I really think all these Far Left types think they can't run out of other people's money

I wouldn't necessarily say that BLM is associated with rioting and violence, at least not as far as I know. Certain the present rioting doesn't seem to be there doing, even media sources that are hostile to the riots aren't pinning the blame on them.
What I will say is that more so than an image problem, BLM has a message problem. I rarely see clear policy proposals or suggestions made to address the issues they formed to address, it's either extremely vague "make the cops do better" type stuff, or ridiculously overbroad, sweeping reforms calling for everything from new school curriculums to reparations.
There is reason that groups like the NRA does so well. They have a single issue and national control to raise and use the money to accomplish their goals. If BLM wants to go beyond the angry group of rioters and make real changes they have to start copying other more successful groups.
Not that any of that matters to people who would donate to BLM; they think their money is going to be used to save the lives of oppressed black people, and nothing so flimsy as facts will dissuade them from that notion.Nah, that money is already funding the DNC.

I'm noticing more and more people on Youtube mindlessly repeating "all lives can't matter until Black Lives Matter" and directing their audience to donate to the organization; not that I expect some random video game reviewer on Youtube (like SomecallmeJohnny, for example) to know anything beyond what the MSM tells them, but this is the reach and influence this organization has. They're so inundated with propaganda telling them that BLM are the good guys, they have no idea what it truly stands for in practice.
“Control the Media, Control the Mind.”
Who knew a quote from a damn video game (Command and Conquer) would have so much relevance decades later?
I mean...it’s clear if you read their literature and that of their fellow travelers improving race relations is not the goal at all.
Honestly it appears that, for most of the regressive left, their goal is merely to feel morally justified in hurting people.I mean...it’s clear if you read their literature and that of their fellow travelers improving race relations is not the goal at all.

For many of them, that is exactly what this is about. Angry people who want to lash out, and simultaneously feel like they are 'good people' because of how much better they are than the people they're brutalizing.
You know, I think the majority of all this hatred isn’t REAL
The majority of them have NEVER actually experienced ANY discrimination
This “hatred” is just the good majority of them having Chuunibyou Syndrome, they don’t care about actually making the world a better place, they just want something to “fight” and they probably think reality’s as simplified as those Hollywood movies which depict anyone against the Far Left as being a bunch of EVIL Nazi’s or a bunch of horrible “right wing stereotypes”
THAT is the biggest problem, people are too immersed in this “role playing” to stop, they don’t want to stop and whenever something pops up that severely goes against the narrative....it hurts
So you are saying that we need to drag them out of the cave screaming and kicking and force them to see the real world? Or for Plato and his scions bring them into the dim reflection of the real world we dwell in, drag them closer to the eternal forms. I guess Platonic analogies work as well as Chuuni comparisions. Since they do dwell in the cave of pure opinion, furthest from the truth and far from knowledge...
Well, maybe not through force, I'd rather they come to it of their own decision
This honestly sums it up best for me. They want to feel important, like their lives mean something, so they have to have causes even if the causes are disingenuous and ultimately counter-productive. The cause is not really to achieve the goal, the goal is to have a cause. Having a cause and acting on it manufactures meaning and self-importance, the more hopeless the cause the better, so long as there is enough of a following to construct an echo-chamber and provide funding. This is probably also partly why the "finish-line" is never stationary, as that would mean success of the cause which would then revoke their self-worth.This “hatred” is just the good majority of them having Chuunibyou Syndrome,

The funny thing is, this all reminds me of Jordan Peterson, where he's talking about how young people are starved for meaning and self-worth. It's... kind of a sad comparison. Like, you can become a fanatic, or you can take charge of your life.
Fake problems are unsolvable as their evidence is fabricated.I think the bigger problem is they won’t fight ACTUAL problems
