Slippery Slope. Start censoring one thing, and others are sure to follow.

Ouch. Read through your posts. Seemed too fact based and rational for Reddit to allow it to remain visible.

So many ignorant schmucks who don't even understand what racism means.

I have had a similar experience at Askscience. Still trying to reach out and find mods there that aren't biased.

For modern values of conservative, sure. At the time? No. Pushing for equal rights was bleeding edge liberal. Liberal and Conservative labels change over the years. Conservatives resist change. Liberals seek change. That's a overstatement, sure, but it's actually a pretty solid basic definition. So, after liberals make a change and it sticks for a few decades, and isn't toxic (like abortion), it becomes part of what it means to be conservative. Free the slaves? Liberal in the 1860's. Conservatives accepted it in the 1900's. Women's Sufferage? Liberal in the early 1900's. Conservatives accepted it in the 1950's. End Jim Crow laws? Liberal in the 1960's. Conservatives acepted it in the 1980's. MLK was a liberal. He wanted to end Jim Crow and give his people true equality under the law.

Every now and then, the protestors stop the rioters, sure. It happens, but it does not happen reliably and often. Seriously. Look at the history of the MLK marches and demonstrations. They were enormous, and the number of burned out cars and buildings was nearly zero. It might have actually been zero, but I'm having vague memories that some of MLK's early marches were also attended by Black Panthers, who were much more willing to do violence. The current protests by the Left are disgusting and are generating zero sympathy from the undecided voters and fence-sitters.

When the protestors simply let the looters do whatever they want, they are not being responsible citizens. Read up on Martin Luther King's marches. His people stopped rioters, looters, violent individuals in most cases before the cops needed to step in. Of course, the Left has no large name individual actively leading them, only hidden people funding them.

Ad Hominem much?

While what you say makes sense in words, when you compare actions, it all falls apart. How many conservative rallies have turned into riots? It's not like the Left can't do peaceful protests. MLK certainly proved it works. The problem for the Leftists here is that the population base who agrees with their ideals is a tiny minority. They are forced to embed their activities in the demonstrations of other groups who have more legitimate issues, then corrupt those protests and instigate rioting or other illegal activities. In essence, the Leftists are parasites of the Liberals.
