But the ACLU is fighting for civil liberties and BLM is fighting for civil liberties, so attacking one another when they should be attacking the actual oppressors is foolish.

It's like one cat fighting another cat in your hungry cat example.

Yet if we just fixed the problem, there wouldn't be a reason for either one of them to be doing anything.

Everything that everybody is doing is caused by the fact that the problem exists. If they're doing effective things, or counter-productive things, or whatever, I guarantee you they're doing whatever they think is the best option for them, give a situation where they are powerless to effect actual change to the underlying problem.
