I beg to differ. Without this pandemic and current US president the odds of us seeing the BLM movement would be nil considering the consistently slow burn that we've had over the past decades.

Now that the swing has been so great in one direction more people will vote and more people will care. I don't like it but that's how it's working. People who are tired and apathetic lack the impetus to enact meaningful change.

It goes both ways. There are just as many people who consider BLM to be an anarcho-marxist movement who hate white people. This is why accelerationism is bad, because it can radicalise literally everyone.

Not according to every statistic I have seen.
