    you are right. Your sidestepping is ridiculous. i quoted what you said and replied to that. I didn't know you were stating ever in history....

    but i didnt think you could actually answer the question. Just spin spin spin. So ridiculous is correct.

    If I try to build a fire to damage your pet rock am I really doing damage? A building is not a pet rock but it's going to be extremely unlikely that you're going to kill anyone in today's federal buildings. When is the last time you heard of that happening, probably somewhere in the 1880s.

    Can you get anyone in here to agree with you? That should be a clue right there.

    i understand your logic. I do not however agree the law differentiates. Not referring to the pet rock. There arent people trapped inside a pet rock, so thats a moot and irrelevant point. Please keep it within context.

    I was making a point about setting a fire. That is and was the context.

    That's the way you see it. I see it as arriving at the truth simultaneously.

    and thats the fatal flaw. You think because a few other people agree with your opinion, it makes it truth.
    Making any realistic conversation to be had futile...

    Yes, in the statement of mine you are quoting I pointed out the worst crimes committed by each group.

    Bomb throwing cop killing racists vs idiot arsonists.

    What's weird is that you only have issue with one side of that statement. That not all of the Jan 6th idiots are bomb throwing cop killing racists, but no such defending of Antifa.

    First question: what defense should i provide for antifa in this instance?

    second question, what actions of antifa should i defend at all?

    if you mean their cause? I support it.
    If you mean thier attempts to rid fascism with fascism? I dont support it.

    third question. Did you missed where i repeatedly separated the few cop killers for the masses who were at the capital protesting?

    see? We agree! But that doesn't also make it true does it?
    because we have had good Conversations in the past that were fR from futile. So just because some people agree on something, doesnt make it a fact.
    See how that truth thing works?

    You've had a very strong defense of the Jan 6th idiots correctly pointing out that not all of them are bomb throwing cop killing racists, but not such defense that not all of the antifa idiots are arsonists.

    You're only concerned about the accurate portrayal of only one of these groups of idiots.

    not true at all. Its the continual inaccurate portrayal of downtown that has me pointing things no one says because they only care about dividing antifa and blm from law breakers. But when the capital happens they are all the same.
    So in return then all arsonists hanging with antifa make all those antifa the same.

    Your logic im using. You dont like it, change your logic.

    Nobody has a problem with anybody protesting on the 6th. The problem is with a political leader inciting violence (fight like hell!) against our capital. And with the brutal deaths and injuries that resulted from it.

    If I tell you to kill somebody and you don't do it, it's not really a big deal. Maybe I'm just joking...

    It's a whole different ball game if you actually do what I ordered you to do and people get hurt.

    So no. Not the same thing. Not even in the same ballpark.

    Who said everybody at the capital that day deserved to be punished?

    Anybody who broke in or hurt anybody should definitely be punished.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    So, what I'm learning is insurrection with intent to murder ("hang Mike Pence!"), intimidate law-makers and loot ("secure the electoral votes and evidence of wrong-doing!") is exactly equal with vandalism and arson.

    The fact that one ended up in murder and the other didn't is just minor facts that had nothing to do with the actual actions, just luck of the draw.

    Nope. I disrespectfully decline. And the amount of talking you’re doing justifies my perspective.

    Look, you're a good guy. I like you for that reason and I just wanted to end it before I turned you against me.
