No. Some things can be justified. Most things BLM does can't be. Let me know though if BLM ever, ever does anything productive.

Reminder this was radical meme's idea of how to change the obviously broken system

radical meme posted:

All three really need to happen but, any two of the three are absolutely necessary for any real change. The impetus for change has to come from outside because police and prosecutors are going to resist change. So you have to have social and community groups lobby for these changes. Improved training in non-lethal force is just an obvious winning proposal. It would improve the quality and preparedness of all peace officers and would be the toughest proposal for them to lobby against. We just have to start with lobbying receptive legislators and go from there.

Why do people find it so hard to accept and discuss criticism of BLM? They are just not a productive movement; yet. They have unrealized potential.

BLM forced the Sanders campaign to be more visible in regards to policies that could affect minority communities (policing, Justice reforms, etc). So there's that much at least. They're also doing a great job of luring out the All Lives Matter dipshits.

Hell, if you're talking ineffective, limp-dicked groups, doesn't the FreeState Project rank up there? Or the literal Bioshock floating island plan?

While it's not FSP's doing specifically, libertarianism generally in NH has done a great job at loving up public school funding for much of the state, so that's probably something they'd view as an accomplishment come to think of it.

As for seasteading dipshittery, you'll need to be a bit more specific as to which particular group you're talking about.

Virginia's licenses are compliant. At least, mine (from 2010) appears to have everything they're supposed to have. I guess they just asked for an extension so they could replace the old licenses gradually as they expired rather than doing some bigger rollout.
