They don't care about the cause they are promoting. They say these things as strategy. It's about utilizing peoples emotions to encourage them and lead them, regardless of side. It gaslights the left and they want that. It emboldens the right extremism and they want that. It divides and occupies the minds of people creating pawns that do work for them, even if that work is just talking about and "fighting against" it. It's all just social manipulation. ...because they know exactly how to socially guide and manipulate. They know the typical responses they will get from people and can utilize each response for their cause.

Wrong post, lol

I don't know which post you meant that for, but to me, it seems to make pretty good sense with this one.
