> I see someone isn’t a fan of Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights movement.
Organizations change.
In the same way that just because the democratic party has a horribly racist history doesn’t make the current party horribly racist.
> By the by, a lot of the “left wing” violence recently was caused by right wing militia “boogaloo” people.
The “boogaloo” are a conspiracy theory.
Which is more believable:
1) A far-left wing group that has been around for decades and part of many violent protests across Europe and has branches in the US is involved in another set of left wing violent protests.
Or
2) A right wing group that nobody has heard of and doesn’t seem to be associated with any of the exisiting far-right movements has deeply infiltrated left wing protests and is causing trouble.
Since I’m partial to conspiracy theories (2) might be possible if it’s actually the feds.
- freen 6y agoI was referring to the language used in the press during the civil rights era, which referred to the protests led by MLK as “riots” as well. I posted a link to a reputable news source. The right wing militias are well known, and the “boogaloo” has been well documented. You have presented no evidence whatsoever. Who is the far left wing group you speak of? These folks? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-fascism https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-fascism I’m on their side, 100%. You?

The right wing militias are well known, and the “boogaloo” has been well documented. Can you show me a reputable news source with an exposé on them before 2019? I can for example with other far right groups like the proud boys. > I’m on their side, 100%. You? I’m not on Antifas side - I don’t condone political violence.

- notahacker 6y agoI guess the far right activists on trial for the murders of both the law enforcement and security personnel killed during the protests can try the 'actually we don't exist: it was the left or the Feds' defence but I'm not sure it'll work out for them...
