As for protests, majority as I said are peaceful. A handful were non-peaceful, of that handful there were false flag operations committed by right wing fringe groups, and law enforcement or unidentified federal officers agitating protestors. Does that mean there was zero violence or looting that wasn't a result of provocation or false flags? No. It just means of the small portion of non peaceful protests, most of them involved bad faith actors. The biggest examples being the Umbrella man who was attempting to start looting/violence by going around breaking windows, he was apart of the hells angles. The trump bible photo opt, where the protestors were peacefully expressing their rights and were unlawfully attacked by officers to clear them out so Trump could have a photo opt. And the biggest one being the recent discharge of federal agents who were both unwelcomed by the city and state, and did not create an operation or plan with local law enforcement, recent reports showed that after they had left the protests in portland where they were discharged went back to being peaceful.
So you can sit here and be irrational all day long, just don't expect to get away with it when I see the dumb shit you say. And guess what if me pointing out your cognitive biases and fallacies upsets you, THEN GOOOOOOOD! Because it fucking should, you should be upset with yourself for conducting yourself in an illogical manner. But thats likely not the case, and instead you're just upset because I didn't just tell you you were wrong, or correct you, I fuckin went the extra yard and explained WHY you were wrong or rather unsound. A hindsight bias offers no solution, nor is it a valid justification. If you go to a doctor for a broken arm, the doctor doesn't say "well you shouldn't have jumped off the roof if you didn't want a broken arm" then send you home. He tells you about the problem, whether it's fractured broke, what place, etc... then he solves it.
Edit: Just to drive home why your point is unsound let me throw out some more examples of hindsight bias.
A women gets pregnant, doesn't want the child, so she has an abortion. The doctor doesn't say "well you shouldn't have had sex if you didn't want to have a baby", that would provide no solution, it's a hindsight bias, in hindsight, that may be the case, but to make that your "whole point" would be you committing hindsight bias.
Do you understand what I am saying to you? or are you displaying another cognitive bias at this very moment as you read this, the backfire effect? Does me pointing these things out to you, reinforce your previous beliefs or unsound point? If so, you're actively displaying the backfire effect. Hope this pisses you off, because thats the only way you're going to get it through your head.
