They (BLM/"left") seem like bait to suck your time and energy fighting them and those on their "team". Paid actors perhaps acting in the most inciteful way possible. The frequency of "outrageous" behavior and demands has gone up in just a few years.
Put two pitbulls in a cage (artificially created situation), they end up fighting (real fighting). Similarly, artificially bring together (on social media) opposite groups using algorithms, and let them fight. Or, in the real world, damage side 1 and make it look like side 2 did it.
The "rightwing" seems compromised too, with opinion leaders and influencers drawing "their" side's attention to strategically less useful "fights".
IMO we need to be parsimonious about how we spend our resources (time and energy).
The right is focused on issues which is the bottom rung. The left is focused on institutions which is the top rung. This was inverted under Bush. (Not a statement of support)
