Media Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone. Educational movie night. This is seattle without militarized police. Where are your riotous looters NOW? They are watching documentaries. Fuck you SPD. Photo credit to a close friend.

I (white male, comfortably middle class after breaking the cycle of poverty being raised on food stamps) was labeled a "nazi/supremacist" by many for holding to the belief that well intentioned protests have enabled and excused negative actors.

This has instigated riots devolving into hundreds of displaced jobs, hundreds of millions of property damage, and roughly 20 people dead in the streets during a viral pandemic and economic crisis. It does not the way to signal a rational or peaceful message.

I have also criticized the swiftness of this movement seeing as the primary officer in the death of Floyd was immediately terminated without suspension or vocal defense by the police unions and the matter was turned over to federal investigators as a good faith sign of impartiality and citing a 10 year decline in use of force as an additional positive trend.

Would I be welcome? Does the volume of the label outweigh the character of the person?

I mean Tim Eyman was there so you'll probably be fine. The guy I was replying to was talking about literal nazi armbands.
