    Reddit lib: "I don't understand why these people [antifa/anarchists/BLM protestors] would do all this [property damage] in my city!!"

    "I think that reading something like The Conquest of Bread could help you better understand what might drive people to do this, you don't necessarily need to agree with it"

    "I'm more interested in their individual psychology than their driving ideology"

    ?????

      Deflection of responsibility to the individual, rather than the system. It's easier to blame people when you view them in isolation.

        Yeah I was also thinking about how they're rejecting the idea that someone could have a ideological/value system that thinks property damage as a protest is neutral or good or whatever, cause it surely must be a psychological issue I guess.

          Yeah but it's plural in this usage. I think they knew that, but they're making the point that the liberal mindset is still forced to focus on the responsibility or mindset of the individual protestors, even though it's obviously a group of people that we're talking about.
