Do you think this is an organically emerging phenomenon? I was thinking it was looking like an intentionally created marxist/commie/bolshevik/whatever you want to call it phenomenon.

Honestly, I don't know, and I'm not sure which is worse- the useful idiots from my circle of well-meaning liberal acquaintances, or an actual purposeful malicious plot. Just watch the evolution of BLM into "black trans lives matter" makes me crazy- I can't tell if this was a wedge put there by an outside force, or a result of people chasing more woke points by upping the ante/level of oppression.

I've been confounded by that, too. I think it's people chasing woke points. I have a friend on FB who is lesbian. Last year she was all about lesbian pride and in the last couple of months she's gone black trans lives matter. She's not black or trans. She's a lesbian! It's just nuts. A lesbian carrying water for men. Mind boggling.
