This comment could be copy pasted on a video supporting the January 6th storming of the Capitol, and it would fit right in and receive upvotes. I am not making any moral judgements either about Kazakstan or January 6th, just an observation on context and how it affects our perception.

I explicitly said any type of revolution, for and against democracy. It is just an observation based upon history. Please do not use my words to mark me as a, and I quote, supporter of the storming of the Capitol. It is not appreciated, and your comment sounds like flame bait.

  That's not what they're doing.

    What is it that they're doing? I'm not Kazakh so I'd be interested in hearing your Kazakh opinion as their representative.

      And that's not what I was talking about. throwawayacc2 was clearly not trying to paint 1_player as supporting the 1-6 insurrection, but making a meta point about the latter's argument.

  Sorry it came across that way, that was not my intention. It is an observation on the form of the comment and how the same sentiment can be seen in different groups. For what is worth I agree with your observation on history.

This gets even more contrast if you compare video evidence and try to assert the amount of firearms used. Really makes you think how stretchable the images of "peaceful protestors" and "dangerous terrorists" can get.

  I'm not aware of firearms being used on anyone at the capitol except the [unarmed] woman who was shot by secret service/capitol police.

    And yet they are "terrorists", but thugs who use firearms against police, and raid armory's are simply "protestors".

They are not "defending", they are THE cause and the target of a shoot to kill order. There are already 19 from "MVD" reported dead. A shoot to kill order would be implied by default in any developed country, as soon as the first serviceman was wounded, especially with a firearm. It's surprising that the government did not respond properly and in time.
