Just gonna leave that there. Search for “2014 Maidan coup” for example, or “Bernie” or “blue MAGA.” Or “Taiwan.”
No idea what this guy’s talking about in this instance, it makes about as much sense as the very notable coincidental confluence of other stuff he likes to talk about. But as pertains to this case, all the leaked operations where people found out what the feds were up to were roughly 0% “let’s promote anarchism and infiltrate the ranks because that will discredit the left” and roughly 100% “let’s keep tabs on the left indiscriminately, in case we have to shoot them or throw them in prison.”
Periodically, they would try to promote infighting or discredit some notable leader, but it was mostly that second thing. They don’t have to be all 5d chess about it, they have guns and prisons.
Is that what it is? I have been generally baffled by the dishonest accounts that tend to say both “yay Russia” and “yay China” sort of with equal fervor, alongside a random little rogue’s gallery of other bizarre takes of which this is an example. I genuinely considered whether the strategy was just to be wrong about everything for some reason I can’t understand.
@surph_ninja@lemmy.world where do you get this stuff? Like what news do you read / who do you listen to that tells you that this all is how it works? I want to read more.
So-called “colour revolutions” are an invention of infamous conspiracy theorist, and perennial presidential candidate, Lyndon LaRouche. There’s a good (quite long) video on this topic here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OFyn_KSy80 which is the fourth in a series about the Ukraine war.

This is what LaRouchism does to a MFer’s brain.
