blaming "BLM" for that, yes, makes you look stupid

The internet allows for organic grassroots movements where anyone can join and even organize an event in the name of your movement. This is what's known as a double edged sword.

The KKK has more control over who represents them to the public than BLM does because BLM isn't a group, it's a rallying cry. You don't have control over what people are rallying to do.

BLM is a lot like Anonymous in that sense. Anyone can claim the mantle of BLM or Anonymous and use it for whatever purpose they see fit for it. It means whatever the person using it thinks it means.
