The names change but the tactics and human motivation remain the same.

From reichstag fired up? by El Gato Malo.  The subheading is big-hobgoblin: menacing the population for power and profit

He references the following passage from a conversation between Herman Göring and Gustave Gilbert, and American psychologist involved in the Nuremberg trials and who extensively interviewed the Nazi leadership.  

Göring: Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.

Gilbert: There is one difference. In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars.

Göring: Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.

We are constantly assailed with movements predicated on existential threats which are not real in the way that they are presented.  Each has some small nugget of truth at its core which is then vastly inflated as part of schemes to raise money or gain power over citizens.  All of them end up collapsing, sometimes in months, sometimes in decades, because their headline claims simply are not true.

Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) - Humans are a menace to the globe

Occupy Wall Street (OWS) - Capitalism is evil

Black Lives Matter (BLM) - Society is evil and violently racist

MeToo! - Men are evil and responsible for rape culture

Trans Movement - Society is evil and withholding treatment of children

Pro-Hamas Protests - The west is evil and genocidal.  

All such movements hearken back to the moral clarity of the Civil Rights movement nearly sixty years ago, but with coercive heart and a dismissive disregard for the values and interests of citizens.

And there is always the question of who is funding these well organized groups.  Their titular issues vary but their actions and chants and strategies are markedly similar.  They come out of nowhere, bloom in the legacy media and in academia, show up with mass produced signs in carefully staged protests with solidarity chants through officially issued bull horns, with similar crowd control tactics and with pre-arranged tent cities.  They are manufactured threats intended, as Göring indicates, to manipulate citizens.

But because the nation is made up of reasonably strong and sensible people, most such movements pass from the headlines, often devolving into a welter of factionalism, ethics issues, economic venality, and criminal charges.

But who keeps ginning them up in the first place?  Who keeps funding them?  It is easy to see what is happening after all this time.  It is not easy to see why the preening legacy mainstream media is so incurious as to what they might find were they to actually investigate.
