i really resent the continued assertion that thereβs so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. weβre angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and theyβre angry because weβre calling them out for it.

I think they just got bored and embarrassed and want to move to the next stage of immiseration for the people they hate, and came up with a lie to justify it post hoc.
