  If you want to enter into a discussion then use your brain and answer the extremely simple question asked of you.

    “why why why” and I did answer.

    Some questions for you as well. Do you agree or disagree there have been more riots in the last few weeks, than the preceding 5 years? This is the topic of discussion I stated at the start. If you don’t want to compare to the last five years, what time period would you pick instead?

    “uhhh” - what problem do you have with my initial statement? Do you have any response beyond “uhh”. Would you like to explain your thoughts on the topic?

    “Why 5 years” - as a general timeframe to discuss. I am not talking about all of history. Pick 10 years. Pick the time since conservatives took over. Pick the time labour was in power before that. Its arbitrary to allow for a focused discussion

    “Why should I pick a date” - because you are replying “why” to every comment. So you decide what time period you want to discuss.

    “im not trolling” - then engage in the discussion.

      “Why 5 years”

      I wasn’t asking why 5 years, I was asking why you’re saying the violence has ramped up compared to any time period at all? Why are you comparing to a time period?

        I wont bother replying after this unless you actually engage in the topic of discussion rather than constantly challenging the topic.

        If you have a problem with the topic, then like I have repeatedly said, suggest a different frame of reference.

        There has been more right wing violence (you know, the riots going on across the country?) than in the last x amount of years. More than the last 5 years. 10 years. 25 years.

        What other right wing violence at the scale of the current riots and violence has there been? If you disagree then share an example.

        Stop being obtuse.
