Dear Americans,
I am not an American. Were the Floyd protests anywhere near as chaotic as they were portrayed in the press? I recall hearing that most protests were nonviolent, just slightly property-damaging. Thanks!
Sincerely, rambling_lunatic

Considering that US liberals were the main participants in the Floyd protests, 'arguing with liberals' seems like a bizarre label for this.
In this context, "liberals" is more generalizing capitalism-apologists. This is not "democrats vs republicans" type of liberals. This context is more used by communists/tankies/true-lefties.
full disclosure, I am also posting my general understanding - I am basic.
edit: also, sure are a lot of "serious" comments in this 196 rule posting. Pretty sure "rule" was not meant for intelligent debate.
i would say “serious” comments on 196 are are rather the norm than the exception
