A BLM "Observation" from Douglas Murray

In the video, Sasha Johnson was dressed in Black Panther-esque mock paramilitary garb, which Murray surmised was an attempt to look like a “militia leader”, concluding that she wants her followers to “look like hard, trained troops ready to take on the establishment and the police”.

“I think that this is, to a great extent, play-acting,” Murray said.

“She’s play-acting revolutionaryism… Everything about the way she presents herself and the way she and her friends speak and present themselves is as people who want to play-act as revolutionaries.”

The Madness of Crowds author went on to mockingly describe the “young white woman standing to the left of our revolutionary Che Guevara guerrilla leader”.

He said that the young woman “looks ever so slightly nervous when her militia leader invites everyone to do the Black Power salute. This sort of young, white, ginger-haired girl for a moment has a flicker in her eyes that maybe I’ve fallen in with the wrong crowd that my mummy warned me about.”

He went on to warn that though the figures in the viral video may be play-acting, “there are always some who are willing to take the play-acting a stage further and I hope that the radical left in the UK, which has many supporters in the Labour Party among other places, remember that when they lie about this country… they ought to remember that there are people like this radicalised young woman who do seem to want to push things to the next level.”
