You're comparing apples and oranges. You're comparing the results of the former (which you have painted in an incredibly rosy light) to the potential outcomes of the latter.

If we look at the potential outcomes of the BLM/Antifa riots, there's no reason to believe that they couldn't have destroyed our democracy.

Or, if we compare the actual outcomes, it's not quite as rosy for your apparently preferred riots: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25706651

I suspect you understand that you are doing this, and that you are comfortable with the charade. More and more people are beginning to see through the kind of spin you and others present, however, and are coming to resent you powerfully for it.
