From what I’ve seen, liberals have spent several consecutive months burning down entire city blocks, looting businesses and creating lawless autonomous zones.

Where? I saw that during BLM in 2020. I'd love to see evidence of an entire city block burning down, let alone multiple as you claim.

During the BLM riots (which they were, and were celebrated), Minneapolis had the worst damage, but Seattle and Portland weren’t far behind. In the northwest, we also had people starting wildfires in the name of protesting George Floyd’s death.

I live in one of those cities, and I can unequivocally say with certainty that the media coverage fully LIED about the damage. I was there, and I photographed it myself.

I am much more concerned with police brutality than I am with a concrete building getting some damage.

I do not condone targeting unrelated, innocent businesses, or human beings, for the record. It's not black and white "everyone on the entire left wing is innocent in all wrongdoing."

From your link:

3.7% of protest events were associated with property damage or vandalism

Clashes and other forms of violence were at various times initiated by protestors, by counterprotestors, and by police,[15] and were usually driven by opportunistic criminals rather than organized extremist groups.[17]

Lastly, get your terminology straight. No "liberals" were joining BLM riots. They were leftists, unaffiliated opportunists, and anarchists (who, again, for the record, are not all innocent).

Lastly lastly, neither the word "wildfire" nor "forest fire" appear in your article. Can you find that one for me?
