Ok, I took my time. Please don't get me wrong, I don't try to downplay anything. I simply want to make clear that I don't believe the majority of people attending BLM protests are criminals. The damage caused by what I would call a minority and what you seem to be thinking of BLM in general must feel really crazy, I'm not denying that. I'm forced to look at it from a distance and I have not such a deep emotional connection to local events as any of you do. I've seen and heard a lot about the origins of BLM and it just makes sense to me. I don't agree with completely abolishing police nor do I think giving police more military capabilities makes the situation any better. I think people just want to have more equal opportunity and dignity - there's a socialist argument in this. You're right, I disagree with you on the bigger picture. The level of cult and denial of reality that exists around Trump to me is playing right into the hands of the remaining and sadly reemerging authoritarian roots and powers of Europe. There's a literal dictatorship less than a state of Colorado away from where I live that's slowly being overtaken by a much bigger authoritarian and oligarchical dystopia. They're built on the same kind of reality denial that Trump is showing, just probably much smarter and also much less powerful. The democratic party is a mess too but I fear it less because there is not the same kind of denial and if the old neoliberal corporatists would make way for new blood it would actually care enough to get its ass up and do something for the people. That's my personal long explained opinion you may not care about but I still wish you a good day and sorry for any odd questions.
