Like a lot of things, Alinsky was passed around on the internet and a lot of people became aware of it but more never saw it. You can't pass it around enough. Alinsky wrote down the rules for childish bullying. It's impossible not to see the behaviour of the communist progressives in that tract. The idiots that obey alinskys rules and behave that way believe that because it was written down in a book, that they will get what they want. For them there can't be negative consequences to bullying because it's acceptable to their own authority figures. Permission to be a cunt.
