It doesn't matter how it's curated. I think it's disgusting to equate property damage with human life and abuse of the citizenry by the government, but it doesn't mean I support the former any more than I support the latter. It also doesn't make them equal.
I literallly didn't say it did, I explicitly anticipated and addressed your point in the post you are replying to.

Abuse of the citizenry by a government isn't magically worse than abuse of the citizenry by the citizenry, if your concern is the abuse of human beings. Especially when the latter far, far outweighs the former unless you distort and manipulate definitions of words that have been understood for centuries.

And obviously, I'm talking specifically about what is currently happening in America in the recent past and present. I'm not talking about say, North Korea. Ironically of course, the anti-free speech logic used by the American far left at present is indistinguishable from the rationale of the North Korean government; "Free speech doesn't mean freedom from consequence!". Herpty derp, can't possibly imagine how that notion would be wielded and abused.
