None of those comparisons make any sense. No one thinks like that even in a hyperbolic sense.

The final one really takes the cake, simultaneously repeating the right wing propaganda that Black Lives Matter protests were are all riots when less than 5% had any violence, and also implying countries that don’t allow protests about equality are a better place, and specifically a country known to abuse minorities.

What world does what I described mean daily riots?. I can tell you. It’s a world where facts do not matter, only confirmation bias and propaganda matters. It’s a world populated by an authoritarian’s ideally groomed enablers. No wonder your post used so much vehement language, living in such a bubble.
