Okay but like don’t count the BLM movement as a 2020 disaster. The US prison system, cops, and white supremacy are the disasters. If one of the things you count in your ‘Why 2020 sucked’ posts is the riots, you’re victim blaming.
To paraphrase Micky Dolenz, media outlets are calling the BLM movement “Riots” because they don’t know how to spell “demonstration.”
The BLM movement is NOT RIOTS. These are civil rights protests.
I’ve seen several media outlets count the BLM movement as something that was “wrong” with 2020. Honestly the ability to organize and protest is one of the only things that’s gone RIGHT. It’s the counter protesters that are fucked up.
About 93% of racial justice protests in the US have been peaceful, a new report finds
13 Police Officers Lounged, Napped in US Rep. Rush’s Office as Looting Swept South Side
Nearly 1,000 instances of police brutality recorded in US anti-racism protests
They’re called protests when they accomplish nothing and riots when they’re effective.
Stop fucking shying away from the word “riot”, this summer saw a police precinct burned to the fucking ground – it was a riot, and rioting works, and rioting is good.
Rioters could be looting department stores for a hundred years and still they would not have taken back what has been stolen from us by the ruling class, stop moralising revolt.
