Civil Unrest.

The OP was intended to point out that civil unrest is being used as a tool to undermine the current system and the Constitution (alluding to the fact that these methods are utilizing marxist and maoist tactics). The link shows all kinds protests but one can use it to be aware of potential protests that may get out of hand/aka become potentially violent. In as much as the founders are concerned you are correct; hence the historical phrase "rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God" being properly understood that true tyranny is an affront to the Almighty in it's seeking to usurp divine authority/natural law.

One thing I've noticed is the uptick in leftist rhetoric claiming that the US is or has become a "failed state" because of Trump, his handling of the Coronavirus, or whatever excuse they want to project blame on while ignoring their own complicit behaviors, policies, etc. (but that's typical of American leftists). I've been doing different searches just cause I'm curious and would like to gauge what's going on, what's being said or projected, etc. Most of the results I've found that blame Trump are from the following... New York Magazine, Salon, The Atlantic, Al Jazeera, & more, a couple dating from 2017 but most are this year since March with others two weeks ago. Now I'm not promoting the groups, organizations, think tanks, companies, politics or schools behind the links, white papers, articles, etc. I am merely posting them as a means of information to be processed and analyzed for a warning, for enrichment & understanding, and as a foresight, looking long term both cause and effect. What can we glean both from what we agree with, already understand, and know, but also from our enemy or adversary – this combination of understood perspectives and vantage points give us a better ability to make better overall decisions. The more you know... An example would be to read Saul Alinksy, The Invisible Committee, Antonio Gramsci, Marx, and Mao's writings so you understand and recognize those who are using his writings as strategy and a playbook. However don't neglect the things from your side or group as a counterbalance so you don't get persuaded away from your core principles. I don't agree with the following link but I can grasp the motives, plans, and underlying ideology and motivation of my adversary. While it focuses on design and innovation; the authors use certain words, phrases etc and they jump out as odd or can be understood to be applicable to other areas... The pdf opens up with a quote from Mao... what does that have to do with design? Could't the authors have chosen someone else... of course they could have but one must assume that Mao was chosen on purpose to drive the narrative or agenda. Leftism has permeated if not oversaturated many aspects of our culture. Advocating for guerrilla design/innovation in the marketplace is nothing new, but they specifically mentioning sidestepping the competition via insurgent tactics. I get it, that's fine but why only use leftist tactics, the other person mentioned was T.E. Lawrence aka Lawrence of Arabia. With a wealth of other tacticians that used unconventional methods, why only these? Is it because of the permeation of leftism in higher education? Possibly... but I digress. This type of thing is all over the place and I've been noticing it more over the past decade and even more so the past five years. The keywords or buzzwords rampant through this link are by design. The following quotations from the pdf are provided without emphasis–other than italics.

"Innovation is really only interesting and important when it is disruptive. Disruptive innovation makes it impossible for existing players to compete on their own terms. We believe that tactically and strategically, disruptive innovation is a form of design that resembles the behaviors of political and military insurgency. The behavior is not primarily rhetorical, but rather seeks to create new technical obstacles to the regime of business as usual, destabilizing incumbents rather than competing with them." "Advocacy for design thinking over the past decade has opened up new strategic vistas for design across business, government, and society." "Before we can consider innovation as insurgency, we need a brief account of the dynamics of insurgency, a term that we will use broadly to include insurrections, rebellions, guerrilla warfare, and so-called “small wars.” Whereas conventional warfare occurs between nation states or coalitions of nation states, insurgency is a weapon of protest employed against a ruling government or invading power perceived as illegitimate by the insurgents. There is a fundamental asymmetry between insurgents, who challenge the prevailing power structure, and counterinsurgents, who seek to conserve the existing power structure. Counterinsurgents begin the conflict with an asymmetric material advantage: more funding, advanced technology, better equipment, better training, and better organization. Because insurgents begin as outsiders of the existing power structure, they are materially weak, but compensate for this with an asymmetry in will: grievances against an illegitimate power provide increased motivation to fight and endure hardship."
