You are the one who has been equating property destruction with "terrorism" and political violence. And apparently your violent terrorists are oppressed indigenous people in Canada who are reacting to generations of abuse by the owners of the property that you're so concerned about.

I tried to give you an analogy to help you understand what you were really saying, but I was obviously unsuccessful.

Do you still think that tearing down Confederate monuments is terrorism?
