     The term "outside agitator" feels like it comes straight from the police jargon. It's a term to help manufacture consent of the people when, not if, the police crack down on protesters. It is a form of dehumanization against people rebelling against the status quo.

     Language itself becomes a battlefield when fighting for change. Even if it's a very valid request from the people to stop using my tax dollars to fund a genocide.
