  • The fervent bravery on social media without the fear of repercussion dissipates in the face of the national guard turning up with shotguns and full body armour. Or maybe even just some mace in the eyes.

    I'm not sure I understand - the things you mentioned actually galvanized BLM and Anti-Fascist forces last summer by validating what they've been saying about state oppression being used as a tool to uphold white supremacy.

    Increased state power will not do anything to fix the issue of white supremacy in America and any systems put into place today by the Biden administration will likely be used by whatever Fascist piece of shit takes office next to crush movements like BLM and Anti-Fascism.

  • I wasn’t commenting on the need for more state power, I was talking more about the lack of backbone of the pro trump/white supremacy rioters.

    Doesn’t mean that the US doesn’t have deep rooted problems, just that it is fortunate that the really unhinged, extremely dangerous types with a clear pre-meditated target and goal didn’t attend to escalate it even further.
