On this kind of stuff, I look to Scott Adams for a little perspective. I think Adams would say about this Blow idiot that you are looking at a hallucination in order to hold on to a world view. Part of a mass hysteria.
Not unlike the hard right with their "Obama is intentionally destroying the US because he hates it" bullshit. Sorry, but I have never bought in to that crap. Inept? Yeah. Tool? Sure. Globalist? OK. America hater? Whatever. Go away. You have to infer a ridiculous amount of manipulative genius to him and TPTB to arrive at that conclusion, and you are more likely having a hallucination yourself.
Having said that, I don't doubt that they could start a civil war with this shit. People can get awfully radical defending a world view so they don't have to change it.
Agreed completely.
Scott is right on this stuff. But, what's important is not that Blow is caught in the mass hysteria bubble it's that this article was a clear signal to Antifa that any advancement of non-whacked-out Marxist ideas are an excuse for warfare.
That's where we are. And the NYT is aiding and abetting this.
I'm telling you, Trump is going to jail some of these guys, just like the Left's Deity, Lincoln.
