I have felt this way but lately I think the situation is not so bleak

We got caught with our pants down, sure, but people all over the country are preparing & organizing to defend themselves & their communities - that doesn't happen spontaneously or overnight https://twitter.com/OrangePartisan/status/1298107321755799553
People with nothing to lose & massive time preference are always going to have the drop on us

They can just go outside & smash windows - you & I have families & a future to think about, & there's nothing cowardly or cynical about taking that seriously
People are making friends, making plans, orienting to act - none of that shows up on the news so it looks like these crimes are just going unanswered

But what would be gained from going leeroy jenkins against BLM by yourself right now because you're mad at a viral video?
(There's also something to be said for giving law enforcement time to get this under control - as bad as things are, we can make them a whole lot worse, & it's wise to be circumspect about that)
Anyway it's probably good for us to get mad & goad each other forward on this, but don't get blackpilled, don't beat yourself up for being smart, & definitely don't throw your livelihood away for a little dopamine
