Hmmmm 🤔 BLM vs ... The World

I think its weird that the older white men who have a problem with the black lives matter movement are usually the ones with deep rooted black fetishes. But I wont delve into that complexity this afternoon.

My issue with BLM is it was founded by Marxists. They admit it. Their goal is anarchy.

Now many followers of BLM are legitimately protesting racism. As long as they are peaceful, it's OK with me.

But the violent members are Marxists or Anarchists and I have a big problem with them. They are also using the legitimate protestors as cover for their hidden agenda.

This is why several black leaders tell people not to donate money to BLM.

This is the BLM official mission statement?
@HoraceGreenley do you have more issue with them than with the racists?

@Northwest In the the interviews I've seen with BLM founders, they have stated that they want to "burn the system down." I interpreted that as anarchy.

@IstillmissEP Agreed. Usually the BLM founders don't mention Marxism because they don't want people to know their real motives. Occasionally they will let it slip out that once they "burn down the system" they will implement Marxism.

@IstillmissEP Exactly. They are using this situation to recruit Useful Idiots.

Let me ask again, is this the BLM official mission statement?
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@Northwest I don't know. I am repeating what the founders have said.

I would imagine that the official mission statement is different since they are hiding their real intentions.

@IstillmissEP Probably. Of course some people may think that rioting, looting, murder, rape, arson and maiming are all part of a fun time

@HoraceGreenley “Burning Down The System” is metaphoric. Their is no way to accomplish the goal of equality and eradicating racism with the present system. An overhaul has to occur. This overhaul does not equal marxism. Capitalism can be rebuilt with people of color given the same opportunities you've been given.
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@chocolateclitchick96 Perhaps. But the BLM founders have stated that they are Marxists, trained in generating anarchy and wish to implement Marxism as a political system for the entire country.

It's their words...not mine

@HoraceGreenley never once seen this

@IstillmissEP I would not go so far as stating a behavior that complex is encoded in DNA. And humans don't have instinctual behaviors. So please don't conflate the situation.

My point is that the BLM founders hide their true intentions.

And again, peaceful protests are great. But as Ghandi and MLK have demonstrated, the use of violence results in the loss of moral authority.

Tge founders of ANTIFA and BLM want to use violence to create anarchy and they are recruiting people that don't understand their true intentions.

@chocolateclitchick96 Never seen what? The Marxists founders explaining their real intentions?
chocolateclitchick96 · 26-30, F
@HoraceGreenley No I havent. And im not sure it would matter to me. This is a large movement with a lot moving parts and opinions about how to be successful. These opinions dont always match. I see great room for improvement in unity in message and especially spokesmanship. But at the end of the day I have to stand behind A movement that fights for my future children. I wont bring a child into this world that dreads his skin and the weight it carries. And if we have to smooth a few bumps out along the way by all means let me provide my assistance.
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@chocolateclitchick96 But at what price? The violence doesn't help. Being used as a pawn by others with a different agenda won't get you what you want. It has to be done the right way.

What the useful idiots are doing, is politicize an issue that is not or should not be political.

This is a human rights issue, and people, despite their political differences, should be on the side of human rights. Marxists, and conservatives were fighting the Nazis, without the conservatives having to worry that they might become Marxists, if they fought for a common cause.

But useful idiots don't think that way, and instead, they regurgitate political propaganda and stuff that you would think should remain in the dustbin of the failed cold war.

@Northwest Agreed
