Was there a phone in everyone's hand back then? I spent 5 hours downtown giving water, food, and supplies to protestors, who were peaceful and supportive. You're letting an tiny minority of the protestors skew your perspective, exactly what the right wants

They donโt care, because to them itโs not a demonstration intended to win political support - itโs a Direct Action, intended to cosplay a revolution.
Your mistake is believing that the people in the left photo earnestly have a just an equal society as their goal in the same way the people in the right photo did.
Our activists have no class. Nor do our antagonists. We are an ugly country of charlatans and snake oil salesmen. Our comedians have become politicians and our politicians have become clowns. I hope anyone that is a shill of their own brand of political neurosis at least knows
While that is true, what really matters is the truth and they are truthfully showing us who they are and what they stand for. No amount of PR can fix that.
Burning cars and defiantly waving foreign flags seems more like an insurrectionist show of force over an infiltrated border.
You are doing a great job standing up for a fascist movement with your desperate need for attention. Posting opportunistic screenshots from a movement you don't know, or care anything about.

That image looks bad on the left. One on right looks amazing.
I think the motorcycle flag waving image looks cool though. It doesn't have graffiti or a visible car burning.
There is no โmovementโ.
Wide open borders isnโt a movement.
Thereโs no good messaging advocating no borders. Your premise is nonsensical.
But yeah, reason with them. Write a long Substack about it. Iโm sure theyโre all big readers and critical thinkers.
I broadly agree with your point, but one of the people in your picture got shot in the head
I agree with the sentiment Drew, but what youโre asking for isnโt possible. This isnโt a movement, itโs an angry reaction. What youโre seeing is social unrest caused by a poorly managed mass deportation effort. Thereโs no one that can organize the effort.
Thereโs also the
Maybe, they're just foreigners exploiting the offerings of a suicidal empathy?
That looks like a disaster and +10% approval rating for trump if he shut them down in el salvador.
Just like BLM, destroying shit and burning american flags will only make americans hate mexicans and want them kicked out.

the civil rights movement didn't start like this on day one. the picture on the right was the result of years of organizing
ICE is terrorizing communities. I'm not going to question the aesthetic choices of the people being terrorized. but you do you
What if making change isn't actually the highest or most urgent priority, but rather a "reach goal" to consider only after feeling more empowered and gaining in-group status? 

you can say whatever you want but itโs well known to never police how people protest, you have no idea what theyโve experienced so itโs best to let everyone process their lives according.

Going with what youโre trying to compare, the guy on the left might be a Malcom X approach, and not an MLK approach. Also, we know nothing of the actual guy on top of the car. He could just be a rioter and not any leader of whatever is happening. I donโt think itโs โendorsed.โ
Why do leftists have to turn every potentially positive demonstration into a grotesque destructive Anti-American vanity parade.
They refuse to understand optics.
Why is everyone assuming that rioters are part of a movement? These guys will join any movement so they can live out their anarchist fantasies.
If the conservative media sphere existed during the Civil Rights Movement, they'd be broadcasting Malcolm X and the violent types over Martin Luther King, Jr. all day, every day.
It is worth noting that MLK still was shot. He was accused of being a radical and communist to no end and was highly unpopular in polling. If you were around then you most likely would have not supported him.
Pray tell, what happened to the honorable Dr. Reverend Martin Luther King? Even he realized, โI fear Iโve integrated my people into a burning house.โ As he said.
Donโt think these guys are real protestors. Just rioters who deserve to go to jail.

You will keep running.
You will keep avoiding the mirror.
You will keep acting, dancing, and doing what they want,
..until you can no longer breathe,
and you fall into your grave.. embracing the man who was never you.

Synesthesia. Passing Clouds.
Probably he's not even Mexican.
Just another western tankie who hates capitalism & western civilization & wants to burn them to the ground cause he's too bored with the good life they provide. Has no idea how rough life can really be.
The thing is this isnโt a movement at all, itโs just a raction to whatโs happening
You think this guy or some of the other anarchists among them represent the movement?
It depends on the point of view, but there is always criticism depending on your political stance. Yesterday and today.
Yes! the US conquered California from Mexico but Mexico conquered it from the Apaches.
OK, but this is essentially spontaneous, whereas MLK spent years working up to and cultivating his movement.
They are not "political" protesters. Trump created a situation where various trouble makers are drawn out to the protest. In a large area like LA they are always around.

Honestly, the optics look so bad and with the guy covering his face, you cannot tell me this is not a psy op
Apparently it didnt even matter, MLK wasn't as popular until after his dearh
How about this presenting the movement, from yesterday

Earlier a Latina protester scolded a Hispanic SRG officer for cracking down and aiding into taking orders for ICE.
Calling him a โtraitorโ, that heโll never be โaccepted by his white peersโ. His family wonโt be excluded from ICE crackdown and theyโll quickly throw him too.
Ironically people defending abrasive tactics cite the part of Letter from Birmingham Jail where MLK complains about white moderates slowing down progress complaining about strategy. Yet MLK was still smart in how he went about things
Similar such instances happened during the Civil Rights movement, and were blasted all over by the right wing media. This does not change the reality that the protests have been peaceful, with very limited violent outbursts

The difference is actually not one being more violent than the other, but the fact that social media and photography technology exist today.
This is why they donโt care

Shower thoughts on the far left: The far left isnโt really interested in politics, theyโre interested in moral performance. Social purity, identity signaling, and aesthetic radicalism matter more than persuasion or power.

*psst* they shot the guy in the right in the head when he noticed peace didn't work anymore up north for less obscene racism and targeting actual wealth inequality
yes do NOT under any circumstances let the goyim know a jew is pulling the strings
There isnโt a movement and wonโt be. The internet and its โinfluencersโ have made sure that anyone who achieves notoriety fighting for anything will become personally wealthy and invested in the status quo.
MLK was an antiwhite Communist who hated America tooโฆbut he was kept on a tight leash by his Communist Party USA handler Stanley Levison, with funding and direction from Moscow.
I think the dude on the left looks pretty fucking cool. Iโll follow his lead.
A bunch of foreign military age men causing violence? Every day these people prove republicans right.
