BLM as a movement was co-opted to be about maximum disruption. Ultimately, if you can convince people to distrust the institutions, then democracy becomes fragile. BLM has been about disrupting trust in institutions as much as anything else it has attempted to represent.
When you see the system is entirely broken, this ideology makes sense.
When you rely on the system to survive and get life saving medicine, it’s a lot harder to get behind.
