      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.
