What great causes, you mean the removal of Statues and Monuments? Defund the Police?


They want to hold police accountable that's all.

Like I said before, destroying mount Rushmore is a dumb idea because if nothing else, it’s an amazing feat of engineering

And what part of smashing stuff that has nothing to do with the police make that happen?

Or is it at this point they realized that no one is going to stop them that they're smashing for the sake of smashing.

BLM has a lot of problems though and, at this point, I'm hesitant to view the movement as a uniformly or even principally good one, especially outside of the United States and the issue of police brutality.

BLM is a radical leftist revolutionary organization hiding behind race issues.
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

I'm pretty sure BLM had no intentions to break off or reform the government in entirety from the United States at all.

They're calling for reform in the police system and justice for victims, not upheaval of the US government.
