I am always enlightened by the contrast of righteous indignation of those respectable Americans, at a fringe component of protestors defacing buildings, yelling mean epithets etc,

while staying silent about the murder and massive destruction our country is funding: 40,000 dead and multiples of that number maimed and facing starvation and disease. Mostly children.

The contrast to me is stark.

“How dare these young upstarts get upset & participate in a protest that is not completely proper & respectful of property.”

This happened with The 2020 protests, with the Vietnam protests etc. Jump on them for not doing their protest correctly. Ignore the content of their message.

Meanwhile you are silent and accepting of the documented atrocities of the American funded IDF.

Something is wrong in the Village.

Tons of hypocrisy for sure. You can't kneel for the National Anthem but you can manipulate the flag all you want in the cause of MAGA. Or...the summer riots of 2020 were really bad things but the assault on the Capitol was an anomaly and shouldn't be a big concern. The resulting investigation was partisan therefore we support anyone who refused to comply with subpoenas about simply answering questions regarding anything they knew about the attack. You would think that would NOT be a partisan thing...but if you have stuff to hide...it becomes one.
