...the armed wing of the Democratic Party...and its more violent "black bloc" rioters with a style guide, complete with riot gear advice.
In their article, titled "What to Wear to Smash the State," the New York Times detailed the fashion of violent far-left rioters who enjoy "punching Nazis," before advising what to wear during violent protests and riots.

| “White people in general have difficulty recognizing people wearing black, assuming we are all involved in the theater.” |
In their article, the New York Times continued by giving "practical advice on how to dress for a riot."
"There is more practical advice on how to dress for a riot. One should decide on organic or synthetic gloves before participating in an action: Wool and cotton may allow chemical contaminants, like pepper spray, to absorb, while nylon can melt if you grab something hot, which historically has included some kinds of tear-gas canisters but can include various things on fire," they advised, before adding, "These defensive methods work only if there are enough black-clad others nearby. A single person in all black and multiple face masks is an eye grabber."
Finally, the Times claimed that dressing in black murderous Moslem gear and concealing your face forms an "emotional connection" with other rioters.
"Tactical considerations aside, it’s this emotional connection with other members of the bloc that many practitioners highlight the most in interviews," they proclaimed. "It’s why soldiers and police have uniforms."
