It is genuinely concerning how many popular media outlets will characterize left-wing protests as inherently bad because they pose a threat to the ruling class, and therefore us.
People believe that stuff. They see authority as always in the right, whether or not they want to admit it: Police attacking protesters is completely expected, but protesters fighting back is violence.
Yet history shows us that disrupting order is the most effective method of pushing change.
Child labor didn’t end in the US because factory owners thought, “hey, this is actually bad”. They were met with backlash from unions and labor movements. Same with food contamination and dangerous working conditions.
We credit the ruling class for positive change when they’ve been holding it back for self benefit all along.
You are not supporting freedom for defending their position, and of course reactionary movements are the first to say resistance should be stopped by government forces.
the ruling class has never been on the good side of history because it actively resists change.
