Basically, they hire a bunch of people to pretend to be us and then they make disruptions in public so that people start to hate us. I'll go into more detail in this thread. First, they identify a homeless person and eliminate them. Then, they put someone who looks pretty similar in the same spot and they start making noise, tearing up flowers, being really pushy about asking for money and shit, yell at passerby, that kind of thing. They do this for homeless people, trans people, black people, anarchists, punks, leftists, basically everyone they don't want. They do this to defame our champions. Our most vulnerable. Our strongest of heart and their greatest threats. They do this to turn the liberal majority against us. the conservative minority fell for it quite easily. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┘ === SIMILARITY RANKED === --- #1 fediverse/3891 --- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────── "no, you're the opposite of a yes-man, AKA a gatekeeper.

They got their hands full. They don't want to have to deal with his bullshit, but I do believe they are ready to if they need to. They protect the constitution, the people, and the land. If we do not harm those things, we're (probably) clear from their sights. At this stage, I advocate against "broken window" riots. I'm also mostly against protests, because it's clear that nobody with power is listening. I do however believe in the radicalizing potential of mass civil movements and the energy that physical presence can bring, which I believe in MARCHES and PARADES more than protests and riots.
