With all that is happening around the country it would appear the BML movement and the wider "tear the country apart and rebuild it a different way" movement is much larger than we think.
I have three kids, youngest is 19, they are not caught up in this movement but one is sympathetic.
To me, it seems like what we see here is largely a group of people that either failed to thrive because of poor life choices and or younger people that have found it hard to transition from their parent's basements and XBox to the real world. I'm not trying to be flippant here.
Things are different now, it is truly more difficult to go out and make it in this world than it was when we were kids. However, there's more to it than that.
We had a sense of pride and hope growing up and always have.
There are two groups in this movement I feel. There are the good people that if they just had that hope and belief in God and Country that we grew up with they wouldn't be where they are today. And of course, there are others, those that relish a world where they can harm and cause violence. Sadly, I'd say that latter group is larger than we think. These two groups run the gambit of race and background, it's not truly a black vs white thing.
The first group, seeing no hope in their futures because media and school systems have skewed their thinking gravitate to this movement because it's about "Justice" and the "Greater Good". At least that's how they see it. So now, they don't have to have jobs, work hard, and tow the line. They are now part of something so much bigger and more important than that and find meaning in their lives now. They have a Cause, it gives them meaning, a reason for their existence that we have failed to give them as a country. I feel this is largely the cause of Democrats and their tactics.
I feel there is a better chance than we all think that we could lose the country to this mob. It's happened in history over and over again and we've all seen it coming for some time now. If Trump loses the election this is going to steamroll like never before, the government will become many times more tyrannical than it ever has been, telling us what to think, how to speak, and what to believe with failure to comply punishable by jail time or worse.
If Trump wins, expect rioting beyond anything we could have ever imagined. I don't see a good outcome in this, hope I'm wrong, but I think the people sympathetic to this movement are many, are the younger people, and if minds aren't changed, the future is theirs, but as we well know, it will be a horrible and violent future that they will regret, but sometimes a person has to go there to learn, such is history.
I think the end, the US Military is going to have to put down insurrection because the police will be unable to do so. I wouldn't want to be our President, but I will be voting for him again, but not just for me and my family but to prevent those people who are making terrible mistakes right now from making one so bad it cannot be undone.
God Bless President Trump
Corporate Marxism— the 4th branch of govt
Well, they are cultural marxists.
Regarding the latter, they're nothing more than a Marxist front group and - judging by where their $$ goes - a Democrat money-laundering operation.

You need a Shakubuku. Were you alive in the Days of Jimmy Carter when there was no hope at all?
...the DEMONRAT’S WET DREAM of national insurrection focused on mobilizing the BLACKS, and GETTING THEM BACK ON THE DEMONRAT PLANTATION.

Yep. Saw the 30% black support for Trump and created a movement to give the blacks their own party. If the progs can’t have them, no one can have them.
Not to discount the $$$ aspect of the fundraising.
Bet it backfires like any 3rd party movement, especially violent street movements.
It only takes 2% to make a revolution succeed. The bolsheviks proved that.
Depends on how many “free” 82” Flat Screen TV’s are still out there for the picking.
Um...isn’t it BLM, instead of BML? Or am I just missing the joke?
Hard to say.
Certainly the fringe lefties are all in lock-step with shouting “BLM” and trying to shame everyone into saying it. The far FAR left seem to be pushing narratives (”defund the police”) but this is their problem, what are realistic demands?
For this they don’t have an answer. Crazy demands will just lose elections and there’s no way we’re going to deconstruct America.
So when it comes to actual policy changes, I don’t think there’s much cohesion among the left. Many mindless liberals, which aren’t the far far left radicals, will virtue signal without thinking and capitulate to the mob. You see this with CEO’s - they’re engaging in corporate virtue signaling to avoid it hurting them, hoping it’ll actually boost their bottom line. I don’t think it will.
Besides that though - I think *everyone* else thinks it’s garbage. They see the over-the-top Democrat pandering to the black community and black people are noticing it too. It’s too much.
Which is kinda funny - as all this is happening to try and win back the black vote which has been leaving them. Black people are seeing they’re being used, only important during election cycles.
The country is polarized, few true ‘centrists’. Many that thought they were ‘center left’ have been pushed over to at least being ‘center right’, if not pushed way right because they also realize just how far left the left have gone. They’re crazy.
So I do think it’s all a bit of an illusion. That is the goal, make you feel small and alone and that the ‘real world’ all feels differently...but it is fake.
Too damn many. I am running out of places to buy food.
...also meant to say, while anecdotal...
In the UK, during COVID lockdown, everyone would go outside at 7pm (I think) and clap for their “great NHS” employees. Every night.
Once all this BLM crap started they tried to push the message of doing the exact same thing but shouting “black lives matter!”.
A guy posted a video, highly disappointed, he was the ONLY ONE outside at 7pm to shout it out. Everyone else stayed at home.
BML I am ok with, great bowling league BTW but not the BLM group : )
This is such an excellent interview with Bob Woodson. He is such an amazing voice of reason in the insanity.
