there is honor in that battle

Anthropomorphizing.

Homeostasis is a natural law of all ordered systems.

An emergent property, not a priori.

I mean, I don't think we actually disagree; everyone here thinks the rioters are acting far (far, far) below the standards of civilized behavior we set for our society as a whole (and moreover indicative of broader problems with societal subcultures that tenuously coexist within the larger whole where these "values"--and much worse--are the norm).

On with the purging already!
