Illegally smuggle someone … then arrest them for illegal smuggling. Projection much?

If he was left-wing, this would be prosecuted (and propagandized by the media) as terrorism.

Tbf I still wouldn’t call it “violent,” violent and peaceful are not a binary choice, things can be not peaceful but also not violent. I’ll accept that wasting tea isn’t peaceful, but you’ll never convince me it’s violent.

Yep, That’s like the point I made in another comment. I only originally implied that the tea party wasn’t peaceful(using sarcasm), that doesn’t mean I thought it was violent.

At this point I’m suspecting you’re just criminally British and see assault against tea as the highest form of treason, or should I say teason.

Is what I get for not putting the /s with the obvious sarcasm? smh

If it makes you happy to imagine me as an ye old British tea enjoyer outraged about tea parties 300 years ago go for it lol.

The commenter I replied to. I was using a hypothetical situation to refute his claim that the tea party was peaceful. Violent actions aren’t always unjust and vis versa.

Good point about how these protests aren’t really violent. I think there’s a distinction between peaceful and violence. Property destruction is not peaceful behavior but it is not necessarily violent or always morally unjustified in my opinion. Context matters with violence a lot.

Relevant quote- “If you’re not careful, the media will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” - George Carlin

I didn’t mention them at all. I was using sarcasm to show how ridiculous it is to claim destroying stuff is peaceful. As for right now, I think a lot of yelling and a little bit of property damage is a whole a very valid even if tame response to violent kidnapping of your neighbors.

So if some random group comes in your home and throws all your stuff outside in the rain to destroy it, According to you they are being peaceful? Very peaceful behavior, Indeed.
