Which, and how so?


BLM, a peaceful organization trying to earn attention to civil rights groups; anarchists who want to overthrow the government; and white nationalists, who want to enforce policies of racial supremacy against other citizens.

Which do you think is different?


"anarchists who want to overthrow the government" is a group that has never been shown to exist, while the other two are regularly seen marching around. So, that's different.


BLM is peaceful?

Techies on here that are on the extreme fringes of an ideological vanguard might convince themselves of that. The silent majority that still believe their own eyes noticed the mass looting and violence and aren't on board with abolishing the police, schools or other institutions.

Some of us even remember BLM supporter / mass shooter Micah Xavier Johnson, or notice a lot of intertwining with black supremacy movements like the Black Hebrew Israelites (such as the couple that shot up the New Jersey deli last year). Or noticed a BLM cofounder met with Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro. More importantly, some of us aren't going to go along with inflicting critical race theory on our children.

So in a way they all seem pretty similar to me; they're all based on a lie, and they all use a motte and bailey strategy to advance dangerous ideology in a shroud of modest-sounding objections to the status quo. The only difference is that white nationalists are rightly denounced and unsuccessful; for some weird reason the others get a pass.
