    Do you think actions like this ultimately scare people away from the left causing people to think leftists are unreasonably unlawful and violent?

      Maybe. But, it will happen nonetheless if the filthy rich don’t stop their march.

      Also, the people who feign sympathy for the filthy rich are suffering under the delusion that they are as rich, or will be someday. People with $50 million don’t know which side of the wall they’re on.

      Laws in capitalist countries are written to protect private property and capital. With ICE raids killing hundreds of innocent people, violating the law does not look like a big deal.

      Nah I think we’re past the point where ahitloads of regular people understand that violence isn’t always unreasonable, as the positive reactions to these stories show

      Yeah, it’s not going to do wonders for polarisation. But on the whole, you do hope that people realise it’s a spectrum. Ie, not everyone on the left is a violent terrorist, not everyone on the right is a genocidal racist, and that echo chambers are very much a thing.
