This has been the left’s rhetoric for eons. They always excuse their actions because of their ”noble” goals. Same regarding policy - its the stated goal that matters, not the end results and real-world consequences of their policies.

Having a convicted terrorist as a director of their beloved BLM movement means nothing. Lofty ideals matter.

Invading a city block means nothing. Lofty ideals matter.

If you don’t think the people who did CHOP and Capitol are equally dangerous to society, you’re wilfully turning a blind eye.

Except it hasn't been. You just don't want to listen to what people are actually saying because it's easier to argue against a strawman.

FWIW lots of people on the left do the same thing. So I guess you're in good company?

I’m always willing to listen to a factual counterargument but you’re not presenting one.
