anytime you appear to have constructed some kind of active political formation people inevitably start asking how you’re going to solve every problem.

an honestly half these “Panther” groups up to somethin too.

exactly, anyone that doesn’t understand that is living in a fantasy.

i need to see the Urban cartoon so i can tear it apart.

i’m still all over it cause all the Black 2a and NOI ppl i follow are on there. the feed is crazy, but it’s useful.

This is not accurate at all. Aaron Dixon, the Panther vet who originally gave them permission, said it was due to other reasons.

most of the problems ppl had were not what we should’ve been talking about:

what does community defense look like? Def not posting wild ass videos.

what good do BPP style programs do post-nonprofit industrial complex.

cult of personality is what got the og BPP, so why are ppl so into it still?

anyway, Birdsong and the Black Lion story will continue. they have 50k and a public discussion happening this week.

but it’s only gonna be weirdos like me that will know all about it.

The fact that so many people claimed that Birdsong was misrepresenting the Panthers, yet they had zero knowledge of the politics of the Panthers shows us something we already kind of know.

Motherfuckers will just make up anything to support their point.

There are real questions about what it means to be a Panther and who gets to decide who is one.

There were thousands of Panthers with various relationships to the party, but there’s a tendency to hold all their words with the same weight.

regardless, the party is long gone and not returning

So, what have we learned? Not to do it again?

The aftermath has already seen the hundreds of obscure BPP groups trying to milk the motion off Birdsong. This has mostly looked like them posting denouncing videos and membership drives.

The FBAs have declared victory and moved on to…restin, I guess
