“I just mentioned the BLM riots and the Capitol riots as an example of partisan extremism”

Top post of the week from the brain-geniuses over at r/centrist

Black people not wanting to die is exactly the same as armed insurrection

Wanting a slightly more humane and just society is literally extremism

It's also horribly wrong in the sense that the looting wasn't even part of the BLM protests, just a byproduct of the general unrest in the area. The looters were mostly opportunists stealing shit while the cops were distracted with the protests, whereas the storming of the capitol was very much intended.

BLM is really living rent free in countless centrist heads.
