FRONT LINE AGENTS FOR THE PLANNED CONVERSION STORM
Ben said,
"Like some actors, these people are just narcissists wanting attention, and they should study up on the countries of some of their competitors."
No, these people are actually front-line agents for their planned Conversion Storm, so don't dismiss them so charitably.
The designed strategy is for these agents to create as much confusion and discontent as they can so people will not know which side they prefer. At that point, change, any change, especially toward the well-prepared and highly polished Communist option, will seem like a fresh breeze after a heat wave.
Narcissism may play a role, but becoming a Commissar or Gauleiter or Block Captain or any position above Proletarian is what they're after.
I think the really rich ones are vying for Emperorhood.
