> That's horrible. Indeed it is. And any other whataboutisms you bring up doesn't change that. The topic was about if there was any leftwing violence. Which there has been. 1-2 billion dollars worth in just that time period. Anything else you bring up doesn't erase that. > I said something mean about your local sports team. Actually, you seem to be the one who brought up other teams or sides when I stated a true fact. A fact that you haven't disagree with. You tried to downplay this in your original post and you were wrong to do so. "You brought up this bad thing, oh yeah, well what about this other completely unrelated bad thing that the other team did!" is precisely the team sports thinking that you have engaged in, not me.

  > I mentioned the leftist violence, and absence thereof Yes you did mention this. And it is wrong. As proven by the evidence that I showed you. > review financials about black people rioting That actually super racist of you. There was not some overwhelming majority of black people engaging in violence during those riots and I am not sure why you insinuated at such. The demographics of the people rioting were generally about the same as the demographics of relevant location of where the events. As should be expected. Additionally, the demographics of the more serious revolutionary/anarchist (and sometimes called antifa) type groups tend to be overwhelmingly white. The more peaceful protest groups that are focused on police reformed tend toward being full of people of color and aren't focused on overthrowing the government and implementing socialism/anarchism/whatever like the revolutionary groups are. > I've been whatabouticized I am not sure why you think a stupid fallacy is justified just because there is some other person in the world engaging in the same stupid fallacy. You have ironically just engaged in the same whataboutism again. In order to justify you engaging in whataboutism, you have once again appealed to "well some other person did it to me!". Team sports once again. If I were writing a joke about politics and fallacies in which I made fun of this behavior of justifying whataboutisms with a literal whataboutism, it wouldn't even be funny because it would be too over the top and on the nose.

      You quite literally just mischaracterized the riots of that time period as being caused by black people. Yes that is absolutely racist against black people and not true. The seriously violent groups are those that usually call themselves anarchist associated, and those groups are much more white than other groups.
