It might be good to know who's behind it before cheering. I'm pretty sure there's a goal to get people in the US into a second civil war, not a revolution.

I'm veeeery skeptical of the "Soros Boogeyman" if that's what you're referring to. I've been to No Kings events. These are Grandma's and families. They aren't "paid globalist crisis actors" or whatever. And yes there are highly organized groups setting up monitoring operations of ICE. They're mostly supported by volunteer labor and donations. I know who these organizations are in my local area. Who do you think is trying to start a civil war? Maybe it's the armed forces invading American cities? How is that possibly proportional to any condition on the ground?

I'm not even going to pretend that I know who it is. Besides, they'd be dumb to stand in the light. This is just an observation after paying attention to actions, instead of words, since the 90's. I do remember seeing ads on CL to "pay to protest" Trump's first appointment to office, so paid "protestors" do exist. Just because average folks (grandparents, etc) are involved in an event doesn't mean it wasn't astro-turfed. In fact, unwitting rubes are required for it to work.
