I remember during the legendary Iraq War Protests when the same people who write these articles 20 years later were the ones masking up and breaking store windows and other proto-internet communists just smugly saying "oh that's just black bloc" like it explained everything and gave them full moral clearance.
They're definitely not the same people, at least them I have a modicum of respect for. I mean was there any real reason for that war? I helped fight in it and I couldn't tell you what or why it was for.
These people are just anarchists or communists falling into the "popular movement" just like all those falling in line during the Cultural Revolution. I don't think they realize they'd be lined up against the wall with everyone else.
