    I don’t think putting 70million people in concentration camps is going to go over well with the rest of the population.

      They don’t need to target everyone, just the people with the aptitude and inclination for leadership and organization.

      The goal wouldn’t be to arrest everyone who doesn’t like them, just to prevent that anger from leading to the creation of a real political opposition movement.

        A leader doesn’t seem necessary. The leaderless nonviolent resistance movement has been winning in the court of public opinion.

        But they can run around Tora Bora looking for the president of Antifa if they like.

          100%

          In some sense, they’re using modern technology to mass produce propaganda but the people actually directing things are still stuck in the 1900s mindset when regards to thinking about power.

          Communication Technology has made these kinds of diffuse movements possible, that’s why they’re trying desperately to create an ‘antifa’ to fight against. They want a conflict with a target that they can slander/attack and instead they’re just getting shit spontaneously from every possible angle.

          They’re fighting a 20th century battle with 21st century technology. Like Russia using armor to invade a country armed with Javelins.
