No, it is most definitely true. You don’t get to use the victims as an excuse to take away my rights.

So I’ll say it again, my rights trump your dead. Always.

Dude, I was saying that your statement was absolutely correct, just as correct as it is useless as an argument. You understand that the point of debate is to convice people, typically those on the fence, yeah?

You're saying that telling people - who are entirely unsure about something - that dead children mean less than that something existing doesn't actually win those people over?!

That's why you follow the patented Patton tactic of making the sunuvabitch counter-revolutionary sacrifice their life for it instead. ;)

Sure, but nine times out of ten, the Counter-Revolutionaries are also following that very tactic. Believe it or not, they want "Death for my ideals" about as much as the Revolutionaries do :p

The state has the police and military, along with all their weapons, resources, and organisational and communications capabilities.

The only people risking their lives would be the revolutionaries, the risk to security personnel is minute.

You're right, Paris isn't a good example. How about... I don't know... the Paris of the Middle East, which underwent a 15 year civil war.

Or, shit I don't know, a place where there was free medical care, good jobs, and a high standard of living. That would never dissolve into bloody conflict.

What is happening in France is not a good example. It is a nuisance and nothing more, the Yellow Vests are not trying to overthrow the French government.

If the French government wanted to, it could easily crush them. However, that would look bad and it isn't necessary.

Thing is, our protests are always violent from the start, at least to some extent.
There is definitely no revolution coming here, tho.

Fair yes, but who said I wanted to be fair in this circumstance?

Common sense says you want to be fair in is circumstance. Human rights need to be universal, otherwise they're hollow and unsustainable. The people you oppose need to have rights as well or civil society is nonexistent, only chaos can follow.

Can playing fair cause you to lose? Sometimes, but I'd rather lose fairly than win by cheating. I'd rather fail to stop the rise of evil than become evil in order to do so.

Fairness may seem like something a kindergartener would spout, but that is only because it's so elementary a five year old could see it.

They have a point. To place the lives of children above rights in every case would mean peohibiting anything that has the potential to kill children.
