      1. Cross-tribal dialogue time! Permit me to serve as your intermediary. Had a chat about violent protest today with Lefties on Facebook.

      2. I asked why protesters don't eject black bloc before they fuck things up. Many friends are protest kids, so expected some insight.

      3. Turns out they all haaaaaaate black bloc, for reasons of (i) optics, and (ii) endangering kids and elderly. Unfortunately,

      4. They don't eject black bloc for several reasons. First is philosophical reluctance to tell others how to protest. There was a term . . .

      5. for this, something like "diversity of tactics." Second, these protests are mostly leaderless, and without direction or even cohesion

      6. ejecting a semi-organized, armed, relatively young and male minority is practically infeasible. So you get what you saw today.

      8. But I also doubt moderate protesters and police have sufficient mutual trust to realize these gains, at this point. Bummer. /thread

      this is confusing to me. Surely there are well-intentioned cops? But seem to coordinate towards bad ends

      I'm extremely skeptical of police but that is maybe a separate convo, there is a monster can of beans here @jolenestarshine

          the overarching point here is that protest against a corrupt system cannot be coordinated with that system
