I’m not saying what’s happening now is right or even the same. I’m just saying.

loyalist property is different than innocent civilian property

The ships were built in the US and owned by Americans just making a living. The immediate losses were felt solely by Americans. If you count a loyalist as a traitor who forfeits his property, in a time when there was no revolution, no Declaration of Independence, no United States, then I guess so, sure, but that’s silly of you.

It was protest, against an aggressor. It didn’t harm the aggressor in any way except in the display of a lack of control, but the statement was made nonetheless.

Again, I'm not saying violence and destruction of property is right, and I'm not saying that these riots are exactly the same as the Boston Tea Party. Just saying that there is a history of protest in this country that we are proud of, and a very significant part of that protest history involves violence and destruction of property.

So when Americans engage in violence and destruction of property as a form of protest, it's not exactly fair to call them anti-American.

The ones engaging in violence and destruction of property as a way to create anarchy (see: antifa), on the other hand, are by definition anti-American. The ones piggy-backing on the unrest for personal gain alone (see: looters) are just shameless opportunists, which is probably the most American thing in the world (I kid, I kid).
