god I just remembered the kneeling with cops "protests" from Liberals during the actual George Floyd riots in 2020
Just to add on to what you said, but tying it with the bit from OP you quoted.... I don't think that was ignorance or them thinking they were actually helping fight against oppression. It was purely a performance to try to co-opt the liberation movement and remove its teeth in order to render it harmless. They weren't being good-intentioned but stupid, they weren't thinking they were "actively helping fight oppression" just in an ineffective way, rather they were using that pretense as a tactic to fight for oppression in a way that benefits them. And it was effective.
