Sometimes there really are scumbags on both sides :shrug:
The rioters and looters are in a way worse than the idiots who stormed the Capitol, because their mindless and aimless destruction should have been taken to the people behind the police brutality, not the world around them.

You've lost touch with reality if you think looting is equivalent to attacking the bedrock of democracy. But hey, at least the 'I think both sides are bad' mask is slipping. You have always had a preference and you've always used the both sides **** to make the left look as bad as the right disingenuously. You've become radicalised and you don't even realise it, you're literally downplaying domestic terrorism, you're downplaying the fact that people who stormed the capitol had equipment on them to kidnap senators, to harm and kill with explosives. If you truly think that BLM is worse than that then you're truly a lost cause.
As for your ****ty propaganda, let's shred it piece by piece.
The first point, time frame doesn't matter, 9/11 lasted a few hours yet it had an acute effect on the world even 19 years later. Also protests lasted for months but there were far more peaceful protests than ones that descended into rioting. Many police departments in areas that descended into rioting pinpointed aggravation by far right elements as the cause of escalation. The domestic terrorists at the Capitol went with the intent to commit terrorist acts and they did just that.
Second point, there was plenty of people condemning the riots, including people within the BLM, the republicans focused on the riots like you do to simply undermine the message of the protests. Ultimately though, like the time frame point, it really isn't important who condemns what. The attack on the capitol is far worse than any looting and you're entitled to be wrong by believing that it isn't the case but that won't change the fact that you're wrong.
Third point, no one in the media encouraged riots, they encouraged peaceful protest and you're pushing a false narrative by saying that they encouraged looting.
Fourth point and fifth points, less force was used against the domestic terrorists than against BLM protesters. Less people died at Capitol because the police were practicing restraint while they did not during the BLM protests. Most of the people that died in the protests were protesters and you're right, there was a lack of sympathy for them, from the right and from you who obviously values property over lives. There was more sympathy for that murderer Kyle Rittenhouse from you and the right than there were for his victims who were made out to be aggressors and Kyle some innocent victim. There was more sympathy for that terrorist at Capitol who was shot for being a dumb moron than there was for all the victims of police brutality during the BLM protesters. If the BLM did what those terrorists did, the bodies of BLM would have littered the grounds. You cannot deny that given that in this picture itself, it shows that more people were killed protesting police violence than terrorists who stormed the ****ing Senate.
The rest of the points are the same really, spun facts, purposely omitted details that enable a false narrative of false equivalence.
At the end of the day, you are defending terrorists and their actions. You have no idea how radicalised you have become by doing that and I can only pity you for it.
