I wish people stop using that term; "progressive" lol. But yes.

Let's start calling them for what they really are: regressives

@Krunoslav They use it all over the world... we all know its a lie... we all know what they actually stand for.

Michelle needs to be castrated........

BTW SMH... Leftwing rag.

I don't know how many people showed up in support in DC. Most didn't do anything violent. And those that entered the building some just fell for the adrenaline rush and heard instinct. 4 people died. They were not even aknowlaged. And grunts that were called in were using excesive force on nany who were just there as supirt in protest. Meanwhile BLM antifa rampaged cities up and down America and I'm not sure but I don't think Trump was that harsh. In this mess peple who are criminals got away and once again smallfish took the fall.

@Krunoslav there must be a lesson for conservatives in all of this.

@eschatologyguy Indeed. I suppose they should focus on grass roots movements and not expect the political class to help. They also should start building their own institutions for education and everything else. Leave cities as much as possible, build online alternative platforms for communication and education and business. And educate themselves about how we got here in historic sense. Who, what, when, where and why? Focus more on things that matter, family, health, children etc. Learning new skills. Etc.

As for political class of conservatives, they too will have to learn how to know their enemy. This was a battle loss because people didn't know themselves well enough or their enemy. And those that knew their enemy didn't know themselves or vice versa.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

So I think that is probably a lesson, at least for me. Also we should learn about technocracy and globalism to understand how things work in larger framework. Why lock-downs, mask wearing etc is not about medicine but social engineering.

The storm on the capital for example. It seems that is was classical trap. They send in payed agitators to rile up the crowed, and police let them in, and than the incident can be used to sweep the corruption under the carpet, no evidence or objections have to be presented, and the incident can be used for more tyrannical laws.

@eschatologyguy Here is part I've taken from PDF brochure of people who train protestors and pay professional agitators.

Who we are

This guide was authored by leaders of Momentum, a training institute and movement incubator. We study what makes or breaks social movements. And we teach people how to incorporate the best techniques and strategies of protest into their ongoing work for social justice.

We are organizers, researchers, and trainers who have decades of experience between us in many social movements. We’ve organized to defend the rights of immigrants, to leave the fossil fuel economy behind and stop climate change, to dismantle racist power structures, to fight for international peace and justice, and to bring an end to corporate money in politics. Our organizations, alongside others, are hard at work together to stop the Trump/GOP agenda. (We’ve included a list of these organizations at the end of this guide.)

Momentum has trained hundreds of grassroots leaders in dozens of organizations throughout the United States and internationally. We invite you to sign up for a training with the Momentum Institute to learn how to put the work of this guide into practice.

To explore the issues raised in this guide in greater depth, you may want to read This Is an Uprising: How Nonviolent Revolt Is Shaping the 21st Century, by Mark Engler and Paul Engler. (Paul is a co-founder of Momentum.) Released in 2016, This Is an Uprising surveys the field of civil resistance and draws lessons from some of the great social movements of the past century.

These include the Civil Rights Movement, ACT UP, and Occupy in the United States; the movement for independence in India; and the resistance movement that brought down a dictator in Serbia. We’ve drawn on several of those accounts in the sidebars throughout this guide.

@eschatologyguy Beyond compromise—movement

The crisis we are in today calls for a movement strategy rather than a compromise strategy. What does that look like?

First, it means polarizing the issues. Just as the function of a magnet or a battery depends on the opposition between its positive and negative poles, it is necessary to cast issues in terms of right and wrong. This forces people to pick a side. It’s the opposite of searching for positions where there’s broad agreement, as reassuring as it might be to emphasize common beliefs across the political spectrum.

Second, it means focusing on the base. For too long, the Democratic Party has demobilized its own base, only to activate it in brief moments before elections. The base consists of the core voters of the Democratic Party. By seeking positions that appeal to them, we can draw swing and crossover voters to us. If we face a choice between placating the Democratic Party’s big-money donors or appealing to passionate grassroots supporters, we should choose the latter—the path of energy, activation, and hope.

Third, it means creating and sustaining active popular support. This refers to a base of supporters who are willing to take action to push the movement’s vision. It is distinct from the kind of passive support that most public opinion polling reveals. Mainstream Democratic politics and even many large liberal nonprofits havesteered away from these three principles for more than a generation. Instead, they’ve pursued the path of compromise and “triangulation.” Compromise is appealing as a civic virtue. Against an opponent who is using a movement approach, however, it is a recipe for loss after loss.

We see mainstream Democratic politicians and organizations seeking broad consensus and floating proposals that claim to reject the dug-in positions of left and right, triangulating a third position above either. They raise the prospect of “grand bargains” but end up disappointing both sides in equal measure. There have been small victories along the way, but the overall trend has put us where we are now—out of power, with Republicans solidly in control at the federal level and in most of the states.

@eschatologyguy In its simplest form, the theory is this:

Stopping the assault on our democracy, protecting social programs, and building progressive power will require steadily growing numbers of people to consistently support a social movement.
These people will need to engage in three different types of protest action:

1. Public protests that bring in new supporters and change what’s considered politically possible

2. Acts of resistance focused on people in power (chiefly elected officials)

3. Electoral politics that oust Republicans and replace the Democratic establishment with movement-allied leaders.

So there are training camps and recruitment for people out there on the streets "mostly peaceful protests". They have funding, training, organizations, cover from Main Stream Media, crooked politicians and they have bail money. So for "conservatives" there must be equal training on the other side, or its a war they can't possibly win. Random protests because someone is not treating them right is simply not effective as this kind of coordinated planned pressure. It is a war out there. Information and culture war. And politics in downstream of culture.

@eschatologyguy

Who Was Behind The Insurrection At The US Capitol?

LIVE: Trump promises “Orderly Transition”; Pence pressured to remove Trump otherwise Impeachment

@eschatologyguy Also I can't find it right now but there was a whole schematics of what gear to wear for protests and riots, what police will be using and wearing. All the tactics for fighting police and how police responds. How to record videos after provoking attacks, edit the video and post propaganda story on Twitter and share it, all coordinated. Etc.

So its a whole paramilitary operation and "riots capitalism" industry is on the rise, world wide. So along side big players there are small players too and medium players too. For any conservatives to use old school civil methods, means they cannot possibly win. Its important to know the enemy you are fighting and their methods.

Shadow Gate 2.0 - Full Documentary
Premiered Oct 16, 2020

NOTICE: The content of this video is part of an official whistleblower complaint. On the day Shadow Gate had an early release, a well planned targeted smear campaign by media outlets and social media influencers was launched to distract away from the subtle panic the military industrial complex was going through in the background. What was so dangerous about Shadow Gate and our whistleblowers that the documentary created such a knee-jerk reaction? That is the subject of this documentary.
