When I got my M.A. some years ago, I had to take a course on Latin American culture and specifically chose Peru to do the study. What I found was absolutely stunning. A former professor, Abimael Guzman, had started terrorist group, The Sendero Luminoso, with students and built it into an efficient, ruthless killing machine in a bid to take over the country. One woman who was trying to persuade people to NOT follow him was grabbed by his goons, dragged into the center of town where she lived, and strapped with dynamite. The villagers were told if they kept listening to people like her the same thing was going to happen to them that was about to happen to her. They lit a fuse and blew her to pieces.
The war between the government and this group was horrific. Finally, Alberto Fujimoro (born in Peru to Japanese parents) took control and crushed the rebellion. He would pay later when others who hated his tactics ended up getting him convicted for supposed crimes. You can read about him on the internet. His methodology worked. He stopped a VERY ruthless terrorist group from taking over the country.
We are facing a revolution (not protests) started by academia. I don't know what group is directing all of this, but it IS a coordinated effort. They are using the "useful idiot" students and poor minorities (who just want to steal something) to effect their plan. Thus, you see the mixture of young people at the riots. To repeat, this is NOT protesting, it is the beginning of an attempted revolution. I would surmise that some members of the Democrat Party are behind it and may have brought members of academia into the group in a bid for a total takeover. Unless the government (which has been infiltrated by those who support this movement) stops this with an iron fist, we are only seeing the beginning of this.
and molotov tossing lawyers...
I believe a major problem in our country is the public school Leftist indoctrination that has replaced education in K-12. Yet we have done nothing.
Public schools are free daycare (Ok, we pay taxes for them but ...)
Under 40’s are mostly commie now.
But hey, their moms didn’t actually have to raise them or anything.
Public employee pension funds are sitting on trillions of dollars.
For the last 40 years public, and some private, schools have been teaching that America is an oppressor nation. Personal responsibility has not been stressed.
Moms often can’t even make breakfast for their offspring.
I don't mean public skool distance learning, but REAL homeschoolers?
The long march through the institutions began with the universities over 100 years ago.
it then filtered down to the teaching colleges.
You won’t find any teachers under 60 now that weren’t taught that we were an illegitimate nation founded on genocide.
Those teaching our teachers are straight up commies now.
As are any kiddos under 40 unless particularly special circumstances have extracted them from the public/private commiepalooza school system.
These riots have taught me that most under 30’s would kill me for my skin color alone.
You’re not kidding.
When the shutdown began you’d be shocked how many of the 30 something moms we know didn’t have ANY food in the house.
EVERYthing was drive thru.
(where do they get the money?!)
I wonder how many of ANTIFA are universary staff Bernie Bros.
Yep, you nailed it. And to fix it is going to require bloodshed.
They have openly declared war on America, it truly is unbelievable.

Also that.
(she’s backtracking this morning)
‘They’ are our kids and grandkids.
When the time comes, they will happily kill us for a ‘better world’ they believe our presence prevents.
Oh no, believe it. It is NOT going to go away overnight, nor for YEARS. This is the beginning of a total takeover attempt.
I first became aware of warnings about this ca. 1995. Back then, mainstream conservatives dismissed it NWO black helicopter John Birch crackpot conspiracy theory. From the same timeframe as Limbaugh's "Kook Test".

I don’t know about universities. But I was an urban public school teacher for many years. Please permit me to make a few points.
1) In the old days (before around the year 2000) we were permitted to choose our own textbooks, and our own curricula. A committee would meet that would choose those things. Those committees were fairly balanced. I was on many of them. We usually picked traditional course material.
Those days are gone. Now we are forced to teach things that are literally insane. This new material is forced upon us by “educational consultants” hired by the school board. Very few teachers like the new stuff. But if you deviate from the curriculum, you can - and will - be fired for not being “loyal”. Yes, they use that word.
So what do teachers do? We try to minimize the bad stuff, and sneak in the good stuff.
2) Yes, teacher unions are very liberal. But that only applies to the leadership. The rank-and-file pretty much represent a cross-section of the country. So how does the liberal leadership stay in power? I could tell you stories that would make Stalin blush.
As a current graduate student (whose degree is on hold), I can back you up 100%.
The faculty of my university is almost line-and-block Democratic Socialist. SJW buzzwords are in the syllabi of nearly every course. Twice I went toe-to-toe with instructors who demanded I bow to The Agenda, and won both times.
I will not trust anyone under thirty.
