I hope I’m wrong, but sometimes I think that the professional s***-stirrers choose causes like Traytable and the Gentle Giant is *because* they’re thugs; i.e., they are trying to send a message to the ordinary citizens “Don’t you dare resist us. If you do, we will make you wish you had taken your beating.”
Probably, but by choosing thugs as their “hills to die on” they’re losing any sympathy among non-blacks, and even middle-class blacks who are terrified of the thugs.
