Comment on Why does it feel like protesting isn't as "extreme" as it used to be?
Fleur_@aussie.zone 1 week agoRight. So using your definitions of protest, riot and insurrection and using your statement that protests, riots and insurrections are mutually exclusive; How would you describe a situation where a crowd is demonstrating their objection to the government with a violent uprising?
Every use of language is contextual and by forcing yourself into an absolutist understanding you’ll lose nuance in your interpretation.

It’s the end product that I am giving a definition. By the way, what did I “lose”? How am I a loser for caring about my young family and my country that I care about? Why is this a competition for you? I am an American who is worried about where this country is heading in many aspects of it (Dem and Republican alike). I do not belong to a single party and I vote my conscience on issues. So, I ask you again . . . What did I “lose”? I am worried about a corporate America where working class people are duped by their government officials and are losing the ability to make a living. If that makes me a “loser” than I guess we’re all losers. And if you think that I am the enemy (a fellow American) then we are definitely all “losers”.
