I'm not sure the blog post you linked to reached any conclusions. It merely observed that not all of the hundreds of thousands of protestors are all of the same mind and political ideology. It would be pretty shocking if that were not the case. It ended wondering what would happen next, not declaring what would. Mass movements are unpredictable. So is life.

You chose one line out of context from the original article to highlight a "dog whistle to the right" in support of a dictatorship while the rest of the article is an impassioned plea for human rights.

Any time there's a mass movement, many different people will try to co-opt it. It doesn't mean that you should avoid supporting the movement. It means that it is very important to vocally support the parts of it that you do agree with, so that the parts you don't remain on the fringes.

Acting like the whole movement is suspect because of a few strikes me as very counter-productive.

I'm not intending to say that the whole movement is suspect; more that I'm wary of the particular linked blog post's analysis of the movement and what its aims are / should be.
