Another protest march is set for Oct 10.
Beneath the facade of a peaceful march, the organizers will repeatedly urge "keep the peace", a calculated ploy to wash their hands of the upcoming chaos. Behind the scenes, the protest will be infiltrated by the usual violent groups, many wearing school backpacks to pass as innocent students. Their objective is to provoke law enforcement by attacking officers, baiting the police into using necessary force. With cameras strategically positioned, they will weaponize the footage to stage a narrative of "state brutality against students" to outrage the public.
By that same evening, a coordinated tweetstorm featuring celebrities and influencers will leverage those exact photos and videos to turn common youth against the state, turn "state oppressing students" into a pop culture trend, and generate widespread support to pressure the govt into yielding, yet again.
This isn't looking good. The govt must handle this head-on. The meeker you act, the more empowered the regime-change machine becomes. At some point, you have to put your foot down and deal with it instead of just playing the "expose" game, which has lost its value now.
Whatever issues people may have with the govt's performance, only common citizens through the ballot have the right to overthrow an elected govt, not a few thousand compulsive protesters in the streets. Their motives, methods and motivation must be squashed once and for all.
