--why law & order important, and burning & looting against the law.-- yep. and the metaphor. one of the dominant u.s. capitalist/corporate/business guides/ethics is to profit by "burning" down organizational structures via 'disruption' to 'exploit' 'creative' 'opportunities'... which has been called 'looting' by some. but, of course, when the underclass turns these metaphors back on the wealthy/privileged... well, those folks get all hot and bothered. go figure... rhyming the french revolution? dunno.

There seems to be an overarching, stealth, seldom discussed, trend in the US and that is diminishing property rights. Destructive riots, rent moratoriums, forced business closures, artificial near 0% interest rates, increasing deficit spending, etc. are all screaming your property is ours to do with as we please. Everybody is hoping that the trend it temporary and will reverse soon as Covid eases, but will it? More commonly discussed is the "temporary" erosion of personal rights. Either one is bad. Both together mark the decline of the empire and they are currently hitting new lows...
