> Are you unironically contesting that popular social media was used to organize
No, everything must be organized, I get that.
> riots and massive property damage last summer?
I'm asking for a source regarding the accusation that they were used to "burn down parts of Minneapolis, Chicago, and LA"
And before you ask, yeah, I take issue with the idea of most of those events being called "riots" - they were almost entirely peaceful protests, with unarmed protesters, that were met by militarized police forces and unnamed federal agents. Furthermore, I take issue with the emphasis on "property damage" as property is fairly meaningless when you fear for your live or live paycheck-to-paycheck.
America has an unhealthy obsession with "property damage" as if it should be the driver for any sort of discussion on societal issues, when in fact, it should not be.
