I'm critical of BLM because they're a front for other people's money and a marketing gimmick. Their activities have zero bearing on anything resembling a comprehensive legislative goal, whether for good or for ill. They'll trash a Starbucks or a black-owned bar and defend that garbage on Twitter but they won't go to the Capitol and throw down on the politicians. There's nothing special or insightful about them other than the fact you agree with the optics based on white guilt or some other faux-emotional bull**** that you actually don't care about but you use as an excuse to strawman people in an argument on unrelated issues. Get over yourself.

"Science-fiction" solutions? Everything I've discussed in regards to tech is already here in some form or fashion. The challenge is, and always has been, widespread adoption. Reform and regulation don't matter if enough people don't become aware of the alternatives, and that's a marketing + "business class" issue. Every criticism you've ever made towards me based on what I've said in the past is based on vulgar generalities, and you are so scattered you can't even remember what you ever had a problem with in the first place. Your last sentence there is the epitome of slander.
