Quote (NetflixAdaptationWidow @ Oct 23 2022 11:01am)
If an election not going your way is an injustice then you don't believe in democracy and your opinion can be disregarded.
And maybe they think your opinion can be disregarded if you thought
that...
The problem isn't about whether it was an injustice or which side is right. Its about how you unilaterally proclaim people to be wrong and you don't even feel anything wrong with it.
Why do you automatically assume an almost judge-like position? Why do you feel that you get to pass judgment on whether other people believe in democracy and whether they should be disregarded? If I put myself in the saddle and say that your opinion on this matter should be disregarded, for any reason at all, how would you feel? Why do you fail so badly at seeing things from other people's perspective?
And even if it were the case that they did not believe in democracy (which they do, I am just speaking hypothetically), why is this grounds for disregarding someone's opinion? Can you tell me what situations justify disregarding people's opinion?

Revolution and protests being justified requires examining the actual situation not just opinions on the situation.
I didn't say you shouldn't examine the situation. I am just saying that regardless of the situation behind them, they have similarities in that they both cause disruption and violence. So if you want to be consistent, you have to condone both.
