Another perspective on BLM/Bernie

25. Thanks for showing me that

I wonder if that name of their "operation' was chosen before the disruption. It kind of reminds me of Bush repeatedly choosing an offensive name for his military actions in the Middle East. Remember operations "Infinite Justice"? (Only Allah can perform Infinite justice, etc.).

Marissa referred to Bernie as both a God and an "idol" of the crowd in her radio interview. Given her religious views, I'm still leery of taking this directly to an anti-Semitic framework (though it may be one in an unconscious way - especially is she is importing ideas from Farrakhan). Given her youth, I think it's possibly more of an F- You to Authority and the fact she identifies The Rules and the entire White Crowd with a White Supremacist Superstructure. That structure oppresses her and wants her to bow before it: the name of her op is to get the "God" of that structure to bow instead.

Extremely youthful hubris. If we start looking at it in terms of hubris instead of a revival of Nazism, I think we can move on. I'm not saying that this hubris itself can't be dangerous and can't escalate (re: Baltimore riots starting with vague threat of a "Purge&quot , but we really have to start looking at this situation for what it is instead of trying to shoehorn it into the position we want it to be in, which - BLM is trying to point out to us - a practice of White Supremacist Society.
