Not at all, I am protesting an abuse of the language that makes for a nearly Orwellian level of nonsense in thinking and speech. ‘Most of the protestors were non-violent’ is an intelligible and probably accurate statement. ‘Mostly peaceful protests’ first of all intrinsically refers to the protest as a singular entity, not addressing the individuality. That’s not my doing, that’s in the phrase, making the protest the subject, as opposed to the people. Secondly if you reread what I wrote, my main complaint is that the word ‘mostly’ is what journalistic editors refer to as a ‘weasel-world’. Weasel words make a statement that sounds descriptive but in fact could apply to almost anything. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weasel_word https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weasel_word Moving past semantics, it is worth noting that the violent protestors would be completely ineffectual without masses of nonviolent protestors to hide among. Anyway, I would love it if this writing falls on receptive eyes, I am concerned that the implication you made: that what I am writing is bigoted, could indicate you are not very interested in what I actually mean.
