Saw a Craigslist ad: “TOUGH, BRAVE MEN WANTED,” paying $6,500–$12,500 weekly—not for oil rigs or cartels, but for protests and riots. This isn’t activism, it’s paid chaos—a “rent-a-riot” gig. Who’s funding this? Billionaires? Shadow agencies? Real protest is sacred, but when anger’s for sale, authenticity dies. The Riot Economy is here: revolution as a side hustle, with hazard pay for broken noses. Who really wins? Not the people caught in the chaos.
