No. In spirit BLM made sense. But the moment it resorts to murder and mayhem then no. It loses all credibility and shows itself for what it really is. Just another gang of thugs like Antifa. And I find it hard to believe that anyone who believes in a Liberal society would support that kind of 'protest'.

Lives matter, no matter the colour.
As long as the owner of said life does not dispise the life of others. I never liked the slogan "BLM", therefore. Blacks are not more of worth than whites, browns, yellows, reds, pinks and invisible ones. Having a skin color is not a merit that ennobles you. (Same for sexual orientation, btw: "Gay pride" makes no sense to me, slogans like this are intellectual duds for me.) edit: arent we in the wrong thread for this...?

We always hear that there is no racism, a thing of the past, we got over it... bullsh!t. It is everywhere, not only in the US, but there was a bit too much shooting at black people with video and internet evidence to ignore it. So yes in spirit BLM makes sense because this slogan reminds the people that there is racial bias, more black people killed in relation, wanting to remind the world that black lives ALSO MATTER. It never meant that ONLY black lives matter, as the usual suspects immediately perpetrated, but that they ALSO do. Next are demonstrations with the usual rabble rousers walking along with the initially peaceful organisers, abusing them for hiding in the masses and create some action. How much demonstrations have we seen where the organisers tried to get rid of the aggressive idiots and looters and drive them out of their marching blocks. Never saw this on Breitbart and Fox? Too bad. What certain people wanted was to condemn all the demonstrations, to divert from the real problem and re-install the usual propaganda in the people's minds of blacks and leftists looting. What a ... will come to that later –

One billion dollars damage and twenty people killed during the 2020 George Floyd 'protests'. And the results. No change what so ever. In a civilized, progressive, liberal society social change is never brought about by violence regardless of the cause. Stop making excuses for it. If the leaders of BLM want to change things they need to get elected.

Impressive, I applaude the man, and fullheartly agree with evertyhing he said.
Only at around minute 5:00 he said something like that Russia will be willing to escalate or stay dangerous for as long as Putin is there. I can only warn, warn again, and warn more against this perception of that without Putin Russia will change for the better. IT WILL NOT. This one war maybe will be given up, but Russia's acting and behaviour will not fundamentally change. However, I fear, that Western politicians rather sooner than later will be prone again to listen to and believe in sweet lies about a better future, friendship, beign partners and all that bull.

It is more hip to scrap with a political opponent than to improve society and care for the real issues. And with why this happens here we are back to Putin..
