The one issue in this example that runs counter to the comparison is who is trying to disrupt the Met Gala.
Many of the people trying to disrupt the Met Gala are part of the ruling class elite, rich spoiled brats who have ben brainwashed into believing things like “Queers for Palestine” is logical or that “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free” isn’t an expression of genocide.
The Ruling class elites have created a subculture of their peers that is now trying to destroy them.
A fairer representation would be a bunch of laid off factory workers from the Midwest or disgruntled former military enlisted men who were maimed in the pointless wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, basically any American who has been screwed over and shoved into a lower class of living.
They need the foot soldiers to intimidate the opposition. It was an effective tactic in 2020. Now you do not see us organizing that much, do you?
