Because the anti-anti-looting fad did not carry the day (modulo the occasional fired data scientist or killed article) responsible leaders were able to park the protests in a good place and we’ve seen tremendous social movement success. — PolitiTweet.org

But it was a close run thing in my view and if *everyone* had given into that pressure, and progressives had gone to America with an “actually looting is good” message or built CHAZ-style zones in every city we’d have a much less happy outcome today. — PolitiTweet.org
