I agree that the "moment" they have constructed is absurd - but I'd hardly call that "weaponization."
More like "highlighting."

It amuses me to no end that they somehow see their inflatable costumes and flung tools of depravity as somehow “savagely victorious protests”.
It’s a psycho-drama in a psycho-circus filled with psychos.
It’s as if Fellini is directing their demonstrations.
