When discussing the government's overreach in quelling a protest, it doesn't matter to me if the protest was funded by the Estate of Adolph Hitler, Philip Morris Tobacco and the Society for the Preservation of Crying Babies on Airplanes.
It's the fact of the government's action that's in question. If they could do what they did with impunity, imagine what they will do with impunity when if you protest they can turn off the faucet that feeds your family.
- grecy 3y ago> When discussing the government's overreach in quelling a protest, it doesn't matter to me if the protest was funded by the Estate of Adolph Hitler I feel exactly the opposite. The estate of Adolph Hitler could fun a protest against the law limiting hate speech, or the law against murder. If some foreign group pays them, millions will show up, and probably commit crimes and be violent and destroy property while they're at it. In that case, I want the government to quell such a stupid protest that frankly would make our society worse if the protesters got what they wanted (or, more accurately, got what they were paid to say they wanted, but in fact have no care in the world about). What the protest is about, and if it is really the view of the general population absolutely makes a difference in how the government should react.
