The point I'm trying to make is that everyone is wearing a mask for the same reason: to prevent retribution for their beliefs and according actions.
They don't "know what they're doing is wrong", they just know that other people think that and will target them for it, which is the exact same reason protestors wear them.
There's a difference between wearing a mask because you are engaging in wrongdoing and wearing a mask to prevent unjust retaliation. Even if the actual motive is the same, the implications are very different
The only difference is what you consider to be "wrong" or "just".
I am not the arbiter of what is/isn't wrong, but there are some general consensus among the public as well as pertinent legal frameworks.
That's what you're doing though
Some beliefs require retribution. Some causes are righteous. Fuck off with your false equivalencies. Rioters aren’t employed by the people- law enforcement is.
Fuck you too buddy
I hope you get everything you deserve.
Thank you
the government should always identify itself to the people
the people should, by default, not be identified by the government
the power imbalance is important: the government is a large and powerful entity which is meant to serve the people without prejudice. people are individually small, and only gain their power from being a large group. the government is given power by the people in order for it to perform tasks beneficial to all, and must be accountable to the people
Your point is moot.
For the people by the people or did you forget?
What do you think that phrase means? The gov just let's people do whatever they want?
Go home Lars, you are drunk and Napster is dead.
