Leaving aside the very real and important differences between the 2020 civil rights protests and the January insurrection, let’s look at the numbers. It’s all but impossible to get hard numbers on the participants in each, but we can make some not unreasonable guesses.
A little more than 700 people have been charged in the insurrection. Let’s estimate that 2000 people participated. Estimates for participation in the civil rights protests range from 15-26 million. I’m gonna split the difference and round down…call it 20 million people.
1 person was killed in the insurrection and an estimated 20 in the protests. This means that the protestors in 2020 would had to have killed 10 000 people to equal the proportionate loss of life in the insurrection. Looked at another way, if the protests were on the same scale as the insurrection, the odds would have been 10 000 to 1 against anyone dying. Looked at yet another way, the insurrection was 10 000 times more deadly than the protests.

Seems like we might have to add some deaths to the insurrection's column in the floyd protests, what with accelerationists pleading guilty to firing on law enforcement in the hopes to start rahowa.
Threads boring, uppity minorities and their allies aren't a greater threat to these united states than domestic terrorism, and the death toll between the two isn't even close to comparable.

How many were killed due right wing riots in DC?
Why do you think the two are comparable?

OLB "They do it too"
No you don't understand OLB. Blacks are not being unrestful because they lost a fair election, they are being unrestful because they are tired of being kicked in the nuts.
White people on the other hand, they are buying bullshit conspiracies from a con artist because they fear losing their social pecking order.

Because the angry guy yelling in his car parked at the Chik'fila made very compelling arguments on the facebook video he saw.

Some of them are nuts, like our buddy OLB - they believe that shit. Probably goes some way to exlaining why they act the way they do. They think this is how it's done, this is how the other guys play. That they're doing coups to us, so we have to coup their coup.

How many people died in the communist riots against Nazi Germany?
How many people died trying to get civil rights in Mississippi?
How many people died fighting the expansion of the US into native lands?
The value of the cause can be determined by whether it is worth dying for. Trying to overthrow an election is treason. Trying to get civil justice is not.
