    My best guess? The next time there’s a “No Kings” protest, they’ll use plainclothes plants to instigate violence and use these units to crack in everyone’s skulls. For this reason, I think that peaceful protests need to be diligent about watching out for such instigators to the point of restraining them ourselves.

    Even if you’re in favor of riots, helping these false flag Nazis will be a terrible idea. In all cases you must give them exactly the opposite of what they want, and what they want is to crackdown on a scale we’ve never seen before. Center protests on the failing economy and rising poverty and let how they attack you say everything you need to about the government.

        These fuckers are all too weird to blend in even in Portland. They’ve been spotted immediately from what I hear. Let that sink in.

          its actually easy to spot a plaincloths, in s store setting to. they often wear jeans, and act very shady like a shoplifter would. plus you might able to see thier handgun, cuffs. and lets not forget sunglasses to hide thier face. also the fact they dress very differently from a protestor too.

      I think the formal creation of Rainbow Panthers would be helpful. They are the defiant wing of the protest movement, and by formalizing their existence, it becomes possible for them to vet and deal with weird instigators.

      We want two Spiderman pointing at Venom, and agreeing to deal with the imposter.

      there have been agitators in BLM protests in the past, and i would imagine there have been some in the kings protest. the ones were often done by right wing influencers, like NGO and others.

        And I’m telling you that they’ll be doing it more frequently and with federal support. They’ll be more organized and intentional about it than before.

      If we just demonstrate as clearly as possible that we’re not a threat to them, they’ll have no choice but to give in to our demands!
