no not really, I do agree with most of what you said except that you think he was there deliberately as an "agent of chaos". Hes just a dumb 17 year old kid. My only main argument was that, while he may have been there instigating and just being a general asshat, I do not think he went there with the intention of killing anybody and ruining his entire life, but he got himself into a fucked up situation where it came down to his life vs the people he was instigating and decided to attack him violently.

So the people who were rioting, looting and burning down private businesses were not the instigators?

Interesting take

anyway, we can pretend ignorance as to the source of his direction which got the two people killed and upended his life and likely baked-in his radicalization for life, tearing his soul forever to shreds and sentencing him to decades of forlorn lonely nihilistic hatred if you like. it just means you and I are never going to get anywhere in conversation, since you're using absurd standards of reasoning you learned on television where the only goal is to survive to the next round on the thinnest plausible deniability. I'm sure those sorts of blinders were working on people even in the gas chambers, maybe even after their children fainted and seized from the "delousing agent": Heeeelp! You're killing us! How confused they must have been to see the smiling unhelpful faces of authority figures look back through the glass. This doesn't line up with the explicit verbal rationale I have always taken flatly at face value! They must have thought.

There's a concept called "heuristics". Boils down to pattern recognition. You can think of the human mind as an engine of overlapping heuristics it has been building since "you" started slapping blocks around in a diaper. Using their power opens wild possibilities -- it's like adding legs to the mind's torso. Allows you to see and understand the obvious right in front of your face without twisting into an unloveable pretzel, losing ever more respect for your own ego as you and your family descend further into stupidity to conform with outmoded ideology. Approaching information earnestly allows you to stand tall and smile when you meet exceptional people who come in good faith, glad to meet them, instead of digging around in your pocket for disgusting objects tainted with your grody life to hurl at them. You're deliberately disabling your heuristic engine here. The start of that road is the end of meaningful conversation. The end is to believe everything you hear from your chosen narrative authority.

In short, I don't have much respect for your current configuration. My starting advice is to maybe stop muddying the waters in apologia for unhelpful acts that result in death and chaos. If your animus is so ugly that you have to cloak it by coming at me and this rittenhouse thing sidelong, maybe you ought to be ashamed of it enough to reject it and evolve.

anyhow I am a very busy lady. busy with self-directed action that isn't parroted all over any major meme site or social media. so you are coming at me with the entirely wrong tack. Yes, this poor child has likely lost many beautiful years of life to having surrendered his agency to vicious internet memes. I do think that. I am able to think this obvious thing because I own a brain which can see patterns and I don't throw out the patterns I don't like with laughably thin pretext to fit some unrelated narrative because that would damage my self-esteem.

When you find yourself unable to see the nose on your face because of ideology it is time to reject that ideology BlackBellamy-chan. You can still enjoy Tucker Carlson as a guilty pleasure.
So it's jealousy then. I wasn't asking if or implying you were lazy. I'm sorry that must have been one sensitive nerve I laid my giant balls on. To clarify I don't think you understand the difference between busywork, doing stuff just to do it or because it has to be done, and having a raison d'être motivate you to principled action. To someone who doesn't understand idealism that would be role-playing.

Anyway, I would suggest you start ignoring second-order patterns. Not actual patterns, like a leopard lurking in the brush. I mean ones where you start to make connections, the ones where one thing leads to another and another and then...eureka! Your brain isn't sufficiently developed to separate the wheat from the chaff. And the smarter you think you are the worse it gets. Next thing you know you're explaining 'heuristics' to someone you know for a fact knows all the big words.
