@average_random_joe I'm not going to look up random out of context quotes and try to argue for you. You present the context of the words if you even know it, but I assume it's a habit for you just pluck out whatever confirms you views and ignore everything else from any context.

Just from the name alone I can assume that he was likely talking about a certain minority group that is also marginalized. While your entire argument hinges on the governed, as in everyone governed, not minority that due to their numbers and various stigma has trouble being heard. And he's also very likely didn't advocate for the riots being right and necessary, he was probably proposing ways to avoid riots in whatever he was talking about, by giving a boost of "voice" to the minority. While you are here going "people are rioting, very good, the only problem I'm seeing is that they aren't rioting hard enough, should have just got some AKs, broke into the parlament during some hearings and gunned down everyone they saw", and then quoting him as being on your side, while the poor guy has probably has daily arguments with halfwits who can't spend a second of think before saying something like the the specific minority being subhuman because of rioting, and speaks in that context, trying to justify the humanity of the groups he represents, even through their mistakes.
