Haven’t been following this story closely enough.
But every time I see some fascist apparatus engulfed in flames I reflexively pump my fist triumphantly.
Then I stop to wonder, “could this be another police 101 tactic of shutting down protest by means by setting things on fire or providing them with bricks or….,” as has been done in almost every instance in which a protest rally or action was getting so big and uncontrollable for them that they pull out this kind of subterfuge? Which is what they did In Minneapolis, at Occupy, throughout years of BLM uprisings, etc.
Throughout the ages the cops and FBI have done this kind of shit all the time. To populist uprising as having now stepped over the line, and with the public on their side because they are now sufficiently opposed to “this kind of violence” are onboard to see it totally shut down. “I was all for the protests, until they started to (fill in the blank).”
That said, radical acts are sometimes the only way to get the point across.
What’s the feeling here about it?
