I'm not gonna link to it directly because fuck reddit but if you want to see for yourself just go to the sub and look at the top posts. All outraged "patriots" defending the government and the police and calling the attackers traitors and every other loyalist, statist, pro-big government name under the sun.
See this is what you lolberts here need to understand: people are not bound by real principles. People use the concept of "principle" simply as a debate tactic, before shit hits the fan.
Of course they say "ThIs Is DiFfErEnT!" because apparently the protestors are attacking the government in order to keep Trump in power. Well, the revolutionaries ousted the British monarchy and installed George Washington as a leader, guess they were EVIL TRAITOR FASCIST BAD GUYS!
And yes, they were....from the perspective of the British loyalists.
So yeah, lolberts are anti-government right up until they don't like the people fighting the government, or something else that inconveniences them or they disagree with, then they flip flop harder than a seal on crack.
What this ALL amounts to, is acquisition of power. That's all ANYONE truly cares about. Which group has the power. There is no principle, there is no idealism involved here. When your side is winning, everything is just and fair and going the way it's meant to go. When your side is losing, everything is evil and bad and [insert pejorative like fascist/communism/evil/megabad/etc].
This should be a wakeup call to lolberts and fence sitters that nothing will ever be decided through discourse or principles, only through action. There is no NAP, there are no "human rights", there is just the guy with the gun, and the guy he's pointing the gun at. Choose which one you want to be.
