    My thoughts:

    I would like the authorities to suppress 'drastic' actions like these with extreme prejudice. Publicly and unambiguously. If necessary with violence.

    If you don't heed one warning to move along or stop acting silly, you'll get clubbed. If you feel the need to throw stones or firebombs or loot you get shot.

    There's right to assembly, freedom of expression, protest. That's all good.

    But when somebody crosses the line into civil disobedience, obstruction, vandalism I want the state to enforce law and order.

    Indiscriminate of motive, age, sex, political position. Environmentalists, racists, football fans, yellow vests, brown shirts, globalists, nationalists, feminists, tax advisors, striking lorry drivers, flat earthers, maga hatters, whatever.

    I think if anyone crosses the line they need to suffer real consequences real quick and the rest of the people need to see these consequences.

    I think the principle of power monopoly with the state is a good thing. Enforcement is necessary, essential to democracy and liberal society.

    And not currently done enough in the western democracies. I think what the people need is more authority. More of the big stick. Like, the dose make the poison and right now I think there's too much liberalism, too little authoritarianism.

    Fuck em up.
