Responding to multiple murders vs zero murders with "well both sides are bad!" is a very poetic summary of centrism.

All Lives Matter protesters re-enacted George Floyd's death as a Black Lives Matter march went by

Which brings the number of people killed by Trump supporters versus the number of people killed by Antifa to "a few dozen to zero". Which group is the terrorists again?
The terrorists are the ones using violence to effect politics. Doing something bad is not the equivalence of terrorism, as apparently has to be explained to NPCs again and again every time someone asks why a mass shooter isn't automatically labeled a terrorist. :roll:

Why leave out the re-enactment performed on the toddler? I thought that was a particularly striking one, didn't you?

If murders wre the only thing that can be done and shouldn't, you'd be right. Did you give up on honesty? You used to be better than this, but I think something broke you, man.

So BLM is this, right?

Why does the left think it's OK to stereotype some people, and not others?

For your information, I hate the right too. As for your question, the answer is both of them.
I eagerly await your condemnation of Trump's campaign as a terrorist organization.

Trump is a fucktard and his people are completely incompetent at everything they do. Biden just isn't any better. :roll:

again, I know there are problems with the police but considering there are some individuals in Black Lives Matter who want to kill cops and there is no means to kick them out of the movement, doesn't that mean the whole movement could potentially be radicalized?

You know, for someone who's all about individuals you seem to be denying the agency of a lot of people.

I mean seriously, practically anything get people swirling towards the drain of political extremism. For example, video games and The Last Jedi have been used by alt-right hooligans to draw people towards their ideological bubbles (to varying degrees of success).

Isn't this a great place for your inane "people are innately good or bad" doctrine? If the BLM protesters are innately good, then they can't be radicalized no matter what, because they're "good protesters". If the BLM protesters are innately bad, then they were always fated to murder people, because they're "bad protesters".

The only other possibility is that there's systems that can change people's behavior, and cause them to shift from non-violent/not-dangerous into violent murderers over time. But if your entire philosophy is that's impossible and those systems can't exist...

people can be naturally good but still be be made to be angry enough to ignore rational thought and their sense of compassion.

I do care that police get away with bad things but I hear about the bad things the other side does far more often.
