@Chud_Bud_Supreme : You can see AntiFA types following the Alinsky play book, but you can also see that those tactics are no longer as effective, with every Tom, Dick and Harry having a smartphone, so the street tactics paint them in a bad light; whereas, a decade or two ago (and before), when the lamestream media had a monopoly on video (and would swarm the occasional citizen with video), it's a lot harder to cherry-pick.
You see this in the Covington Kids case. The legacy media still operate the same way, and by playing the one juicy clip that makes the kids look bad, were running with it, as they have with all such events in the past, to paint a narrative-affirming picture. But in less that 24 hours, the "extended cut" had made the rounds, and the Internet knew it was a bunch of bullshit, while the lamestream were still pushing the standard narratives. They used to get away with that shit, and they still haven't changed their modus operandi, which has given them yet another black eye.
They're all fooled, because they're still managing to fool their ever-shrinking audience, as ever. But they're living in that shrinking echo chamber, not realizing (until it's too late) that they do NOT have the monopoly on the narrative any more. It's amazing at how blind they are to the fact that the curtain's been pulled back and that millions of ordinary people are WATCHING them pulling their levers. Toto, who pulled back the curtain in the Wizard of Oz, takes the form of a multitude of independent content creators and regular folks with smartphones.
We really saw this at the peak of the campus hate mobs before and after 2016. The media was pushing the same narratives it pushed back in the Free Speech protests, half a century ago, but it was plain to millions of people that the protesters were actually hate mobs. Those tactics are still working in Canada, with more restrictions on media and the Internet, where you REALLY have to be creative to get something not sanctioned by the Canadian government and the Canadian Broadcasting Company. In the USA, there're more people willing to put themselves out there and show the shit for what it is. In Canada, you can be arrested for covering things the way we dirty USA citizens cover things.
