BLM as a movement, not a group. While many different groups with agendas have pledged support (and many disagree. I, for example, am full capitalist and served for 8 years) the underlaying agenda that all agree on is to end police brutality and to make law enforcement efficiently utilize resources as effectively as your taxes pay for them.
I have laid out here why ALM is not a supportive statement in the current climate. There will be people that willfully use it to express a fear of change even in response to this.
Those people know it's Easy to dance around truth, and will double down in order to satisfy a need to reject the reality that there is a problem. It's harmful to their own growth of character as well.
Few, when given context to the ALM statement, will repeat it with good intention.

How would you know if someone was saying ALM as a “scape goat” as I’ve previously stated? Or if the person was using it with “good intentions” as you’ve said? How would you or anyone know if ALM is so inflammatory? And why? One example of a derogatory use would be shouting ALM at a BLM protest. That use is bad right? A positive use would be to say that police injustice isn’t just a black people issue but a people to people issue and that’s not to say police injustice should be downplayed because all lives matter. It’s almost as if you have to say one is wrong but even if that’s not the case you have many others who would say ALM is wrong because of how inflammatory it can be regardless of how you state it. So how do you know if it’s good or bad even if no one will condone ALM no matter how it’s used?

Horrible*

And you like many others answer the same. No one race matters more over the other just because color of skin. Don’t care about your skin color because injustice is injustice. So yeah ALM
-
But the fact is, you don't actually care or mean that. You're regressing now because you don't like the reality. You say ALM as a dog whistle for: "I wish people would respect the status quo" If there was no BLM movement, you would say nothing when they are hurt. It's only after, as a protest to a protest, that you say something. The irony of buzzwords like virtue signaling or snowflake is that it's often a projection. You're projecting that you actually care. You don't. Furthermore, people aren't stupid, and know you don't.

We can agree to disagree and yes all lives do matter. Not just one race. And that’s a wrap.

https://gyazo.com/8dcab54de91c831ae7d1c59430aeb397 There is a consistency to your narrative, sir, that shows that you're paying lip service here. Given all the context, you're dancing the lie, and it doesn't take twelve years of being an analyst to understand that. I hope you figure out how to look inward someday, my friend. Best of luck in your journey of self discovery.

Nobody said it's about one race. You're regressing because you realize youre wrong, and that your actual intent is transparent. I can make a wager, a very easy wager. If you can look at your past and name one defense you've made unprompted until now of a life like Floyde's, a single time where you haven't used it as a protest against a protest, and shown initiative on your own to care about that person, instead of trying to shut down a point, I'll cede the narrative. Just once. I'll wager, looking at yourself and your patterns (human beings are real good at noticing those) that you can't. And that fact is a weakness of character, not a strength.

If a person using ALM did so when somebody got hurt, and got out to defend those people, it could claim it cared. Given current context, it uses that as an excuse for an entirely different narrative.

Ive elaborated once, but sometimes it's hard to catch. Say your house is on fire, and the department comes by. It wouldn't make sense to bring up every house and talk about zoning laws. In that same light, BLM resurfaced in light of what happened to George Floyd. ALM only comes up, narratively, in response to that. The context of who says it and why is overwhelmingly in use to mitigate the BLM movement, and not, for example, to advocate for lives lost. BLM rose to response to a horribly tragedy. ALM doesn't do that. ALM makes a voice when people of color are talked about. That consistency speaks volumes.

Bro you are a true patriot! Seriously. I'm just in shock and awe on how many conservative, right wing fascist are on this post. What is sadder is that I've played with some of these people on line as guardians trying to stop evil in a fantasy game. Real life though, these people get Triggered for something that is obviously very real and that is racism still existing in this country. That's why they hit you with ALM counter and the support the police crap. I personally love everyone no matter what race, gender or ethnic background. True. But I despise fascist racist that get Triggered by 3 letters. BLM!!! The sad truth is if you read all the comments on this particular post they're more fascist trolls, way more than people like yourself and I. Keep speaking truth guardian I'm sure just like me you'll be getting nasty messages from these right wing -blam!- but F it.

The irony is that I'm an actual conservative, pay taxes, and all that. Human rights isn't a political issue, lol. These people should actually be for an accountable department, less government intervention , and proper use of tax dollars. I still support the Westphalian system, have a very aggressive foreign policy, volunteered, and go to church on the regular. I also support BLM, because its very American to want equality of outcome for your own citizens. We, as a country, should look to solve problems--not seek out pretty vengeance against people. You solve that with more democracy, more power in the hands of citizens--not less. The irony of the 'anti big government' people supporting larger government, a loss of rights, suppression of a part of the demos, unaccountability of government forces, and them trying to pass it off as 'patriotism' instead of them just being afraid of change and black people, is not lost on me. You got the same parts inside you that everyone else does, and all colors bleed red, and are draped in American flags. There's a cemetery near Normandy full of Americans. Some of those servicemen came home to batons, hangings, and police dogs in the day. Welcome to being an American, ground zero, where self reflection and adaptation is key. Democracy isn't easy, and neither is doing the right thing. People need to seriously reflect on how low they've gotten if 'shoving down the local BLM' movement on bungie, is their priority.

I was once a real horrible person. I like to think the Army straightened me out. When I saw what happened to George Floyds, I was reminded that that could have happened to any of my pals, or been done by one of my other pals. I believe that people can self reflect on why they say things, and change. A lot of folks that go seeking out this stuff to shove it down mostly hate themselves. The response is for people who have the depth of character to self reflect a bit. In any case, hit me up anytime, friends. I'd be happy to play or talk politics if you're masochistic enough.
