With the tech media (social media) and just strait up propaganda networks like Newsmax and Fox in their prime, doesn't any distruction just allow them to label the protest as violent at best and domestic terrorism at worst? How does that move the needle in any direction other than right when they can point to video of "thugs" harming "small business" and shout it over and over?

That's when breaking the state monopoly on violence comes into play.  Does that move the needle?  It's sometimes been successful in the past.

I'm not advocating for anything, simply recognizing the inevitable when no other avenues for justice and change exist.

I don't know what you mean by "breaking the stare monopoly on violence". I would have thought any violence would be a break in that. Such as harming a small business.

You are not advocating for anything. You said so yourself. Literally the second sentence. So why are you interested at all? Sounds like you should continue to not advocate for anything and sit back in that computer chair you have and simply recognize it's comfort?

Don't you?
