When I was younger, anarchists (yes, anarchists) always explained away any violence at anarchist protest marches by claiming that the violent protesters must be undercover cops or fascist provocateurs.
It just struck me that people on the Alt Right explain away the rank stupidity of many AR influencers in the same way. They must be Deep State operatives, "ticket takers" or whatever.
Now, I don´t deny that there are many agents and provocateurs out there. On the Internet, we call them "trolls". Or even "influencers", LOL. But here´s the question nobody on the fringes seems to be asking: *why is it so damn easy to stage provocations against anarchists or Alt Right keybord warriors*?
The answer is obvious: most of the former actually are violence-prone, and many of the latter do cater to stupid people...
But sure, they are all part of the Spectacle.
