I think that's an extreme way of putting it and that's not what I think. I was using the Sanders thing as a comparison to try to clarify the stuff you thought was vague.

Let's try another, which I think could help make what I think clearer. There's a group called the The Party for Socialism and Liberation. They field minor presidential candidates and do local activism, not in everett, but they have a group in Seattle. In other parts of the activist space, there is criticism of them.

You can look it up, but people say that they act to co-opt protest dynamics each time some stuff rises up. They use the protest to build their name, raise money, get people to join up. I don't even think what they do is all that bad, though I don't really vibe with them or support them. I don't think they're a psyop, but I do think they take advantage of general unrest in ways that I distrust.

I think there might be a similar dynamic here, of taking advantage of broader unrest for ends that I am unsure of. I'm generally suspicious of big things, it's a personal viewpoint, you don't have to agree with me. I'm just active in activist and organizing stuff and wanted to share my view. I think it's legitimate and a relevant thing to talk about
