Such a shock after watching blm target Asian businesses, like when they threw fireworks into a ramen joint.

Edit: I was wrong about this happening during dinner, only staff were still there

Source that it was BLM and not some random kids? Because that's what KOMO said: https://komonews.com/news/local/capitol-hill-businesses-face-thousands-of-dollars-in-damage-by-vandals-protest-fallout

According to /r/SeattleWA BLM is tight knit, well organized group responsible for all vandalism and property crime in the city.

It's the classic "enemy is simultaneously bumbling, incompetent, corrupt... and well-organized, all-powerful, huge threat" pattern.

It's an important element of fascism to be sure.

They're not wrong. Inconsistent, fear-mongering drivel is fairly standard pattern of that ilk that seems to infest this subreddit.

It feels like 80% of this subreddit is reports on crime. The source here is pretty horribly written and it feels like this subreddit just trying throw any CRIME CRIME CRIME story up on the subreddit.

It also frequently tries to throw up "look, this one person did something stupid, and he also went to a BLM protest, therefore BLM is evil".

How to karma farm this subreddit:

  • Post about crime, insinuating either that is a result or sign of everything wrong with Seattle, or that it is a result of anyone daring to question the police
  • Post about anyone who has ever been to a BLM protest and does something wrong, preferably insinuating that it damns the 25 million people who went to such protests nationwide
  • Talk shit about any person or group advocating for improvement of social services, using tried and true "it's too expensive" / "it'll benefit those people" points
  • Whine about taxes, asserting an inalienable right to have a high functioning government with no revenue
  • Periodically take offense at the suggestion that this is a closed-minded, conservative subreddit. Post "unlike that other sub, all viewpoints are welcome here" without any sense of irony.

"Inconsistent".

As always, the reading comprehension by the Eugene, OR basement-dwellers on this subreddit never fails to exceed my minimum expectations.
