Exactly. Racism, anti-semetism, and they even tried to metoo him for not micromanaging each one of his 100million volunteers.

I think I know what you're talking about. I thought it happened a couple times, lol.

Yeah, I immediately knew that BLM was a dead-on-arrival movement after the seattle stage-storm incident - by which I mean in terms of effective long term change they wanted, not in terms of growth. Now they've gone from pushing one of their longest civil rights defenders off the stage to burning down Portland. Always fighting their biggest allies behind the front lines where they know it's safe.

The deplatforming story rings a bell, too. I guess DK read the tea leaves on that stuff. Most of the cynical media people saw this non-nuanced, ineffective socio-political movement get going and instead of analyzing it as so for the public, they just hopped on board the money train to "Hate, Inc." lol

It's even worse than you say.

For the first time in my LIFE, the public was seriously starting to discuss police reform. Qualified immunity, no-knock raids, body cams....all on the table.

Then Portland burned for 100+ days and continues to this day. Real police reform set back decades, while DC gets walled off.

100. I thought the same things as well.

Did you ever hear the leak about a BLM meeting with Hillary in '16? Supposedly she asked them what practical policies they wanted leaders to implement and they had NOTHING. They weren't even prepared for that basic f'ing question. Then (again, supposedly) she replied to them something like "I'm a politician. I get elected to make POLICY. If you don't bring me a POLICY then I can't run on it to get elected and then implement it." One of those few times Hilary actually seems likable in a wonky-grumpy way behind the scenes.

So when they (BLM/Antifa) started tearing down

Portland I knew that they were probably going to have nothing prepared when they were asked to come to the bargaining table. They just don't seem to learn. They have the chance to save lives and liberty if they just don't make perfect the enemy of the good but they're just too stupid to know it.

By now - to what you're saying - the public has caught on and turned against them, and police reform isn't as plausible anymore. I'd also add that an effective future Class revolution will also be undermined now that- in complete desparation -the public (including alleged "Left") has now allowed the security state to grow in power in response.

My point is I think the good ol' fashioned thumbscrew will be legally-sanctioned again by the time we get a poor vs. wealth Revolution going, thanks to BLM/Antifa.
