I’m standing on nobody’s back or claiming to have any kind of moral high ground.

You sure af are. You cited a family members service to add credence to your statement.

Merely stating that antifa haven’t done enough so far towards their goal

Bruh you don't know up from down in terms of what you are talking about. You should just stop.

I've heard numerous firsthand accounts of what it was like on those beaches, I've been to protests and I've been pepper sprayed before. They're far from the same thing. I'm just working with the information that I personally have. If you think that the two are in fact comparable, I'd like to hear your reasoning.

If I "don't know up from down" in terms of what I'm talking about would you like to elaborate instead of just telling me to stop?

Have you actually served?

No?

Ok. We're done.

I never said I didn't serve and how would that matter exactly? Have you actually served fighting against fascism? Did you serve in WW2? You may have seen some shit but surely you wouldn't like protesters being awarded with the same kind of reverence a soldier gets?

If some of these protesters haven't served maybe they should shut up too because they don't seem to know anything. You're just using your service to lend credence to your non-argument.

I don't think it's proper to equate protestors with war heroes and I'm wrong because you've served. Okay, I'm convinced.
