They have no power and relatively no wealth.If you believe that you're naive. They have accumulated wealth and power. There are larger agendas at play, always are. You have to pay to play as they say. If they didn't, that money gets hunted down and the IRS is publicly mobilized against them. It's the way it works.
Nope -Objectives:
Truckers….leave us alone
BLM…..we are going to change EVERYTHING, defund the police, and punish the White Man for every wrong ever commited throughout history
BLM isn't even an "organization", it's a concept, it's a movement. The original organization is completely irrelevant.
If by “successful” you mean that murder rates in most major cities are historically high and that more minorities are being killed every week than the police could have ever even imagined, then I guess you are correct. With much more “success” like that, there won’t be anyone needing police anymore, just undertakers and cemetery attendants. So I guess they got their goalNope -
BLM - heightened focused on police brutality of people of color and corrective actions taken.
It was by and large successful.
Perfect example.Buckhead protest damaged tabbed at $10 million to $15 million
Peaceful in Atlanta comes at a price of 10-15 Million. Peaceful now has a value.
I drove for Schneider in the mid to late 90s. There were always talks of a general strike and how all truckers should unite, blah blah blah. Then, out of the other side of their mouths, many of the most vocal advocates for a United strike would call me and my co workers “steering wheel holder”, “scabs”, etc. Why would I, in that context, give a rats ass about their cause when they couldn’t even view me as a peer?

The organization at this point is irrelevant.Yet even when I gave you the out of saying the hashtag or the phrase, you still insisted on saying “organization”.
I can accept the phrase and hashtag are no longer controlled by the creator of those, but to claim the people in charge of the organization no longer control the organization is absurd
BLM has great power, enough so that politicians look past the obvious and ignored the single biggest summer of internal destruction in American history so as not to offend.They have no power and relatively no wealth.
