    This is nothing really. If people wanted war they would have strategy. It’s just pissed off people, not people with a plan.

    Watching the riot over the past few hours it looks like it’s just bored people with mob mentality.

      What do you think the people’s response should be to being black-bagged off the streets by people who don’t have badges, don’t wear uniforms, drive in unmarked vehicles and wear masks?

      This hasn’t even begun to get nasty, yet.

      how are they supposed to make a strategy? I mean I’m with you 100%, but normal people aren’t going to be able to create a war strategy without some sort of funding and support.

      I mean, strategy forms as you test the waters and see what response you get. The infancies of rebellions often aren’t the most strategic.

      This is arguably the most dangerous kind of war, at least for the elites and authoritarians. Angry people without a plan are unpredictable.
