    Even though the riot has been questionable in terms of goals and it’s character, it’s been insanely funny to see liberals going mask off everywhere because property damage, especially on reddit and twitter. Really shows where their priorities lie

      Must be nice to live in a world where you don’t need to worry about where the money is going to come from to rebuild a building that was burned down.

      Here in the real world, we understand the fallacies around broken windows, we know that resources used to fix the damage are resources that won’t be used for making things better. Instead of building housing for the homeless (or anything else you could imagine that would make people’s lives better) they will need to spend resources to rebuild their town hall instead.

      This is an action that hurts government services, but I guess you’re pretending it’s some kind of socialist victory to do that?

      There’s a significant probability that there was foreign influence involved. Foreign actors seeking to make life worse for people in countries they consider to be their adversaries are always pushing people to burn things down. The end result is whatever movement does this loses all credibility and things get a little worse in the target country.

      Nobody in France benefits from this action.

      Anyone using the word liberal as a slur is either a nazi or a different kind of nazi. In any case, extremely blockable.

        Referring to people who hold liberal positions politically (i.e. pro-market, pro-democracy, pro-private property) as liberals is a slur? Did you just look at my name and immediately assumed the worst without thinking about what I wrote for even a second?

        Edit: Judging you from your other comments, you’re literally one of those people lol
