What were they hoping to achieve and are people correct in comparing it to the Portland BLM protests?
In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”
You always get a few idiots who get carried away at protests, the biggest difference has been in media coverage for those who take notice.. Antifa and BLM smashed up entire cities and peoples businesses for months and they were covered as largely peaceful protests and the corporate media lavished constant praise on them, here you have a few idiots smashing a few windows for about an hour and the same media are talking about it as if it were a coup. The same media that is censoring the (still) President of the USA.
Also here's an interesting quote:
It's also easier to fool someone than to convince them they've been fooled.
