I see.

There was so much privilege, hypocrisy, entitlement on display that day.

That's angering.

I still understand their insanity though.

The poor are still not quite poor or desperate enough to do the same and would be killed. They don't have the luxury of flying on the nice plane and assaulting police.

I pointed this out that very day as it happened. And people were too busy memeing. Heckling. Or inducing whataboutism.

We shouldn't want police killed. Or revolution. Or rebellion. Or insurrection. Or sedition. None are justified on the basis of lies. If the poor truly were pushed far enough thought. It would be a massacre. I believe poor people are extremely disenfranchised by our government. And punished by our culture. But I don't see them rioting as a specific cohesive group. So this middle class and petite burgeiouse. They are the most vulnerable. And dangerous. Beating them and shooting them isn't something either class, nor the police want to do either. I never said don't punish the rioters. The violent ones need to experience the full force of our system of so called justice.

If and when the poor truly rebell and have a true 'unity' and leadership. That'll be another discussion for another day. The capital riot wasn't this. The capital rioters were being fascist. And helped by fascists. And racists.

One of the double edged swords of wisdom. Is being aware of all this and understanding all of this.

Empathy. Isn't sympathy.
