Jan 6th was an act of treason promulgated by the then POTUS. Anyone conflating BLM and MAGAstans has already lost the argument. Whataboutism is the last bastion of the indefensible.

You should read the comments in the thread.

Gee have you seen what they say in the video? Is that acceptable?

You can’t be serious. 35 people died during the blm riots and over 3 billion in damages happened. On Trump’s inauguration, they tried to storm the white house lawn, forcing them underground. They set fire to a historical church and raided a police precinct, causing all of the police to flee. Thousands of cops were injured. There is no “whataboutism”. You simply lack the ability to see how bad your own side is while blaming others as if it was something that has never happened before.

My own side. You should stop listening to Fox News. Protesting police violence is the same as trying to overthrow the government, cancel democracy, and kill the VP as well as members of Congress? But yeah, they're exactly the same.

Odd I don’t watch fox news. Keep speaking out of your ass because violently “protesting police brutality” is no different than violently “protesting election fraud”. You see your own side and lack the ability to view other perspectives. Blm rioters are literally on camera saying they wanted to beat up every white person. You pick out nitpicked incidents like I can’t do the same for the left.

Why are you focused on BLACK Lives Matter? Why not any of the other protest movements? What is it about BLM that triggers you? How is it that you cannot differentiate between the violence of people who follow a lying, thieving, pretender who wanted to be president for life from people who have died at the hands of police, suffered from police brutality, and want equality under the law?
You don't have to answer, it's clear as day from "my side".

What about making America great again triggers you? We can shout buzzwords all day if you can’t comprehend the double standard there’s no point in discussing further

Lol. Ah, yes the Great Equivocator.

You’re both wrong. They were different and each was worse in its own way and neither should be used as an excuse for the other. It’s a dumb argument.

The BLM movement was based on the premise of equal rights and the statistically excessive number of police executions of black people, mostly male.
Philando Castile was shot and killed for trying to show his pistol permit after being stopped.
Dylan Roof, who randomly executed congregants at an AME church was taken into custody peacefully and taken to Burger King because he was hungry.
To sum, BLM protested a real problem. Jan 6 insurrectionists protested a made up problem.

They are both wrong is literally my point. People act like the left has never done anything nearly as bad as jan 6th and act as if they are totally appalled by it.

Nobody has done anything nearly as bad as Jan 6.
Most Americans are still outraged by the storming of the capitol.

This is a lie. The only people that died on jan 6th were Trump supporters and a cop from an allergic reaction. 35 people died during blm riots. How did you come to the conclusion that this is acceptable?

Someone can be legitimately appalled by something and also hold a blind spot in another context due to motivated reasoning. It doesn’t mean they’re faking it.
It’s a fine line between pointing out the hypocrisy (good) and using it as a way to downplay the wrongs on your side (bad).
While there are many differences between BLM riots and the capitol riot, they were both certainly cases of people with perceived grievances using violence in an attempt to overthrow systems of authority.

Ever seen gladiator? Criticizing dems in the reddit echo chamber is similar to that.

Yep it’s pointless unfortunately. These people make me sick defending a violent protest and then claiming you are racist if you don’t support it
