the thing is 'racist' these days means 'you disagree with my opinion', it's just a meaningless label used to cancel people whose voice you want to suppress

if anything BLM propaganda combined with violence and unprecedented popular support really remind me the rise of these guys https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturmabteilung

they use the same bullying and intimidation tactics to grab political power

And you are parroting the arguments used against fascists trying to take power.

No, "racist" doesn't mean whoever disagree with an opinion, it might mean for you on the circles you take part and consider somewhat important enough in your life to let them impart that impression, racist just means what it has always meant: people that willingly or by ignorance use ethnicity (or race) as the basis for judging someone's else character, life situation and/or social status.

This hasn't changed and there are a lot of those out of the woodwork, if you are basing yourself out of Twitter then... Yeah, you are in a toxic place.

No racist means what it always has. Discrimination due to race.

Racists are playing the blame card, and shifting the goals more now though.
