Center-left pacifism is so insidious. The idea of people exercising power in a way that isn't institutionally sanctioned breaks their brains, so they construct a narrative that takes all agency away from the groups they claim to be supporting. It's a vile sort of moral masochism, in which having violence done to you is noble and good, and therefore resisting it is bad.

They're Russiagating the protests. It's the exact same impulse -- "Don't worry, people aren't actually going to extreme lengths to demand change, they're just being manipulated by bad actors."

60% of america is white still so i dunno how you get anywhere calling white protesters out as bad actors. like if police violence was a black issue sure get upset at interlopers but its sort of an american issue from my perspective. not sure if slaves were like posting about how selfish abolitionists were but im sure historians can tell us.

Might as well say that Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner were just privileged Jewish kids from out of town doing protest cosplay.

The argument that there were anti-BLM undercover provocateurs among the protestors doesn't seem like made-up bullshit. Anecdotally it's been a thing in NYC for awhile. https://twitter.com/freeyourmindkid/status/1266598693647638528 (Long thread including pics) https://twitter.com/gypsyeyedbeauty/status/1266164431584714753 https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/george-floyd-death-protests-white-arm-bands-new-york-police-a9540036.html https://twitter.com/whstancil/status/1266751535566016515 (thread and replies) The argument is not that POC are too saintly to riot or that there were no POC involved, the argument is that cops and white supremacists are trying to make protesters and POC look bad. Which should not come as a shock.

they have a cop on camera lighting fires: silence outside people show up in solidarity and multiply the chaos to further strain the police: "this is worse than the cop that did murder (sorry, alleged cop murder. innocent til proven guilty, vote biden)"

Obviously they exist, but focusing on the "agents provocateur" narrative is a concession to frame the discussion on their terms. It's not only not joining with the whole tone of "well of course we all condemn violence of any kind", but it also distracts from the fact that police meeting protesters with batons and barricades (and allowing police-community relations to break down for years and years) is going to escalate things 1000x more than any number of undercovers throwing rocks, and that this is a case of resisting force with force, not of "unprovoked violence".

I'm from the Poughkeepsie area so I can get to the city by train, have multiple family members in the city so I can almost definitely find a couch to crash on, and don't have a job because lol plague. Worth it to head down and pitch in with the protests?

Absurd Alhazred posted:https://twitter.com/NYGovCuomo/status/1267498311273140224 "What about the good cops" is bad, but don't forget that "there are plenty of peaceful protesters" is also doing a ton of work to delegitimize the anger being expressed. Constructing a narrative in which the only acceptable form of grievance is one that can safely be ignored is an incredibly potent weapon.

Edit to say that it seems like he's saying he was misunderstood and was talking about how he's only insisting on speaking because of the primary? And also for something different: Upstate Republicans: https://twitter.com/RobertGavinTU/status/1268272532572045312 Thankfully she doesn't seem like she has a chance against Tonko.

Anyone know what the deal is with Adem Bunkeddeko? I've never heard of him until I suddenly started seeing campaign ads a couple of weeks ago. His website certainly sounds good but I know nothing about the guy.

Thanks mailman for being way late today and making me drive to find the last open post office to postmark my families' absentee ballots. I requested ballots fairly early too, I swear they send mail on a ride around the state before delivering it.
