          No, this is just rioting. That’s not to say rioting is bad, it got redlining and segregated neighborhoods banned, and is an important part of peaceful demonstrations, as it shows what the consequences will be if they don’t give into your demands.

              What hidden value judgement? I pointed out that rioting or other violent action, or at least the credible threat of, is necessary for any progress.

                You’re both right.

                Often, descriptors like simply, only, just, etc. are used to diminish or manage perceptions of dissent.

                However, saying ‘no it’s just a riot’ in this case is merely accurate grammar, as it’s applying needed nuance and limits to the definition of civil disobedience.
