The argument seems to be that the majority of BLM protestors were peaceful (indisputably true) or that breaking into stores en masse is peaceful if no one physically got hurt
from the article: "To be sure, Spotify’s stock price was already on the slide — having plummeted 25% year-to-date as of Jan. 25, the day before Young’s catalog was pulled off Spotify."
A truthful headline would be "Spotify's stock price continues sliding after Neil Young" etc
REMINDER
In June 2020 Buffalo police cleared the streets in blatant defiance of the 1st Amendment's guarantee of the right to peaceably assemble.
In doing so they shoved a senior to the ground, and the man started to bleed out of his ear(s).
The cops were neither fired nor indicted for fracturing his skull
People are claiming that he's Antifa, which I believe and don't care about in this context, and that the blood was fake.
If the latter is true, please reply w a link

Czech elections are this weekend
There is a strong possibility that the Communists, one of the very few Communist parties to maintain their name and identity, will finally lose parliamentary representation
UPDATE
The Czechs have kicked all the Communists out of parliament and for good measure kicked out all the Social Democrats too
As of 2013 the Social Democrats had been the biggest party in parliament and the Communists in 3rd (mostly buoyed by the elderly)
They've also gone from 9 parties in parliament to 4, a couple of which are merged parties.
I discussed in The New Right how the increase of parliamentary parties in Europe made coalitions more difficult
What we are seeing instead is new, unprecedented political coalitions forming
