A spoiler is contained in the following reference.

This reminds me of Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex: 2nd Gig, wherein a single actor causes an AI to rotate military forces within a refugee area, with the explicit intention of increasing anti-police sentiment among refugees.

The world is a stage and, without proper leadership, crowds will behave in ways they believe are allowed within the hard constraints of the social order. This is at the core of the BLM movement, and a pillar of the Occupy movement: police must not view themselves as separate from the policed. For cybernetic reasons as well as pathos ones. Otherwise, from the perspective of the social order, the distinction between the two is error.

You missed the even deeper point of Ghost in the Shell: The standalone complex.

The original commentator described a standalone complex. Copy cats without an original.

I actually did not miss this, I simply did not have the space to say it, nor was it relevant to the point I was making.

It is strange to tell someone you have likely never met that they have missed something, based on very little information provided to you. This might be a sign of a cognitive impairment on your part, or perhaps a broken worldview. I don't have time to discuss either of these points, but it may be helpful for you to consider why you believe you can "read the minds" of people over the Internet.

I didn't mean it like that. I meant it like "you missed this parallel with the post in question" not "you missed this concept entirely".

So back at ya with the mind reading.
