It does seem probable that some of these websites have been created by the same group. However, you can't go on to extrapolate that all the people protesting the lockdowns are sheep that have been manipulated into doing so by some nefarious mastermind. The people are tired of being told they can't leave their homes, go to work, go to church, or congregate when the same rules do not seem to apply to the police or those in government.

I browsed some of the threads on reddit about the protests (not this one, but on /r/politics and similar) and it seems apparent to me that those are being heavily astroturfed. Top comments saying that the protesters are pieces of shit, they and their families deserve to die of COVID, and that their rights don't matter in an "emergency". Add the Raleigh, NC police stating that "Protesting is not an essential activity" and the means of our oppression becomes apparent.

Well said. I often create multiple posts if I want something to spread. It's likely someone who really wanted this made multiple facebook groups. At the end of the day, it's just the same thing as crossposting on reddit
