The Black Lives Matter protest failed BECAUSE it became non-violent.
A few months ago, JVL wrote a triad called: “How to Think (and Act) Like a Dissident Movement” where he argues that the collective power and energy of the masses should be given to politicians, to encourage and support them to stand up to Trump.

I called bullshit, because that’s exactly what happened with Black Lives Matter.
As I mentioned, it was violent protest that eventually had Chauvin charged with murder.
But then, it became a mass, non-violent protest, which, as JVL suggested, became a political process (instead of protest), between Senator Booker and Senator Scott.
That was its demise. Now as a Congressional Senate process, between two black conservatives, it stalled, and then died.
During that slow dying, the conservative language spin doctors got to work; smearing every Democrat with the tag they wanted to “defund the police”.
And it worked.
Senator Scott’s final coup de grace was an announcement saying that HE refuses to “defund the police”.
And that’s how the world’s biggest protest movement ended, with a slogan.
This slogan was used as a club against democrats for the next FOUR YEARS. Incredible.
The problem was when the violent protesters gave DC politicians a veto over the outcome of the protest.
It should have stayed violent if it had wanted to succeed. Look at the entirety of US history and tell me I’m wrong.
What if, after “the shot heard round the world”, a couple of US politicians had gone to King George in England to negotiate better terms for the colonies?
Would the United States ever have gained independence?

No, the founding fathers fought till it was won.
