6. On DU there are about 12 people who have always supported minority disruptive activist

The rest are either hand wringing over BLM or over LGBT activists or Code Pink. Very few posters on DU consistently stand with the people who are motivated to action.
Few are righteous in this regard. Of course some of the people who said they were always opposed to disruptive activism for any reason when it was LGBT activists are now wildly supportive of disruptive activism for some reasons and yet oddly they never seem to speak of how they went from 'this is never right' to 'this is always right'. Seems to me they just did not like LGBT people doing it.
So I see DU as almost exclusively populated by those who wring hands and wail about one disruptive activist group or another. Few support all minority groups engaged in emergency political actions.
