Did Joker predict what was long time coming?

Now if anybody's ever seen that movie it revolves around a man basically with a lot of mental health issues. Throughout the movie he definitely talks about how Society is just falling apart and just becoming more and more uncivilized. And spoilers for those who haven't seen it.

At the end of the movie basically he kills 3 Wall Street people in defense and it starts a movement of people wearing clown masks. And like he ends up becoming the Joker because he ends up shooting a TV host live on TV. Basically at the end of the movie it's just everybody who is I guess oppressed and you know unemployment, skin color all becoming really fed up with their current state.



He was right. No one is civilized anymore.

But point of what the system has done to cause this. Oppression of the poor, oppression of the minority. It's just scary how much movies can be almost accurate. I keep thinking of this movie and I keep thinking how we as a society is falling apart.

That is what Agent Provocateurs do, they infiltrate protest groups or create their own and gain followers on social media. They have been playing the long game for quite some time. The Russians did not pack up their computers and go home after the election, they ramped up their disinformation campaign bent on tearing this country apart from the inside.

This is a non-linear warfare, Hybrid Warfare, they have a coordinated online attack system that sows disinformation and foments anger using psychological warfare techniques. They also have boots on the ground, whether they are groups they have infiltrated, or groups they are in contact with that they have manipulated via social media.

They are not only Russian, they are racist and pro Trump groups as well. I would not be surprised though if the Russians have infiltrated those groups online activities for their own benefit.

The Russians have infiltrated lots of American groups to manipulate as they see fit.

I'll list links to my sources. This is just a tiny fraction of the information out there.
