And just to be 100% clear, #LosAngeles is nailing it. Massive peaceful protests are great. That's absolutely unequivocally a good thing. So are burning cop cars. Diversity of tactics is critical.
Escalating radically at a protest with kids and grandmas is a shit thing to do. Don't do that unless it's absolutely necessary. Having kids and grandmas out protesting is important. Having them peacefully block vehicles with their bodies or occupy ICE facilitates *is* a strong thing. That is real. That's not virtue signaling, it does something... And sometimes that isn't enough. Sometimes things *need* to escalate to save people.
Diversity is good. Don't break the diversity of tactics *either way*. #LA seems to be doing a pretty good job right now or holding that balance. I hope to see more of that in every city.

A good friend of mine was railing against the Baby Boomers what they've created for us and this was my response:
Keep in mind it's the Ruling Class who runs things, not your average Baby Boomer. Just think about your average Gen X or Millennials, and what power they possess to create huge societal change. (Sure, some do... but most do not.)
That isn't to say we can't do good things, and keep trying, and keep fighting.
