Great analysis, much needed perspective for right wingers who don’t understand how these sorts of things form and who is involved. The only thing I’d add is that the 90% peaceful thing they always say IS true, but they count on the 10% to be violent so they can claim peacefulness while still applying the violent pressure. They know the anarchists and the looters will come to any of this bullshit, so they are used as a backhanded cudgel.
Thanks. This is great. You should make a habit out of explaining to busy middle class people that images, gestures and sounds in time have greater psychic penetration – because they are subliminal – than reading abstractions (words).
I think naturally sane people are at a disadvantage here because they are suspicious of images. Images, after all, are lies. A painting of a landscape isn't a real landscape but oil on canvas, let alone AI chimeras. And yet, words are even more capable of twisting reality. For example, what does white supremacy mean? Nobody knows, but whatever it is, it's bad, and white, because President Joe Biden says so.
This problem you are engaging with goes back a long way: to sacred rituals, and so forth, that many no longer believe in or take part of. Maybe the Super Bowl is the closest to sacred ritual in modern America.
Well since the dumpster is always an opposite world he's out of the accused him of having paid protesters and paid troublemakers so I'm guessing that they did pay people to go down there and create those situations

In the age of A.I., propaganda is obsolete. Everyone becomes wise to it.

And remember every accusation is a confession with them so he's basically out of confess that they did pay people to go down there and cause problems
