As someone in the side of protesters, I don’t think this is that important. Even recognizing a distinction between the two, and trying to distance yourself from the second, is a losing move (respectability politics. Shows you believe in some weird sanctity of business ownership). Protesting is not an abstract thing, it’s fighting against oppression, and the oppressors are the capitalist owners. Loot away. Cause property damage, especially to bigger corporate entities. Just don’t hit the locals that support the protest.
