This is a bit of a dumb question but while I hear the phrase "Eat the rich" getting tossed around a lot, is there anyone here that is actually 100% serious in the idea of "Given the opportunity, I will literally grill and devour Elon Musk's calf"
Using a throwaway because I don't want to be the guy associated with starting the cannibalism struggle session
Yes, but originally BLM had a series of important demands that would improve the lives of black folks in the US. Once the Democrat leadership was 'supporting' them it was by doing shit like kneeling while wearing traditional African clothes, rather than arguing for better police oversight or more resources for African-American communities. Essentially, 'BLM - the grassroots movement' and 'BLM - the DC edition' have very little in common apart from the name, and because of that, the DC version is drowning out the actual complaints and demands made by black people. For obvious reasons, it's not possible for centrist democrats to do the same with ACAB.
This is what I mean by terms being co-opted or not.
