Almost nobody would disagree with that statement but I'm sure you know that. Suggesting that the majority on the left (aka "progressives") support the looting is extremely disingenuous.
It's plainly obvious what the real purpose of a comment like that is.
It's funny how you yourself have immediately labelled me as being a non-left having read the comment that I made. Our most urgent threat may be the right wing conservatives at this very moment, but sooner or later we will face a real reckoning with what we thought were our most outspoken allies. Be careful with how you use the term progressives, because thought policing and book burning is anything but.
a recent example would be an IKEA HR firing a bigot in Poland
people seem can't detach from the instance and see the bigger picture: workers have literally protested decades against getting terminated for opinion crimes, and now because in this instance society sides with the corporate it looks like we're immediately ready to throw away all our hard fought rights to let corporate fire someone for having the wrong opinions (especially since they could have just claimed the bigot word where harassment toward another employer and let justice so the work for them)
but mention the bigger issue on a discussion and see how fast the topic moves back to the instance and the commenter thrown into the pit with the far right anti LGBT bigots keywords of his view on the instance.
