Considering the way some chapos were sitting on their ass during the george floyd riots, not doing shit while criticisng the protests for not being class conscious enough, and thinking about ways to, yes, literally appropriate the protests for their own pet cause, the likely lib stumbled ass backwards into the correct opinion.
On the other hand, actually having been there, supporting in solidarity, and continuing to criticize those protests as not being class conscious and predicting their failure still got me yelled at. You will find that for these libs, nothing is good enough except for shutting up and letting those that think they are the most affected by these things lead the movement. You never saw libs say the ACLU lawyers shouldn't be speaking or criticizing, and yet they often have less of a connection to the community than the white Bernie people who were there.
Those protests did one good thing, which was continue the tradition of mass movement organization. But until those mass movements are mass organized and class conscious, their real systemic effects will be minor. And we must continue to point that out. The issue is the best time to do so is only when asked.
Yeah gotta agree, last year I remember I saw chapo and adjacent people post awful shit about antifa, lots of spite towards anarchists and just a whole general ugly vibe that "blacks" as a group were getting too scary and violent. The last year or so has been painfully eating crow because libs did unfortunately align with the correct analysis that chapo and dirtbag leftists in general are largely a bunch of white podcasters from well off backgrounds with zero skin in the game
tbh a lot of white leftists who's praxis ends at posting absolutely fucking did see PoC fighting to be recognised as human as 'their army'. I think the take here is liberal ofc, that rage and pain inherently comes from a racialised class based society, but a lot of what they say as a critique of leftists during the height of the BLM actions is true
