    I'm visiting with family in rural Michigan. They are all somewhere between worker, lumpen, and petite bourgeois. They are all armed to the teeth. Every other conversation is about overthrowing the US government, or complaining about tech companies, media companies, and bankers.

    They also think the uprisings in major cities are part of the conspiracy because Liberal NGOs have dumped billions into co-opting the movement. My parents literally thought protesters were pro-Amazon and pro-Liberal media because they both "support" BLM.

    We agree on the biggest issues, but they are disconnected from the political struggle in the cities. I'm trying to convince them they have more to gain from an alliance with these uprisings.

      The chud brain is the most interesting brain. I wish I could live in one and achieve enlightenment.

        I am a chud-whisperer.

        When you see CNN & MSNBC saying these are "mostly peaceful" protests, or the infamous "fiery, but mostly peaceful protest in Minneapolis", it is clear the Liberal media is bullshitting you. The most political conscious protesters understand that this is not peaceful. "Peaceful protests" have accomplished nothing.

        In actuality, the Liberal media is trying to prevent the masses from learning these are genuine uprisings against a government everyone hates. They want to leverage these protests against Trump without representing the demands of the protesters.

        No one knew that the protesters in Atlanta attempted to siege the CNN headquarters. Their response to that was basically "oh, that's pretty based."
