To redirect revolutionary energy from destroying to the system to just criticizing Trump. It is a way for them to gain popular support and show themselves as anti-establishment instead of the bourgeoisie that they are who need to be overthrown
To be completely fair, it's not Walmart the corporation. That framing is a bit disingenuous.
How is that being "fair" or the original framing "disingenuous"? She's the Walmart heiress! So what if it wasn't the actual direct corporate funds that the money was shelled out from, it was still a top member of the Walton Family who owns the corporation. No one is saying "Ew look, Walmart funded this" we're saying "Ew look, some of the filthiest and most notorious of the bourgeoisie funded this."
Pretending that because the Walmart board of trustees weren't directly the ones funding it, this criticism is some kind of misdirection, that is what's disingenuous.
It's not misdirection to be more specific. I do think it's a bit disingenuous to imply the entire corp sponsored the protest lol
distinction without a difference
Yeah that's fair.
