Reddit mentions of Politics and Rhetoric

My claim that it's not antifa? I'm basing that on the context of the video, what the video shows and doesn't show. There's a whole post where I break down all the discrepancies that I'd recommend reading, considering it's the start of this comment chain. If you'd like to respond to those discrepancies, we can discuss those.

You, like so many others, let your belief guide you into believing antifa was actually shown in the video. I propose that is simply not true. It's called acting for a reason - it's Manipulation 101. These actors know what you think of antifa, therefore they know how to portray a convincing fake. You think they are violent, so they pretend to be violent. You think they are secretive and work undercover, so they pretend to be secretive and work undercover. The act was so convincing that you would rather lecture me on how to identify social groups rather than analyze the manipulation in the editing and the details. You fell for their acting exactly like they wanted you to, and now you're defending it for them. It's honestly impressive how effective it was.

Also, nothing against you, but recommending a 600-page book on reddit is probably the worst way to address people. Literally no one will ever read a book from a suggestion they didn't ask for. Also, assuming I'm unlearned or lacking in knowledge is beyond condescending and insulting to my intelligence. Said another way... "I recommend you read books on manipulative rhetoric - This book is a good start."
