If you can't see how that response is absurd, I can't help you. If you want to remain a puppet for the oligarchs and call yourself rebels, go ahead. But calling yourself a rebel doesn't mean you win.

The only goal should be to inflict maximum damage on your opponents. You are not doing that. You're helping them.

I mean you're not accomplishing anything either. Electing moderate Democrats to get done only what you can do without being called a communist is why the working class are so disenchanted that they voted for a psycho like Trump. You're just a house negro hoping you'll get what you want if you play by the rules.

Bruh, you're literally like "Stop protesting so riots don't get blamed on you!" and "Vote Biden so Trump doesn't win!" and think I'm being a puppet for the oligarchs?

Edit: That's also missing the point that what ever happens is going to be blamed on the left anyways.

Idk who the enlightened left is, but if it's not too much trouble to ask them to go home then I think it's probably better to ask the morons to head out first.

As for strategy, it doesn't get coverage since it's hard to fit into a headline or soundbyte and scary riots get more clicks than discussions on how to reallocate budgets and address poverty. The similarity between the media's misleading portrayals of the 60s civil rights movement and BLM are striking.

Big3 would no doubt have told MLK to wait for a more politically opportune time. All these black people in the streets are just bad optics.

He was the most hated man in america during his lifetime. Centrists said we should only hate him a little bit.

Doubtful. Dogs and water hoses for marching, or sitting at a lunch counter aren't the same thing. But I don't recall riots until Watts.

So now that you've had your cheap shot, at least do me the favor of answering the question: Don't you think these absurdities of looting a Target are helping Trump?

My favourite is directly quoting MLK to them without mentioning it only for them to angrily reject everything about it.

Dogs and water hoses became military gear.

I think that you're helping Trump by focusing on an hour of looting on one block over hundreds of hours of peaceful protest across the nation.
