Black Bloc

A Black Bloc is a tactic used by some protesters who wear black clothing, masks, and hoods to maintain anonymity and unity during demonstrations. This anonymity helps protect their identities from authorities and media. Participants often coordinate their actions, sometimes including property damage or confrontations, to draw attention to causes like anti-government or anti-capitalist movements. While some see Black Bloc tactics as a way to challenge power structures, critics argue they can lead to violence. Overall, it’s a strategy that combines concealment and collective action to amplify protest messages and resist surveillance.
