One of my friends is very proud to have been arrested during a BLM riot. Flash bangs, tear gas, all that. Now he brings it up as some sort of arguing point: "YEA WELL WHERE WERE YOU?"
So they all got arrested and had to stay outside all night while being held. Today im talking to him and he claims they changed alot. He brought up "all those convictions" but only one cop was convicted last year while over 200 were killed. Then he mentioned Aubery who was murdered in Alabama, but they were private citizens not cops, and there was literally video of the murder. Naturally he didn't seem to take that fact well.
Defunding didnt happen much either. Is this just a liberal brain trying to convince themselves theyve done something useful? Because nothing really changed after they dragged Bernie away either.
if it helps, they also think only red fascism has existed and theres never been a successful communist country.
if it's going to get brought up in a totally unrelated but still political conversation, and it's literally the only thing this person has done, then it's fuckin lame.

youre not wrong
Gotta own your shit. If you could have gone and you didn’t that was some lib shit. Own it and promise to be there next time. The fact that you get this defensive about it is probably the reason he still throws it in your face.
nah i was there, just smart enough to not get arrested or tear gassed. am i just going to walk around for hours til police arrest me? the performative part was over. they had already launched tear gas at children. also next time i go back i bring eye protection.
Ah gotcha my bad. Had either of you talked about the possibility of getting arrested prior? There’s a reason we talk about red yellow and green
I think you should put that in post, I’ve read it much less charitably lol :meow-hug:
And any flare up is contradiction, it radicalized people, it’s just unseen from news, as a lot of comrades mentioned
