I mean, don't not fixing what ain't broke is certainly a matter of integrity. Fixing something to the latest hippest new fad just to "attract young hackers" detracts from integrity. Making the editor an awesome badass attractive editor should be enough. Otherwise you'll only be attracting groupthink-prone douchebags, anyway.

I particularly appreciated your classification of McDonald's as a startup.

Again, way to totally miss the point. Whether or not the smashing is justified is a much larger discussion, though largely irrelevant to establishing your repeated evasiveness. So let's say for this point's sake that it absolutely isn't justified, under any circumstances. Does my point not still stand?

Your suggestion to the window smashers was to "get the city to write them a fucking parking ticket". I asked you why you think they would be engaging in the tactics that they are engaging in if that were any sort of viable channel through which to have their grievances addressed. As far as I can tell, you've done nothing to address my question, and your suggestion to the protesters remains invalid and meaningless. I think you should retract your condemnation of them, since so far you've been unable to propose a realistic alternative.

not elitist to want to go to work.

To the employed elite, I can see why it would seem that way. Of course elite isn't a precisely appropriate term, but relatively speaking, it is an elitist stance.

not elitist to want people to be civil.

Actually, yes, it is, and quite so. Try being "civil" when you're homeless or struggling to fill your stomach. Seriously, just try it.
