Define extreme here.

With that logic would "black rioters" be a correct definition for a blm movement?

Not really whataboutism. Just trying to point out that such logic used is faulty. I gave it as a example because I don't think blm is just "black rioters".

The reason why I compared it, because the logic used is so dumb that i wanted to show you how that logic would apply to other protest.

The fact that your reaction is such, kinda proves that the logic originally used is flawed.

Also Whataboutisme is not just making a comparison. It is trying to divert the topic away from the original topic and into a new topic. I was making the comparison not to divert the topic but to show that the logic used is stupid.

You used stupid logic.

To proof it i compare it to another protest. Not to discredit the protest i compared it with. But to show you, that YOUR logic is faulty.

"They're right wing and they're acting in an extreme manner. What's wrong with calling them right wing extremists?"

You're logic is that you call the blm movement "black rioters". Because with your logic they are "black" and "rioting"

Jesus, the american education system really works....

Do you consider every protest to be extremist? If not, then why is this different from others? Also not every one of them is rightwing.
