Thats everyday in California

Edit: Come to think of it I don't think I ever heard of violent antifa protests before the last couple of years. I remember being in Oakland like 5 years ago and accidentally wandering through a very black rally.

I don't think anyone even notice my pastiness walking through

Edit Edit: I've still never seen an antifa in person. They only come out of the woodwork to make a scene when theres some opposition. I boned a girl who said she was a communist once though.

I love this pic. It reminds me of a story I have been debating telling in here. It involves me coming as close to getting completely beat into a little wet spot yet managing to walk away untouched as you can imagine.

About your post, recall that the Proud Boys appear to have founded themselves on the premise of going out and picking fights with Antifa. It's like when you encounter idiots who are new to the WR or to a particular topic who spout the same nonsense you've refuted a hundred times before and instead of doing it again you take a shit on them only to be told you don't even try to reason or present evidence. I think for Antifa members, after having either been attacked by these white nationalists or seen them initiate violence against other people repeatedly, they are now prone to strike pre-emptively and the context of their apparently out of hand engagement is lost. Should they wait for more of these meal team six types to show up first and become set upon in the dark, for example?

I'm not at all sober so I would need to reread this post tomorrow to be sure if it comes off correctly or not, so regardless consider this a disclaimer to the effect of no offense intended. It occurs to me that if they monitored/infiltrated each others' social media feeds it would be possible for them to be very targeted in their appearances. They all seem to advertise where they are going to be so more people will go. It isn't all that difficult for their counterparts to go and confront them and no one would ever see them elsewhere.

It's all very dangerous, of course. This kind of thing could easily keep escalating. I noticed in the video that the attackers were really well geared up and had overwhelming numbers. Perhaps that's not an accident. They didn't go up against a bunch of weekend warriors/ex-military like the guy with the zip ties inside the Capitol. Perhaps it's because they wanted a crushing victory because they're employing tactics and strategizing. The veneer of incidental clashes appears to have been stripped away completely by Trump's sedition and what happened at the Capitol. And thus we arrive back at your pic, which is now quite apropos for any of our American friends.

This feels like one of those "mark my words" moments. Seeing how people mostly just walked away from the Capitol after the breach, the more extreme Antifa members are likely to be emboldened on the assumption they don't deserve to be treated any worse than the MAGA terrorists.

I am not a religious person, but if hell exists, there is surely a very special vegan food only place set aside for one Donald J Trump, where no one laughs at his jokes, they keep booking him for public events to which no one shows up, no one strokes his ego, and people tell him he is dumb and a bad person without relent until the end of the age of man.

Re: the above, it's true the MAGA shitheels have been utterly defeated at this point and little is left to them but ineffectually looking to their leader for attention and solace while all they get back is the disdain and contempt that's been evident to everyone else for 5 years now. So, perhaps it's hitting down a bit to use their own tactics against them to ruin their pity party, but they had no such remorse when instigating violence against peaceful protesters in the wake of the George Floyd killing. So I regret nothing.
 
Glad you find it funny
Oh, man. That one was really high on my list of people I wanted to see gone from here. I don't think I can take any credit for this one whatsoever, but I still marched right out and smoked a fucking joint the moment I learned the news. There are many people on my ignore list who are now banned. Because if I ignore you, you typically aren't worth a fuck. But then, there are these certain users I find really awful but will never place on ignore, because then I might not notice if they're banned. He was at the absolute top of that list. His every post was total fucking trash. He made Larry look good in comparison. Just a complete waste of my time having to scroll past his shitposts.

Good riddance. Here's hoping it is permanent.
 
Thats a lot to respond to so I'll just keep it short. I understand the aspirational goal of being anti-fascist. However history is written by the victors. There is no monolithic enemy for Antifa to take down. No one will ever remember 2020 antifa as being some beneficial freedom fighting force like say the french partisans of WW2. Antifa and the riots that accompanied BLM protests do far more damage to their cause then they forward. A made up poll would probably say 5% support antifa and yet they truly believe in their cause.

When the election results were slowly trickling in I phoned a fellow liberal friend and said "The riots from the BLM protests probably cost us the election." Probably the worst PR you can possibly have heading into an election.

They were mobs, they were wanton destruction, they were pure chaos. But we all knew that they would end and a day later life would resume. I got alot of construction work coming out of it so, yay? Almost had a million dollar remodel because of it but alas the bid went elsewhere.

Long story short, I would compare Antifa's planning to the kids who draw anarchy logos on their school desks. Its cool when you are full of teen angst, but by your early 20's you really should have moved on.

Refreshed for likes but....

I agree, and I don't think I suggested there was any monolithic entity to speak of. But smaller numbers can still form cells that are increasingly effective with time. The people in that video were very well prepared and executed their attack in an organized manner.

And I think most of the violence and property damage was likely instigated by agent-provocateurs. So, I wouldn't say BLM's protests were costly, rather that the way they were co-opted was costly--if my current understanding of the general course of events matches reality, that is.
 
If we are both referring to the antifa people spraying bear mace on 4 tubby old trump supporters none of that was necessary. I hope the bear mace person is charged.

I will never go to a protest because if you have to yell something your argument isn't strong enough, or your opponent cant be swayed by reason.

It appeared that the trump supporters in that video did nothing to deserve a physical attack, or to be cornered and made to fear an attack.
 
Tropodan explaining in now locked "all terrorists identified" thread what upset him about the storming of the capitol:

I'm inclined to agree with you about the capitol building though. I get it, that shit is only supposed to happen in tin pot countries. What upsets me is that they obviously didn't have the numbers to succeed in occupying the building. They just created a giant shitshow that will be used against them. They fucked themselves.
 
Not sure the context but I think they just want to know how to train the guy to be improve. Support the whole “know your weakness and strive to improve them” thing in others.
This is the answer, I looked up and found some examples. Weird way to ask it, no?
I basically addressed how this experience offers opportunities and incentives to improve the relative weaknesses.
 
Really wondering where the GOP will be headed until 2024.

Right now it seems to be that the only candidate who - after recent weeks - stands a chance of winning the Presidential Election would be a candidate who is neither Trump nor from the die-hard Trump wing. On the other hand, it seems that the only candidate capable of getting the nomination is a Trumpian candidate as the rest of the party is not comparably organized.
 
I really hope he gets up to 100 million followers and then it is revealed it's a fake and some is scamming them all for huge amounts of money which is then given to Planned Parenthood, the Make a Wish Foundation (wink wink), the Campaign to Re-Elect Joe Biden, and research on restoring integrity to politics.

It's the irony they deserve.

Its fake the real guy has his @ in the profile.
Some producer for a show. Medical something something.

I think we have to wait to see if the 14 amendment gets applied and purges some of the maniacs.
