    How would anybody know? The microscope hasn't been put on BLM protests.

      318 nominees for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2020. Long list, bound to be lots of clickbait in the pile.

      That does seem like a lot. However the fact remains that American pop culture would largely embrace a win for BLM. God knows a large majority of high status white liberals would.

        Regardless of American pop culture and what it thinks, other than very little, BLM has become an international movement. There were plenty of BLM sponsored protests and demonstrations in solidarity with what was happening in the US, up here last summer that did not result in riots, looting or seizures of public spaces. BLM also joined forces with the various indigenous groups against systemic racism. The only time problems arose is when groups of local rednecks and reactionaries showed up and deliberately provoked a fight. Usually the rednecks got their sorry asses whupped but good by the indigenous allies - you know, Larry's bro's. - of BLM.

        Elbows up!

          I have no knowledge of whether that did, or did not, happen in countries other than the US.

          I watched much of Chicago and my neighboring suburbs burn with no redneck involvement.

          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            Sounds like a real good vs evil fight. Certainly that is the narrative propagated by high status white liberals here with no real skin in the game. Other than to feel better about themselves, being good.

              BLM's real success will not be measured with whupped rednecks

              BLM's success will be measured by dead police

              That is the reason the group was created, to kill police

                  Perhaps you should speak to some First Nations people about it too. Wouldn't hurt.

                    It's really, really, not about them. If you want to know what it's about, check the viral thing that starts the riots.

                      If BLM were a cohesive social idea of Good vs Evil, it would be about them. But it's really not. It's a tool used by high status liberals to attain and maintain power over the culture. There is huge rhetorical value within the idea that white cops kill black people because racism. From that can be derived broader systemic racism. No such rhetorical value exists within other race combinations. The whole culture is terrified of questioning that narrative. People do lose jobs. And as I've grown older, I've questioned more and more whether there's an actual difference between received social ideas parroted due to social intimidation, and real ideas observed by a rational human mind.

                        That might be the case in the US. So you're probably right.

                        Here though it is much broader. BLM is one small aspect of systemic racism.

                        Still, I wouldn't claim BLM as exclusive to the US. It is elsewhere, may be just not quite as much in your face.
