Half your posts on reddit are white bread bull shit toeing a line. Do you even remember how to be aggressive? Can you even get tired of shit, or call out something because you don't like it?

I view it as mostly vocal people who have more perceived power than they actually hold, due to the overprevalence of social media making them look bigger than they are. The real threats come from elected officials making actual decisions to appease one side or another then rapidly backing off as reality slaps them hard in the face (like Durkan playing off the CHAZ until protesters showed up at her house behind a city council member).
If you're wasting time getting into the weeds with nobodies who are mostly on social media trying to look important, you are ignoring the people with actual power to affect you and your family's life. Let these lunatics look more insane every day, and learn to shine a light on it when people ask "Why the hell is half of Minneapolis on fire? I thought that was supposed to be peaceful protesting?"
Don't stop your enemy from making a mistake that will cost them in the bigger picture. Know your goal, know your target, and know how you plan to get there. Don't just lash out in response to something someone else did, all that does is tire you out and keep you fighting with people who can't actually do anything beyond wear you down over time.
If you think these people don't have power you're the only one not paying attention. They control every corporation, every educational institution, nearly every media outlet.
They're allowed to burn down towns, tear down statues, write articles about the destruction of mount Rushmore, build autonomous tent cities, assault police stations, stop traffic and attack anyone they think is racist.
And they all hate you. But let's talk about principles and empathy and other fake shit while they burn everything around us
Then you better start worrying about the folks running TD being far leftists, too. Oh, wait. They do not control everything, and most of the corporate virtue signalling you see now is just that, virtue signalling, much like avatars changed to rainbow flags for a month til they all magically returned to normal yesterday.
In hard Dem cities, not anywhere else. And you may have missed the whole series of arrests that have started of people behind the attacks on the statues, or the asshole who shot into that car getting caught and charged. They aren't being allowed to do shit.
And don't talk to me about racism, I'm mixed, I've seen plenty of it from all sides. I understand the difference between real racism and what the narrative-built-racism bullshit is. Farrakhan and the rest are just as racist as folks like Spencer. Neither of them existing can be taken as some rationalization that most white people, or most black people are legitimately racist. You've got racist white lefties trying to spin up a pretend world where they are the great saviors by reestablishing segregation, and treating the "lesser races who can't stand up for themselves" as shiny, colorful pets, not as actual human beings.
But I also recognize that most of these clowns don't have real power, the ones you have to focus on are the elected/appointed officials who can implement/enforce law. Stop wasting time and effort on the cannon fodder, focus on the people actually doing things that will last more than an hour, a day.
