"Why should I?" was my question to you though? I asked why I should go to jail for rioting. You wanted riots, I welcomed you to come riot.

I am capable only of controlling myself, not others. I don't expect anyone to ever do anything for me, I'm American, and it would be a first.

You told me what all Americans need to do in order to earn your empathy. You don't see how fucked that is?

Do you have no respect or empathy for the Palestinians in Gaza right now? I assume you don't have empathy for them either since they are not rioting.

Fucking insane that you think I am the one not capable of self reflection.

Yes, I said you shouldn't go to jail, but above all I'm thinking of millions of people regarding riots. Again... "why should i"? Personally, I don't care if you voluntarily want to go into fascism and trample on basic democratic rights. It's not about my empathy, but how do you think the thinking of the rest of the world will change? Because you can see how you allow Trump to do just about anything. I mention riots not because I personally want them but because it is YOUR last and only chance to stop the change. But you don't seem to understand that. It's actively up to you citizens in America but you're both just embarrassing the other side. That's why I have no sympathy anymore... I just don't support or tolerate fascism.
