I'll go you another theory: I was born and grew up in Northern Ireland during some of the worst violence. I moved when I was ~20 years old. It's been another few decades since then, and I can tell you this, the violence from the Far Left is scarily similar to the Northern Ireland situation in how they are ramping it up. They NEED division for their takeover to work, while we work for unity. The IRA/PIRA leaned very heavily into Marxism, and what happened there was akin to a Colour Revolution. As an aside, I'd like to remind everyone where most of their "donations" came from in the world: The United States of America. They were seduced into thinking they were giving to some noble "cause", when in actual fact they were funding good old Marxism. Thanks for that, I guess. Back on topic, I think the point I'm going for is that the parallels between the two might be worth a look at to get a better understanding of select chapters of their playbook.

Australia is now on the front lines of this Cultural War more or less alone, since New Zealand decided to bend the knee like cowards to the CCP elites.
