The symbolism on display in the last week... Trump WH RNC has Nazi larp vibes. Police displays look like praetorian guard lamps. Guillotine protest across from Bezos’ house has French Revolution larp vibes. BLM silence-is-violence stuff looked like Maoist cultural revolution larp

Are they LARPs and/or are they some kind of meta pattern? Like how Kent State looked like the Boston Massacre, and Kyle Rittenhouse was similar to the lone English soldier that initiated the Boston Massacre. (ie bringing guns to a riot is really risky to maintaining order)

Pattern. The functional problem that revolutions need to solve is how to create the common knowledge that "we are having a revolution NOW, not at another time". This almost always implies building off of the culture's conception of how a revolution looks.
