That ad may have been a fake but there ARE paid activists - and most (if not all) are liberals, employed by Dem/Soros backed shill organizations. Project Veritas caught that admission on tape a while back. If nobody who was not paid showed up to a protest .. there would still be a core group protesting. They are paid to get YOU to show up and look as much like idiots as they do and they are paid to have you share the blame if .. oops, we didn't mean to loot that store or beat that guy up .. something untoward just 'happens' to occur. They don't even care about the cause most likely, even if you do. You get no compensation .. but they do .. and they get legal and medical assistance too while you won't. Don't you just love 'social justice'.
The prevalence of fake news means that none of us can ever believe anything anyone says, much less anything the media spouts. Or perhaps it means we can believe whatever the heck we want to - and no one can prove or disprove it. Discussion becomes moot .. conversation, a waste of time. Education therefore means nothing either. If you are attending school, you can tell me that you are learning to think critically but it can't be true if nothing is true or false or verifiable as either. Those of you paying outrageous sums for college .. how do you feel about that? Are we all enjoying living in the new post-rational age?
