Because one side wants a white ehtno-state, and hand waves over the genocide that always happens when they remove an ethnic minority population, and one side wants to stop getting shot by police. It’s not quite the same.
- gunfighthacksaw 5y agoYou took the most extreme position of the right and contrasted it with the tamest position of the left… did you mean it as a gotcha? Let’s reverse it: “One side is made up of constitutional Patriots who dislike the scale of the federal government, the other side is made up of Marxists who hand wave away the inevitable famine and ruin that results from their ideology.” I could accept a comparison between BLM and the Boogaloos because they are the least radical of their respective camps and have grievances with the police and state. But you’re comparing BLM with the pitiful number of self declared neo Nazis in the same way that the right tars BLM with the pitiful number of tankies who latch on to social justice in order to further their revolution.

- ashwagary 5y agoMy understanding is Tarrio identified himself as white in most legal documents before joining the Proud Boys. I suspect he claims to be 'black' now because it gives that racist organization cover.
