So if their agenda is hidden,  how does marching in an Invasion Day protest help them to advance it? How would people watchng the  march be made aware that some of the marchers were not  really supporting it at all, but promoting  a hidden agenda that had nothig to do woth the protest? And if they weren't aware, then what on earth was the point of the exercise?


Some groups hijack protests to arouse anger and aggression. That is their agenda. The violent activists who stormed Capitol Hill and killed people didn't do it for honourable reasons, they did it because it was an opportunity. They get off on it. The point to the exercise was probably to experience pleasure from their actions. It doesn't have to make sense to us. It only has to make sense to them - that is what is frightening.
