Comment on UK riots: Judge hands down longest jail sentences yet
steeznson@lemmy.world 3 months agoThank you for providing this extra context. I don’t think that people are really interrogating the circumstances properly when they compare sentences. Roger Hallam is a bona fide weirdo too - anyone who has not heard him being interviewed should listen to 5 mins of him describing his worldview.

Yeah, when you actually look at a lot of protest movements lemmy blindly supports they’re deeply problematic in many ways, of course people want easy answers and glib heros so they’ll get mad if you try and demonstrate nuance.

I don’t think that’s actually true. Honestly it seems like a very limited subset that actually support these actions. Context and nuance be damned.
