Don't Be Fooled: The Cause Is Never the Cause

What do pro-Hamas fanatics, anti-ICE rioters, and climate change activists have in common? That's a question a lot of Americans are asking as they see left-wing violence escalating across the country. No matter what the stated cause is, all of these protests and riots look the same. The people participating in them look the same. The messaging on the signs reads the same. The tactics being deployed are the same. 

Take this video as a starting point. 

Do you see the seamless mixing of issues? What does Mexico have to do with Gaza and a "global intifada?" On the surface, the answer is nothing, but that changes when you stop assuming that these various stated causes actually mean anything. 

There's nothing more that Democrats and their radical base would like to convince the American people of than the idea that they are sincere in their beliefs, working toward a better world for everyone. In their telling, they truly cared about George Floyd, they remain deeply concerned about the planet supposedly spontaneously combusting, and certainly, they oppose immigration enforcement out of genuine empathy. Greta Thunberg shifted from finger-wagging over fossil fuels to simping for Hamas overnight because she's just that much of a humanitarian.

Nothing could be further from the truth, though. All the things listed above are causes of convenience. They are facades meant to mask the real reason the left is rampaging. One day it's climate change, the next it's Gaza, and the next it's ICE. What the cause happens to be at any given moment isn't important because the cause is never the cause. It's just a means to an end. 

Consider the question posed below. 

What do left-wingers mean when they spray-paint "penetrate all borders" on the walls of buildings? They mean they want to tear down the foundations of Western civilization and establish a global Marxist order. How they get there doesn't matter, and whatever opportunity arises to cause chaos and anarchy against the "system" will be seized. That's why these "protesters" always look the same, chant variations of the same slogans, and commit the same violent actions. 

It's all the same movement, and it doesn't matter how illogical things become. It's objectively moronic to suggest that Mexicans who came out of the Spanish empire have some kind of birthrate claim to Los Angeles because a few thousand of them tried to colonize the area before the United States purchased it in 1848. Leftism isn't built on the pillars of reality, though. It will twist what it has to twist to push its narrative. The rest is irrelevant. 

Why is all this important? It's important because if you don't understand your opposition, you will underestimate them. These aren't isolated protest movements centered on localized events, birthed out of real concern. This is a coordinated, slow-burning Marxist revolution that has many masks but the same face. The goal is total domination along with the destruction of your way of life. No one should take that threat lightly.
