Property represents time spent working to earn the money to pay for it. Time is a limited non renewable resource for all of us. Therefore, destruction of property can be considered theft of the amount of time a person had to work in order to afford said property.
I had thousands of dollars of stuff stolen from me during my 20 years in the Navy. Clothing, mostly, but other things. I HATE thieves with a burning passion. I don't give a flying fuck what justification he tells himself, the stuff isn't his, and he has no right to destroy it.
Destroying something a man worked 20 years to build up is little different than retroactively putting him in prison for 20 years. You might not even serve 20 years for murder, if he does the crime I say let him have it as time already served.
I'm sure you could easily flip the argument and turn him into a hypocrite, whether about his own property, the Jan 6th protests, or some stupid leftist cause.
I think you could pull up an interesting discussion with him over property rights (without risking your security).
For instance, one could consider their own body as their primary property. Or they could take ownership of their destiny and choices. There's a bunch of angles, and you might learn some surprising things about this person.
If you're clever about this, you might trick him into seeing another point of view.
Property isn't worth a human life. That's why people shouldn't trade their lives in attempts to steal or destroy property.
If people understand that attacks on property will be met with deadly force, then people won't attack property. At that point, no lives are lost and property is protected.
Property costs time. Time is life. Destroy property = destroy life.
This guy gets it.

the turds in my cat's litterbox are worth more than every pedophile on earth put together.
That's literally the reason behind most wars throughout history.
