   And they double down on it. So, had to block someone I'd generally come to like.

   Smh. Don't suggest that Black and Brown kids start shooting shit at the police because your white ass did it with no consequence.

   Jesus.

     (a) Holy shit, they said what now?!

     (b) Seems like a ground level requirement for organized protest is a basic understanding of power dynamics, not limited to but most definitely including the power dynamics of racism. But I don’t know how to communicate that to a person who assumes by default they’re pre-qualified for any job on earth….

     Yeah, there’s something weird and dangerous in the water. I don’t know what to make of it either. It’s not just dedication / passion for justice / cry of the unheard / etc. And it’s not debate of tactics, violence vs nonviolence. It’s something else, something nihilistic.

     @inthehands yeah two days straight from 2 different people I thought I had a pretty good handle on. Different things were said but both equally out of character.
