But on this we can find common ground.

I have yet to meet a black bloc that was less than 90% young adult white males from the suburbs who wouldn't know oppression if it crushed their throat with a boot stomp.

After a hard day of putting their sacred lives and honor on the line in the grand struggle to 'liberate the public spaces', they will pile into their hand-me-down mid-size luxury sedans their parents gave them, go back to loft condos in gentrified neighborhoods (they moved their for 'the diverse culture' that they displaced upon arriving in it) paid for with mommy and daddy's trust fund money and complain about how 'ungrateful' the other protesters were to them.
And this is part of the Progressive movement, why? How?

The anarchists are much closer to the Bundy crowd than they are to Progressives. Look at the Women's March on the 21st. Millions of women, men and kids all over the world protesting Trump and his bigoted, racist, misogynist pals and it was 100% peaceful as far as I know. That is the Progressive movement.

Anarchists love to latch on to a protest, ever since the WTO protests in this neck of the woods where there were indeed more Progressives and liberals that made a statement against trade and corporations that left workers and the disadvantaged in terrible straights they seem to come out to every major event.

I've been an anti-war activist since I was in my teens. There have always been the tagalongs trying to claim the crowd was for their causes most people in the protest never heard of. Sometime the protest leaders were successful marginalizing the tagger-ons, sometimes they were allowed to march with their minority opinion signs. The Socialist Workers Party are your classic leaches trying to make it look like a march agrees with them when we don't.

This is the same crap. Protest organizers need to learn from the successful methods of marginalizing these idiots and not letting them take credit for a massive movement that are not there to support their nonsense.
