Mindset of the AnarchoAgitattors. Just a little insight. Thought I would put in my two cents about all the agitation that is going on now. I have mentioned this before. This is part of the "know thy enemy" information. Set aside the racial aspects and look past to what is really undergirding much of the activity. Having been left of left some years ago, I dove deep into the whole programming, so I can speak somewhat to the mindset. The only difference now would be the technology of immediate communication, cell phones, etc, as well as enough iterations of grouping together and participating in other actions previous to the present situation. These folks get trained up and train together. You get even a couple of or a half dozen trained agitators and "organizers" and in turn, [they] will agitate and mobilize hundreds. Has happened before will happen again. Then you also have the information readily available of previous incidents and this history becomes a motivator to be used to enflame and further enrage. Wounds do not heal, Everything is brought up again. I am not speaking to the specifics nor am I judging the present circumstances as I am not there. But frustration, pent up anger, and even at times blatant abuse can only spark a powder keg. As the temps rise in spring/summer weather, and other factors, this only increases the opportunity to kick it off. Agents provaceteurs may have been trained at Patrice Lumumba University in the Soviet Union decades ago.(For those who want to dig further, possibility Hussein attended at Lumumba. Not sure, but possible.) Now we have plenty of organic groups/platforms to springboard off from as well as, I said before, the means to even more immediately get the word out and assemble (not) peacefully. I still get occasional, sporadic texts from one. I let it remain so in order to get heads up on some things. While I did not participate in illegal actions, I did have some experience with protest. And I must say it is a heady feeling to think you are fighting "the man" and striking a blow for the underdog. It took a few years for me to realize how much that honestly altruistic mindset, with a bit of indoctrination, was actually being used (as in useful idiot) to further an agenda that I thought was for us and not against us. Boy was I fooled. Imagine now the intense peer pressure and the constant drumbeat to "resist" not only pertaining to the whole table flip on HRC, but even the unrelenting attacks against our duly elected POTUS. This only expontiates the volatility. Then the stress of Covid, which already tries men's souls and now this. It will never stop. I have been able to speak at length with others in the black community (I consider everyone "my" community, have always been that way "we are one human family".) And I am able to just be quiet and listen. Sooo much can be helped with simply listening. Heh, I usta be pulled over and profiled and I am not black. Ive been threatened but fortunately things got dialed back before it got crazy. So there are MANY factors in this whole scenario in real time. Again, knowing the mindset of those who only mean to destroy the Republic, [they] will continue to use whatever means necessary. If it is not "medical experts" on the previous crisis, then it is, as I have said, a number of faceless but very well trained folks who will do the best they can using every trick in the book for the latest challenge facing US today. Another core aspect of being left of left (or whatever-a hater/a divider) is the conviction that you believe you have answer. EVERYONE ELSE has to change to the picture you have of a utopia, EXCEPT YOU. There is a glee and a hubris that comes from others around you and yourself figuring out the next thing to do to trip your target up. You know the rule book by Saul Alinsky. It is not a work of fiction. While I was into the very extreme doctrines put forth by Mao, as well some of the Russian anarchist writings for good measure (who even learns about the historical threat that these posed?), I cannot imagine what folks are into now. Finally, again, don't totally buy that this is a racial thing. It is a situation being exploited by those who know EXACTLY what the hell they are doing to tear US down (that means EVERYONE. Black and white. [They] want US divided.)  This is not a game. Godspeed.
