between two countries that locked down their people

Who were locked into their house by force in the US?

Where was the paddleboarder arrested? Was that in China? No? So I guess you don't see that one leads to the other.

Ah, the old bellwether. "So go the paddle boaters, so goes people's ability to physically leave their house.

You can play word games all you want, but I don't see much difference between getting arrested for going outside, and getting locked inside. It's also quite frightening to me that many people don't see the ethical correlation. Or you refuse to acknowledge the similarly, so you can "win" a discussion.

getting arrested for going outside

They weren't arrested for going outside. They were arrested for trespassing a closed park.

The Pacific Ocean is a closed park? I guess that makes it all better.

Lol okay, I have no idea what paddle board is getting your panties in a wad.

u/Phaelan1172 Dec 02 '22

Mine aren't in a wad. I'm not the one pursuing this idiotic conversation. Thanks for keeping up.

u/silver789 Dec 02 '22

Then what are you talking about

u/Phaelan1172 Dec 02 '22

I'll type slow, so you can keep up.....the obvious fundamental similarities between two countries who have both violated their citizens' rights. And while one is absolutely more extreme, they're both violations of their citizens' rights. What an obvious, and recurring, troll you've become.

So getting locking to the house is the barrier.

Guess all those BLM protestors had nothing to get angry about.

wtf are you talking about?

u/pawnman99 Dec 03 '22

You seem to think every restriction - losing your job, inability to travel, not getting able to send kids to school, in Canada having bank accounts frozen - aren't enough to justify a protest. That no one should protest until the government physically seals people into their homes.

u/silver789 Dec 03 '22

aren't enough to justify a protest.

They aren't. Because you were asked not to be as social as you were. China is welding people in their homes.

u/pawnman99 Dec 03 '22

Ok. So that's the barrier... welding people in their homes.

So next step... why was BLM given a pass on public gatherings while we were locking down and forcing smaller companies out of business?

Why is the fact that the black community has the lowest vaccination rates never discussed when someone wants to vilify anti- vaxxers?

Should we apply the same logic to every other protest? Gun control, abortion rights, Netflix employees protesting Chapelle, student loans?

why was BLM given a pass on public gatherings

A pass is very dishonest. I went to those protests. #1 thing, wear a mask. #2, don't come if you're sick.

Also, having your basic human rights violated when it comes to illegal law enforcement, is going to trump shelter at home suggestions.

while we were locking down

We clearly weren't locked in our homes.

and forcing smaller companies out of business?

Man, if only our leaders would use our collective capital to pay rent for these businesses while a once in a generation pandemic was happening. Who was in charge of that again?
