    That’s what the algo wants you to blame. No one in real life is questioning why places are on fire. I’d argue that looting IS a form of protest.

      Except that it sounds like a lot of the looting was organized. Students like having a crowd, building some barricades, and setting a few trash cans on fire. This also sounds like the kind of protest that gets taken advantage of, abused, and userped by people who don’t care about the original idea.
