Do you think actions like this ultimately scare people away from the left causing people to think leftists are unreasonably unlawful and violent?
Who said this person was on the "left"? In any case, who cares. I don't care about winning people over to the "left". I'm a communist, and history has shown that proletarian revolutions aren't primarily composed of politically active "leftists", socialists, etc. Revolutions are made by working class people acting out of self-interest, whether or not they've attained a socialist/communist consciousness (and often times, they haven't).
we dont want you dont worry
Laws in capitalist countries are written to protect private property and capital. With ICE raids killing hundreds of innocent people, violating the law does not look like a big deal.
Nah I think we're past the point where ahitloads of regular people understand that violence isn't always unreasonable, as the positive reactions to these stories show
Yeah, it's not going to do wonders for polarisation. But on the whole, you do hope that people realise it's a spectrum. Ie, not everyone on the left is a violent terrorist, not everyone on the right is a genocidal racist, and that echo chambers are very much a thing.
