34. Says the anarchist

who doesn't know anything about defining politics

The far right, the anarchists, resorts to violence to achieve destruction of an ordered government. The people who took guns near a public figure were shown to be right wing.

My own opinion is that the events have been put together for show, for distraction. When the far right chooses to lie about every detail of every single aspect of anything they talk about, why should I believe that these gun events are not more of the same? I imagine it's pretty easy for computer geeks to make up an alternate internet presence so the guys with the guns have a plausible background, if needed. The right wing creates their lies from whole cloth and they've lied for years. Making up gun events with their guy as a target is probably a cake walk.

The first guy did better than the puppet masters expected and there was (possibily unintended) collateral damage This gun event was tweaked so that no sanitary pads would be required, but would still disrupt the current news cycle with credulous talking heads taking it as a real threat. Because the right wing wants a standing army they don't train, don't arm, don't support, but keep handy when they signal a dog whistle to action, there is a vast pool of willing and stupid and misguided Americans with guns, who will interpret what they see and hear in their own unique way and act accordingly.

I have always had a skeptical nature. The right wing lost any credulity a long time ago. I feel like the people behind our current ridiculous situation are all playing some kind of elaborate game where they all have access to tools for the game, and take turns rolling the dice to see which of them gains. They aren't playing for advantage. They're playing for fun. And the rest of us are living with the result of their wanton indifference.
