Fox myth-making to the contrary, BLM wasn't an orgy of arson and looting, in fact remarkably peaceful. And it was about *demonstrating* — showing solidarity — rather than deliberate infliction of damage, even if there was (inevitably) some damage at the edges 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Accusations of hypocrisy on both sides over Canada; right asks why liberals didn't want crackdown on BLM demonstrators, left asking why right is OK with blockades by "truckers" (mostly not actually truckers). Important to understand the non-equivalence 1/ https://t.co/l6yxG0dN0E — PolitiTweet.org

The Canadian blockades, by contrast, have inflicted a remarkable amount of damage despite involving few people — because causing harm was the deliberate goal. So no hypocrisy in saying that excessive force was used against BLM, inadequate against blockaders 3/ — PolitiTweet.org
