These protests really do want fascism to come back, dont they?
I think they actually deep down, desire oppression and being on the
losing side. IF they can provoke the system enough, it will crack down
on them.
Leftists are self-hating masochists, and I'm sure they find meaning in
life from being the kicked underdog.

In the confrontation, nine British soldiers shot several in a
crowd, estimated between 300 and 400, who were harassing them
verbally and throwing various projectiles. The event was
subsequently described as "a massacre" by Samuel Adams, Paul
Revere, and other leading Patriots who later became central
proponents of independence during the American Revolution and
Revolutionary War. British troops had been stationed in the
Province of Massachusetts Bay since 1768 in order to support
Crown-appointed officials and to enforce unpopular legislation
implemented by the British Parliament.
Amid tense relations between the civilians and the soldiers, a
mob formed around a British sentry and verbally abused him. He
was eventually supported by seven additional soldiers, led by
Captain Thomas Preston, who were hit by clubs, stones, and
snowballs. Eventually, one soldier fired, prompting the others to
fire without an order by Preston. The gunfire instantly killed
three people and wounded eight others, two of whom later died of
their wounds.
The crowd eventually dispersed after acting governor Thomas
Hutchinson promised an inquiry, but they reformed the next day,
prompting the withdrawal of the troops to Castle Island. Eight
soldiers, one officer, and four civilians were arrested and
charged with murder, and they were defended in court by attorney,
and future U.S. president, John Adams. Six of the soldiers were
acquitted; the other two were convicted of manslaughter and given
reduced sentences of branding on the thumb.
