    I’m mostly with you, but if I tried to exercise and my legs broke, it’d be kinda wild to say the exercising “worked” because it exposed my shitty, unhealthy knees

    I mean I think where I disagree with this mapping of the metaphor is that it isn’t a personal failing or problem, BLM was one of the biggest protest movements around police violence ever.

      You’re completely right.

      I think framing the success in terms of awareness raised is likely the best way to demonstrate the impact of a protest/movement.
