They aren't "pointless little rallies" though they tap into a raw history and ideology of lynchings, police killings, state repression and a fucking president who's a fascist white supremacist. These actions don't take place in a vacuum they are emboldened, as I have said repeatedly and which you've failed to counter, by a president who can't condemn them, a press who fawn over them, a police force which protects them and murders the people they want them to kill, and a state who implicitly supports them. It's bizarre that you suddenly condone violence when it's another state's sovereignty that's breached but not when an ideology is used to oppress, attack and kill marginalised groups within a state's borders.
