re: #226 Sergey Romanov

Um, no, I said no such thing. What you “think” I said is quite irrelevant.

Here’s what I “think” you said:

The relationship you write about does not explain the rhetorical “chump change” comparison, where the wrongdoings (and not the wealth itself) of the guys in suits are compared to the wrongdoings of the rioters without a causal link between them offered in the comparison itself.

re: #162 Sergey Romanov

I’m explaining that, if you disenfranchise huge swathes of the population, you’re going to get rioting.

That’s a truism at this point. I don’t know why people need to repeat it that often.
