After the shooting of Renee Good, before there had even been any rioting of note (to date, there barely even has been compared to 2020 - which is pretty remarkable!), Tim Walz gave the game away by immediately saying he'd call in the national guard. The goal here is to create chaos, get reactions, and then use those reactions (to state violence) as a pretext for even more state violence. What occurs in the lead-up to this is all acceptable to the state, because it frightens workers, suppresses dissent (see Mahmoud Khalil, Ozturk, Leqaa Kordia, Badar Khan Suri, and others, also
>>488052 ), frightens
the untermensch (vidrel), and scares migrant workers particularly into silence and complicity (see Kilmar Abrego Garcia and others detained, terrorized, or deported illegally) since they exist as the most coerced and exploitable subset of the working class.
The big game here, though, is to set up a bigger, even less accountable police/surveillance state. This has been the purpose of the DHS since it was created under Bush. The US is planning for WWIII, and the cop cities, ramping up of ICE terror, censorship, and new "detainment facilities" are all part of that, and will be employed against Iranians/Chinese/whoever when the US's war scheming becomes undeniable. For the record, it is useless to tell people "don't fall for the bait," because eventually someone will fight back as a matter of course. Even if they didn't, the lack of any superficial pretext for escalation would not stop the terror from continuing. The best thing to do is to arm and prepare and organize rather than to try and scold people we have no control over for resisting.
