It's much like the term "POC" in that regard. Take a bunch of people whose only common trait is that they aren't straight and white, and construct an identity for them, defined entirely by being in opposition to straight white people.

I love the inherent weakness of people saying lives matter more than property, we can rebuild cities, etc. The inner Nietzschean in me just wants to test that resolve and break into their homes for some looting. Surely if they hate the police so much and property isn't valuable they wouldn't mind, right?

I'm fucking sick of seeing Los Angeles get trashed. ☹

All these people looking to see which companies are making pro riot anarchist statements. I got to wondering what opinion Mike Pondsmith might have. Here's the closest thing his company has said on the matter:

My aunt was a cop for as long as I can remember, hell she was still serving while her hairs turned grey. I think she retired about 6 years ago and I'm glad she did. Cause whiley hometown is quiet for now a few local black rights chapter protests aside. I can't imagine her surviving if things get as bad as they have in Portland, San Francisco, Minneapolis. Or even NYC the city next door to me.

Maybe I should have expected it, but holy shit I’m still blown away with how much the phrase “cities can be rebuilt, lives can’t” has gained traction given how it doesn’t stand up to any kind of moral or logical scrutiny whatsoever.

it makes sense in a vacuum.
you know, in a hypothetical and theoretical thought experiment where you think in trolley problems. "pick one: either an empty building burns down, or an innocent black man dies" - that kind of thing.

but in reality that is not and has never been the case. floyd is dead and no amount of rioting is gonna bring him back. the rioting does, however, result in dozens of additional deaths. THAT is where their argument completely falls apart - their rioting is actively causing MORE deaths, not less.
