OT Will Portland Become A War Zone This Weekend?

[barfo]

Here’s what I don’t get. They have their guy in the White House. It will never get better for these racist assholes. What are they marching for? Shouldn’t they be happy with all the winning? What has their panties all bunched up?

Maybe they realize this is the high-water mark, and it's all downhill from here for them.

Pretty much the same people. When they burn the flag destroy property hurt people thats anarchy.
Its the same dudes at the all the protect that wear mask and protect wall street or ICE.

It probably isn't all the same people. There might be some individuals in common, but there are different interests and issues on the left just as there are different interests and issues on the right.

This crossed my mind but that’s an awful lot of awareness on their side. Not sure if I’d grant them that

One side does have the moral high ground is the thing though. You can't equate dehumanizing innocents with punching Nazis, or I guess you somehow are, which is the problem in my opinion.

And you are making the classic liberal mistake, which is equating all conservatives with nazis. Regardless, hate begets hate. Show me swastikas at any of these conservative protests in Portland. I have yet to see one. It's so easy to just write people off as racists and nazis and try to take the moral high ground, while most of the true violence that has occurred has happened at the hands of ANTIFA and during the anti-Trump protests.

Dude. Proud Boys are straight up racist fascists. Do a little reading. It's not that hard to figure out.

He didn't say all conservatives. Seems like you are the one equating all conservatives with those goons downtown.

Why are you assuming that I'm just talking about the Proud Boys?

 

[theprunetang]

Why are you assuming that I'm just talking about the Proud Boys?

Maybe because they are the ones marching in downtown Portland? Who the fuck else would we be talking about in this thread?

So read my other fucking comment and see that I'm talking about bigger picture. You guys keep expanding and then contracting the scope.

I'm not talking about all conservatives and never would. I'm just talking about the groups that are out there causing a shit storm currently.

I did learn something today, apparently that ok sign is like a racist symbol or something. Im gonna have to address that at work, Monday because we use that sign all the time when were saying, “our system is up and running”. Might be time we pick something else.

Joe Biggs, a former InfoWars staffer and the organizer of Saturday’s right-wing demonstration, was asked by The Oregonian/OregonLive what message the effort got across:

“Go look at President Trump’s Twitter,” he said. “He talked about Portland, said he’s watching antifa. That’s all we wanted. We wanted national attention, and we got it. Mission success.”

By megaphone, Biggs told his demonstrators: “In private chats we’ll be posting next area we’ll be meeting. Everyone else go home." He said no further protests were planned and that the group was going to go “party.”

Okay, and I said that those fucktards wouldn't be here if ANTIFA and the liberals hadn't been rioting after Trump won the election.

Make the idiot proud boys cross the Morrison bridge to the eastside and then raise the bridge so that antifa idiots can't follow.

One thing I would like to address is what is Facism, in Europe its taken on many faces. Mainly in the beginning it was Nationalistic, Authoritarian and Dictatorship. Which in on its face seems like “bad” government to me, but all government styles have their highs and lows. I think for some when they say oh the ANTIFA people are being fascist like they are referring to the part of this ideology that was authoritative over peoples thoughts, you comply or die type of thing. Neo-Fascism, and many of the forms its taken recently (last hundred years or so), have taken the nationalistic approach to the extreme of racism, and added in other things that are pretty appalling as well. I “think” thats what ANTIFA, is really saying their against, the hate, and elitism of race, social standing, etc that has come with the newer movements associated with Fascism.

bullshit. You're trying to raise the chicken and the egg argument all over again. One action does not excuse the other action.
