You are both government pawns
If you're rioting in an attempt to keep the current president in power, sure. But police are a government entity. How exactly does protesting against them and their lack of accountability/oversight make one a "government pawn?" Did your brain just fart that one out before you could think it through fully?

Do you really think that antifa is not a political movement?

You mean BLM? It's more a human rights organization than a political one. But sure, a number of the solutions they're looking to implement need to be run through the legislative process. Putting pressure on the government to do something they don't want to is vastly different from being "pro-government" in general.

It's an anti-fascism movement. We just want to stop being killed in the streets, it's not that hard to figure out, my guy...

Not only this movement is currently being used as profit by big corporations, it's also is used to benefit certain politicians

Corporations can pander to supporters of BLM all they want, that doesn't mean their profits will automatically soar as a result, and it doesn't mean they won't continue to be criticized for their role in funding the police departments which brutalize and murder US citizens.

As for why a civil rights movement would have a bunch of Bernie supporters in it, well that should be obvious. The man has been all about the struggle since he was in his twenties or thirties.

Our cause is totally justified because we're fighting against a myth supported by emotional arguments from a handful of cherry picked examples that do not represent the rest of reality in any rational way. Not like YOURS.

Yeah it's not like police are on record as killing more unarmed citizens every year than mass shooters. OH WAIT.

And dogs kill more people every year than police. Not that your point has any validity because of the ratio of shooters to police interactions anyway. Just another example of your devotion to delusional thinking. You are dangerous lunatics, willing conspiracy theorists and liars. Neither of you would acknowledge the truth if it was handed to you because your ideological drive will never allow it. You are no better than the Trump supporters you criticize.

If you think so, great, but there is no denying that there are many people using this movement for their own benefit
There will always be people who try to take advantage of any movement, but that doesn't make your original statement any less ridiculous. A large number of anarchists are on board with BLM, and you call them "government pawns." Lmao.

And a cop shoots a dog every 98 minutes. Where's John Wick when you need him?

Oh no, right in the feels! Well I'll be sure to change everything about the way I live my life ASAP in order to avoid disappointing you, a self-avowed white supremacist, any further. :rolleyes:

Just dodge the inconvenient truths and tell another lie, Xzi. Everyone that calls out your bullshit is a white supremacist, right? Whatever you need to say to make yourself feel better about being a liar and a fantasist.

... Here are some World Facts that work against the Black Lives Matter movement:
  • The majority Race of the planet are Asians.
  • The United States of America is the World's 3rd largest Population, after China and India and before Indonesia.
  • The United States and most Western countries embrace Monotheism with a binary view of life, Good or Evil, Black or White.
  • Most of Asia embrace Polytheism that has nuances of grey in life, i.e. nothing is purely Good nor Evil.
  • In Asia, people are categorised by their Ethnicity or Ancestral Origin - not Colour.
  • Naming people by their Colour is predominantly a Western bias, where White is the standard Good.
For these reasons, it's hard to fathom why the African-descent in the United States would want to call themselves Black, especially with the shallow argument of retaking power from oppressive words; there are more words in the English vocabulary that can be used to empower.

Similarly, Black Lives Matter is focused on Black Lives, which is not a candidate for a World movement and only plays to local consumption; even then, why should Native Americans, Asians or Latinos care about BLM when they're not of the same colour and aren't even included in the original Movement.

People argue that it's a Movement for all Minorities; that is asinine because if it were then it would be called Minority Lives Matter.
Some CNN Anchors also argue that if other Races want their own movements, they are welcome to it; that is exactly the point.

Black Lives Matter is the fruit of Tribalism in the country, not its solution.
So as much as I agree Minorities should have proportional representation and be treated equally, BLM is not the way to achieve this.

Well at least now you're on the right track, there are far more anti-government agitators who throw their lot in with BLM protestors than pro-government ones.

Personally I only attended two BLM protests, both of which were entirely peaceful.

Nah, just the people who've already gone mask off on this site previously, such as yourself. Did you think I'd forget that?

Too scared to participate in a more agitated riot?
