The Jan 6th temper tantrum was instigated as a response to the BLM and other Covid-era protests. The owner class was getting nervous about the working class protesting about things that matter, so they riled up some of their disposable morons to storm the Capital as a way to discredit direct action. And we're already seeing the effects; whether it's a labor strike or a student sit-in, we're told by centrists to "protest peacefully" and not inconvenience anyone, aka don't protest.
BLM was taken by state actors if not outright organized by them just like jan6 idiots.
BLM era protests got too hot for the government tho, so deff got spooked
Occupy wall street was the protest that really spooked the ruling class.
It took them forever to derail that one and they learned a lot from it. We have been in outright class war ever since and most people don't even know since they are busy fighting culture war
