I remember on r/politics people were trying to say this movement was just a bunch of bots and not a real movement. They didn't believe me when i linked to their website and showed they have events. I was definitely talking with an activist.

They accuse their opponent of being inorganic, because they are inorganic.

Yes, but this is kind of special.

Obviously they are reading from The Rules for Radicals, where are you accuse your opponent of doing what you are already doing, to sow confusion.

But it gets kind of funny where these movements are concerned, because things like this, and like the Trump movement in general, are highly organic. To the point where they barely required an organizer, merely a "magnetic north."

Meanwhile, there are sextagenarian pornstars that are more organic than BLM.

This is them, knowing what an organic movement looks like, knowing it's not them, and it drives them crazy.

The post had been up for a while and i sorted by controversial and replied deep into comment chains so those comments weren't getting much attention.
