Do you agree that it was selfish of BLM to hold mass gatherings (protests) during the COVID pandemic (which killed 25+ million people)?

Yes, it was selfish

No, it wasn't selfish (why?)

[Aerissa_Jade]

Yeah, but no more than the anti-vaxxers and anti-mask people who did the same thing.

There has been lots of selfish people doing it, religious people, government officials, but it was all stupid.

Like closing down churches, going against freedom of religion but leaving other types of mass gatherings options still.

The whole thing was just a mess and clearly showed how different cities, states and politics played into it. Democrats are more likely to close down churches and not care about freedom of religion while Republicans were more likely to leave them open.

Yet Democrats were fine with other kinds of mass gatherings, like gay clubs staying open... and other sources of revenue that they didn't want to lose.

The one thing most of us learned though, is if any other thing like this ever happens again, good freaking luck getting anyone to believe it is serious, the government at all levels screwed up and lost a lot of trust.

I will have to laugh though, I'm super surprised Democrats haven't passed a law requiring all those people who worked remote for covid to do so forever to cut down on pollution. Like the easiest freaking low hanging fruit there is to cut down on pollution, its like they don't care about that.

I’ll tell you why they won’t do that: it’s because then the united auto workers union would start suffering losses of employees and thus union dues. And the only group the Democrat party fears more than teachers unions are auto unions.

About as selfish as anti masters and anti lockdown folks holding big protests during a pandemic. But I don't frankly care anymore, catch covid and make out with each other. Spread it all you want.

BLM is a George Soros funded terrorist organization that no one would shoot down because they used stupid uneducated black people as a shield (ironically one of the most racist things you could do against black people). It's the equivalent of having an army with small children, puppies, and kittens as your frontline soldiers.

So it's always been a sh*tty hate movement, and how long it took you to realize that depends on your level of intelligence. If you're smart (like me), you knew from the beginning that you don't need a terrorist organization to say something like "don't hurt black people, police officers." If you're an idiot though... It probably took you a few years to see through BLM's BS. And if you're a borderline 'tard, you probably still follow and support BLM today.

You have to understand, the Wuhan flu was not as dangerous as it was made out to be. The real danger were government power grabs and corporate cash grabs. I’ll be the first person to support someone’s right to peaceably assemble, but when you burn loot and murder your way across the country and nothing is done about it except by private individuals, who are then prosecuted for protecting their families or property, it’s a bit much. It’s almost like the governments and oligarchs of the world had some thing to gain by showing their citizens what would happen to them if they resist the coming New World order.

See, no. BLM protests were just and needed. Now if you protested peacefully without destroying or burning property to have your small buisiness opened that you started with your life's savings so that you could make a good living and provide for your family - then you're a selfish grandma killer.

[JamesDiaz11]

To be fair, I don't think Covid killed 25 million people; that's a huge overestimation of a mild cold.

But in terms of BLM, they're garbage who should have been mowed down by concentrated, belt-fed machine guns.

[Astarlessnightsky]

You have the right to protest, and with the nesessary distance and precaution the risk for infecting yourself/others can be minimized.

[Agagagagaga]

You also have the right to go to a religious gathering but we saw how quickly they just HAD to put a stop to that.

[Astarlessnightsky]

The difference between those is, one is under the clear blue sky, while religious gatherings are mainly indoors.

As fucking retarded as BLM was (and is!), the lockdowns were even more fucking retarded. So good on them for saying "fuck this!" to the lockdowns. It's literally the one thing they got right.

[MikeInHawaii]

When did riots and looting become me “mass gatherings?” Rioting and looting is always selfish and Marshall law should be declared to regain order.

[KostasKouvalis]

Have you ever met a black organization that WASN'T been selfish?

[Asker]

no, I haven't

[KostasKouvalis]

Exactly

[SiberFox]

"Gatherings"
"Protests"
You mean riots

[OddBeMe]

Discounting the rioting which was bad and had other actors… BLM was proven not to have caused a covid spike because (gasp!) they wore masks.

[Anonymous]

Is that a protect there? Looks to me like they’re jumping on the opportunity to rob stuff.

[Opinion Owner]

Protest I mean.

[NamerOfStars]

Why stop at 25? Why not 700?

[HighValue]

BLM is a racist criminal organization.

[Apologies456]

Yeah It was messed up

[Reijen]

Wait, thought it was only 5 million globally.

[Anonymous]

Yeah it was absolutely selfish
