the person i replied to made a broad "destroying property is not violence" claim, the scope of the conversation is more than just that
also, i consider a security camera in a place i live to be security infrastructure, you should not be able to come into a place and do act like a vigilante imposing your view on what should and should not be recorded through force, if you have a problem with the way things work you should try to work within the law
again, this is what separates civilization from chaos
It is clear that they were in no way making that claim in the context that you put it in, that's on you, not on them.
are you sure? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47129267 they seem to disagree
