Constants and Variables 156, riot myth edition
Bizarrely stupid and intentionally wrong myths about riots are proliferating fast.
Riots are caused by lack of shared narrative.
Riots are caused by lack of classical education.
Riots are caused by Darwin.
These idiocies are NOT EVEN PART OF THE STORY.
1. Starting a successful riot or revolution requires massive preparation and organization. Massive preparation doesn't happen unless GOVERNMENT WANTS IT TO HAPPEN. This isn't new.
For at least 170 years Deepstate has been deciding which movements to wipe out and which to co-opt. The wiped-out organizations don't get a chance to speak or protest. They only get to die. The co-opted and owned organizations are encouraged and assisted in rioting.
Real revolutions require FOREIGN government support to overbalance the internal Deepstate.
2. Starting isn't enough. Riots only CONTINUE when governments tell police to stop being police. This variable is easy to observe in the current situation. Seattle vs Spokane. The same people started the riot in both places. (I happened to hear some of the "visiting" agitators, so I'm not just guessing about this.) In Seattle the city government openly wanted riots and told the police to surrender. Here, despite the best efforts of the permanently insane city council, some part of the government accidentally allowed the police to continue being police. The heroic cops carefully distinguished** between non-violent and violent actions, and QUICKLY ARRESTED the violent actors. The second weekend fizzled, and the third riot failed to start. (Admittedly the
Weather Gods also assisted.)
In all the cities where riots are continuing, the city government is OPENLY AND SOLIDLY on the side of violence. This is not mysterious or theoretical.
Riots are government projects.

** Distinguishing isn't hard. Most of the violence in riots is performed by non-political professional criminals who are recruited for their violent skills. The cops know these criminals on a first-name basis, since the permanently insane "court" system simply gives the professionals a two-hour coffee break between jobs.
