re: #238 Sergey Romanov

You quoted two barely related statements. What do you expect me to say?

In one statement, you’re saying that it’s bad to compare the wrongdoings of rich people exploiting society with the wrongdoings of poor people reacting to that exploitation without pointing out a causal link.

In the other statement, you’re saying that the causal link between people being disenfranchised in society and their wrongdoings is a “truism” and doesn’t need to be repeated quite so often.

I don’t really know what I expect you to say at this point. Probably that the rioters are bad, can’t be excused, and should be locked up.
