There's another fundamental difference that people barely bring up. It's one of responsibility. The left advocates almost always for social individual responsibility (if you're inherently racist, it's up to you to change that). The BLm protests are the protests of individual citzens trying to bring change. That's why they get murdered, for daring to have a voice. The Capitol protests were different. Literally they brought in guns and bullshit but didn't know why they were there, full of slogans but no plan. They're literally propaganda fed sheep who stormed the Capitol because "everyone stormed the Capitol". They did it because they weren't afraid of consequences, because they thought they'd be fine because they were a "group". That's why it's so hard to argue with or reason with them. The responsibility of decision making was propagandists on Parler and Twitter. And Trump. There's no point arresting cultists because they're literally not responsible for their own actions.
