it's pretty obvious why that would be the case, dont you think?
first, the op comes from a particular political position.
after the usual ustwo effect was nuetralized, you find a conversation that seems to me to be geared around two basic questions:
1. the general linkage between increased class polarization and the transformation of state violence.
2. the conservative fear of public dissent.
stevo, for example, appears to be resistant to the notion that there is a distinction between public protest and anarchy--he seems to assume that all public protest is in itself anarchy--the reasons for this are not clear, but from the posts above, it seems that the lynchpin that functions of many that does not function for him (what would enable the distinction to be made between public protest and anarchy) is that he does not approve, for whatever reason, of who he imagines the protestors to be and "proves" the point by resorting to tedious stereotypes.
that seems to me to be the thread in a nutshell so far.
