    Again: low-stakes street theater gives everyone involved the feeling of being engaged in galactically important political action when they're ultimately just showcasing their own impotence

        Making the dividees think their differences are all-important is the chief goal of the conqueror.

        I disagree that politically motivated mob violence in cities is "low stakes".

        Think differently. The measure of 'theatre' is directly proportionate to the right to express oneself freely when those in power seek to suppress it.pic.twitter.com/fBIhguiwAn

        Instead of showing solidarity with those actually fighting on the ground against fascism, you choose to spend your Twitter time degrading "both sides". It really shows your true colors.

        This kind of rhetoric reminds me of Tucker Carlson's "White supremacy is a myth" theory. This kind of take only develops in those who don't see white supremacists as a legitimate threat.

        Just before the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver a couple of dozen "Black Bloc" members rioted in downtown. When the police began intervening and with the media cameras rolling the rioters started chanting, "The whole world is watching! The whole world is watching!" #Idiots

        But they FEEL it ... the importance. The impotence they ignore (or they’d be targeting actual change)
