Remember how I mentioned that a lot of the violence over the summer was right wing? Well more proof that it was in fact just that. Now, from all I heard from friends etc, I think it was more complex than that. There were definitely more white supremacists in MN than other cites. There were some doing false flag attacks like this, and others just stoking reactions. In some cities (NYC, possibly LA) organized looting happened. Police made sure to allow those to continue untouched, as it played into their narrative (hard to know how much was just letting them be, or cops probably telling their informants to go out and loot, or even cops themselves doing it through undercover—still more likely than a Soros lead rebellion that the right tried to peddle). There were probably instances of people fighting back, after all, cops were shooting medics and everyone they could see, so some reaction is natural, but that's my breakdown. Now percentages is where people would make their bread, but as you can see from the rest of the internet, it's all about screaming that "there were no outsiders" (something I heard form the left, thinking this was a critique much like the one against the civil rights movement in the 60s (it wasn't, it was specifically against some of the violence, not the movement itself) or that the entire thing was a Soros led movement (I mean I only mention the right's fevered dreams because they have power). So it goes, my friends. 

And I know what you're saying: since when does being right have anything to do with being. Times columnist? You're right. It's almost all a fucking troll and playing up to the powers that be.
