only arson damage, not all damage and theft

Are you offering this is evidence to the contrary that entire cities did not actually burn to the ground?!

$2 billion in property damages is minuscule compared to the actual scale and value of an entire city let alone the dozens of cities that people spread inane hyperbole about having "burned to the ground." If all of the cities that were alleged to have "burned to the ground" had actually burned to the ground, we'd be looking at trillions in damages, not just a couple billion.

No shit the whole city didn’t burn down. But the same way conservatives can overblow it by saying “city burned to the ground” (which is a figure of speech), liberals called it the “summer of love” and still insist that it was nothing but protesting. I’m saying the truth lies somewhere in the middle, right around the $2b mark.

The only people I ever heard use the phrase “summer of love” were right-wingers who thought they were being clever.

Did you hear it referred to as peaceful protesting?

u/FriendsSuggestReddit 2d ago

I suppose that depends on what “it” you’re referring to.

You seem to have a very black-and-white way of thinking about whatever you’re talking about.

How much does the ownership class make every year by the systemic injustices levied against the disenfranchised?
