>outside agitators might have fanned the flames This was absolutely the case, as clip after clip showed umbrella man and others performing and inciting vandalism and chaos. Meanwhile, actual protestors were pleading with them to stop or directly intervening to stop them. In each case, the instigators were young, white and frequently dressed in all black. Early arrestees matched this description and were frequently from out of town. There was absolutely an infiltration/false flag operation. It amazes me how little this has been covered and how successful they were at establishing their narrative, even while so obvious. Likewise, I'm amazed by how "Antifa" magically materializes at such opportune times for driving certain political narratives, then disappears again, yet there's very little questioning as to who these anonymous people really are. Instead, media and others just accept that they are who they say and assign them to a political "side".

You do know Andy Ngo literally posts mugshots of antifa arrested right? I’m not taking any sides here but the notion that antifas activities are somehow the right is laughable. Just as laughable as the j6ers acting like antifa had a hand there.

  >depressingly effective Indeed. It's an efficient engine by now: create fear of other; convert to anger; implant puppeteers' bidding; repeat. In fact, they've been so effective at instilling a persistent, generalized fear, they can skip straight to the anger/action step.

    Yep, and I don't see any indication of that abating, quite the opposite in fact. The creation of Team Red v. Team Blue was a masterstroke of political manipulation, cementing American society into a never-ending genteel gang war.
