Not to sound like a dolt, but other countries have this problem too?

Yeah. I haven’t been able to wrap my head around people “protesting” racism and fascism by burning black communities to the ground and beating up bystanders. (And how they almost never get called out for that in mainstream media.) It’s all bullshit and zero concern for actual minorities, working class people, or democracy.

Yeah. You can see them frequently at G20, G8 or other G* protests. Any kind of social issues be it climate or racism and the ”black block” will assemble. When tires or cars burned in say Paris during riots a couple years back, you betcha they were there. They usually come to these protests from all over the country. Or countries. I assume it’s a lot of fun for them, not like it’s on them to pick up the pieces.
