If looting a store in chicago because something happened in NY makes you an 'activist engaging in political discourse' then doing absolutely anything constitutes activist behaviour if someone claims thats what it is.
I think one of the deciding moments for me that made me switch sides was how much money was going to the government and how little change was occurring. Its ok to demand taxes but when questions like
'where is it going'
'What is it accomplishing'
are apparently off the table, you know you're on the side of worker bees , rather than people with independent thought
Reminds me of a joke about a guy who went on a date with an OF girl
She asked what she thought she was worth and he threw a penny at her and demanded change
Even better that I knew this was the case exclusively from the headlines because at no point did they say 'WHITE MAN' in bold capital letters when referring to the crimes
If they don't say white , they were black
If they don't sale male, they were trans
