> serious, organized war-like violence

This works. Disciplined, organized violence. Lone wolves shooting at homes and gunning down healthcare middle managers does not.

It’s deeply precedented.

Yes, but that later stuff can't happen without destabilization, and that's what this kind of thing does.

>It’s deeply precedented.

Ah, we are confused about what we mean. You mean that workers, activists etc. will be killed. I mean that their killing is oppression, whereas the killing of non-grassroots supported people at the top of power pyramids, isn't.

But that isn't the point: you are in fact right, I am right too, but the thing I want to say is: the oppression of workers, activists, journalists etc. that might be triggered by the destabilizing violence is necessary in order to get the reaction.

When a person who understands destabilization does it, he of course wants to trigger this oppression, and for that oppression to trigger the organized war-like stuff.
