When people like Mr Lux came out when the US faced the same problem, the media called them right wing extremists and racists.

@Loren1389 False. They're exactly comparable. They were as right wing as Mr Lux.

@Loren1389 It's not. It's what people were doing in yankville too. And they were called rightwing and racist for their trouble. You don't seem to be getting what's being said to you, if they're rightwing and racist for doing it, so is Mr Lux. If Mr Lux and his friends are a heros, so are they. They're a 1:1 comparable situation you have to apply the same logic to both.

@Loren1389 Apparently you weren't paying attention, to either situation. Mr Lux wasn't defending against starvation, he was defending against looters so that the businesses in the mall, the largest employer in the village don't go bankrupt. He was supported by 2500 SA troops. In yankville they did the same, their risk of limited food access was the same, but no military was deployed and any talk of police stepping up their crackdown to regain control and security was also labelled rightwing and racist. They're 1:1 comparable. Your cognitive dissonance is showing

One might consider that facts @Loren1389 before making such asinine comments It's always quite amusing when those with no argument attempt to save face by claiming to "not have the time to explain" (ie. to make their argument) despite taking the time to write multi-paragraph comments to express their lack of time. It's almost as transparent as someone who goes to the trouble to say how much they don't care. It's made all the more transparent by the reality that you initially replied to me. Our entire exchange is down to the reality that you have the time to reply, not just to me but to others as well. You have no argument. The 2020 yankville riots indeed did result in deaths, life changing injuries, rapes, financial hardship, homelessness and *limited access to essential goods*. It too was the weaponisation of the disenfranchised segments of society as part of a political power struggle between individuals. Those are the facts and they make it a 1:1 comparable event. If your understanding of an event or subject matter ends at a headline, you probably shouldn't attempt to comment on it, lest you look a fool.
