    first off, it isn’t a conspiracy. it’s an initiative.

    secondly, they need fodder. a lie will only go so far when you’re trying to get people to declare actual war on their own family. this isn’t a mason-dixon line war.

    lastly, you seem to have forgotten their motto: “cruelty is the point”.

      That’s literally multiple people conspiring in secret to achieve an illegal goal.

      And it’s just not necessary.

      We’re more alienated and isolated than pretty much any time in history, they really could just tell their base “go arrest your neighbor for woke and await further orders” and they would do it. There’s just no need for a conspiracy to manufacture riots, their loyalists will happily kill their neighbors. They can just do this whenever they want.

      The cruelty is certainly the point, though, and that contradicts your own conspiracy theory. They aren’t trying to manufacture riots per se, they just want to make people suffer. Even if there are no riots they get what they want.

        ugh. you make great points. i think we’re both on the same track here. i argue that although they may not need the imperative to act, they could certainly benefit from the added “bluster”, for lack of better terms.

        edit - or “muster”?
