    I’ve spent enough time around wannabe revolutionaries to think most of those people are honest and really believe impeding some poor people from going to work will help make the masses adopt their cause.

    It does help their belief system that they and most of the people around them were convinced by some asshole doing something similar.

      They’re are always some true believers. Flat Earth used to be trolls until the OGs got bored and moved on leaving only the believers behind.

      The best astroturf is the one that starts growing on its own.
