I am not an American. Were the Floyd protests anywhere near as chaotic as they were portrayed in the press? I recall hearing that most protests were nonviolent, just slightly property-damaging. Thanks!

In this context, "liberals" is more generalizing capitalism-apologists. This is not "democrats vs republicans" type of liberals. This context is more used by communists/tankies/true-lefties.

full disclosure, I am also posting my general understanding - I am basic.

edit: also, sure are a lot of "serious" comments in this 196 rule posting. Pretty sure "rule" was not meant for intelligent debate.

i would say “serious” comments on 196 are are rather the norm than the exception
