    What if I blew up a water tower?

    Or burned down every grocery store in the city? (At night, while no-one was there to get hurt)

      Who is the intended audience of that comment that you believe will equate sources of food and water to swasticars?

        He didn’t say “swasticars.” He said “property.” Property damage can absolutely be violence against civilians.

        My audience would be anyone tempted to think that planting a burning cross in the yard of a black family does not count as violence against civilians, because it’s just property damage.

          I wonder where you were when that guy showed up and beat Paul Pelosi almost to death with a hammer. Laughing probably, along with most Republicans

          Hahahaha, you went and one-upped your own stupid comment. Yes, clearly any rational person sees vandalizing swasticars to be just as evil as destroying essential infrastructure for human survival or terrorizing innocent people with racial hatred that has historically let to their murders.

          You’re a fucking idiot cosplaying as an iNTelLecTuAl.

          You’re also blocked because you’re a waste of everyone’s time.

      Then your act of vandalism/sabotage would have effects that harms people. Is this so difficult for you to understand? SMH.

        It’s quite easy to understand. But you said “Property damage is not violence against civilians.”

        Clearly property damage can be violence against civilians.

          Yeah, I get the argument that you’re trying to make, but this is a really shitty time to play devil’s advocate.
