@tchower I think it is something like snowball effect.
When I was younger without understanding the danger I went in a place anarchists occupied it while policemen were outside ready to arrest anyone.
I wasn't aware of the gang mentality of these people and somewhere inside the big building (university) although I wore full face mask - a fucker interogated me friendly through small friendly talk and when he understood I wasn't anarchist he suggested to leave the building the morning when police and secret police couldn't arrest me easily because the roads will be full of people and I could disappear.
I still remember this bitch ass cunning anarchist. My gut feeling warned me that something was wrong. Possibly he had concealed knife and the building was dark without lights because of the cameras outside.
Also when he found opportunity called and others anarchists and then I was in trouble. I remember when he saw other anarchists outside the room he called them in and his friendly voice changed. He told them I wasn't one of them and asked what they should do with me.
Then I understood the danger I put myself into. These people were looting and I wasn't one of them and outside were angry policemen to whom these fuckers had used a lot of molotovs against.
When the police were soft many people like me because of the adrenaline rush or maybe the looting joined these movements. But when police took them serious and arrested and put many of them in prison then this snowball effect stopped.
Possibly because of lack of punishment many young people join these movements like BLM just for fun.
