"Never let a good crisis go to waste."
Funny how a quote from Saul Alinski from his 1971 book "Rules for Radicals" is now standard operating procedure. I guess it seems less radical now that it's so commonplace.

It’s still just as radical to reasonable people, but like you said it is SOP for the left. Many high-profile leftist politicians are openly students and proponents of alinsky.
lol, the nonstop fake accusations against "the left" are only adding to the chaos. Despite there being no evidence of any Antifa involvement, Trump is continuing to use them as a scapegoat, even announcing his intentions to label them a "terrorist organization." Pretty sure he tried that last time people were rioting. Its just the standard deflection.
None of the riots against racial injustice in the last few decades have anything to do with Red vs Blue. Keep fanning those flames tho. The country is burning, and all Trump is thinking about is attacking Democrats. Cops are trying to disguise themselves as antifa
and just like everything else idiots fall for, it works exactly as intended. Anyone with some braincells can see what it is, but that's not their target for the narrative.

It's not going to be proven, none of them have been grabbed and beaten yet to prove their identity.
It's just to obvious to not be obvious. Now even on Brasil we had conflict between protestant.
Some people go to defend the president, another random group with soccer team shirt meet then > something happens > they fight. At this point, IMO whats necessary is to investigate every single bit of those "incidents". Nothing is random, its not by coincidence 2 groups ready to fight just meet in a street while the city is in quarentine yet. More than anything we need serious people investigating this and punishing everyone that broke rules. Also, stopping generalization. Idiots dont follow rules/law, must be punished. If they defend a political party, a team or a president, that dont mean the political party, the team or the president is directly involved in some random joe mess. There were hundreds of arrests made last night, we will learn more about them eventually. Thus far, there hasn't been any evidence of political groups being involved from either side. It's just another attempt to change the subject.
Still amusing that right leaning people think Antifa is an actual organized, well funded group, as opposed to a physical 'Anonymous' type deal.

Philadelphia continues to live up to it's reputation, looting in broad daylight.

I heard all of the rioters were registered democrats being directly organized and funded by obama, and that obama is literally among them. Of course it can’t be proven because we haven’t unmasked all of them to see obama’s face, but it’s just too obvious to not be true. See how dumb you sound? The real deflection is you people minimizing the domestic terrorism and trying to pretend that there’s no proof of xyz thing you’re embarrassed about. Zero percent of the rioters/terrorists vote republican. You can figure out the rest.
[+]
lol, zero percent huh? Proof? See how dumb you look?
should rioters who get arrested for known destruction of property be charged with domestic terrorism?
No, it's far too excessive of a charge, and it makes the conviction harder to obtain. Domestic terrorism should be reserved for capital offenses.

The implied inference of what our "state" becomes when the "Anti-Fascists" are labeled as the enemy; is also pretty amusing. The accepted double think that the Left are both Fascist and Anti-Fascist threats. Is both extremely comical and worrisome.

The accepted double think that the Left are both Fascist and Anti-Fascist threats. Is both extremely comical and worrisome. Fascism is REALLY attractive to the right wing. Dressed up nicely enough it can easily be sold to a majority of republicans and more than a few democrats. Father Coughlin for example.

Draylo said: » So with all this craziness going down, are people still worried about COVID? Or did that suddenly vanish from being so deadly. There will absolutely be covid consequences. opportunity knocked, people weighed choices. If there isn't a massive outbreak of COVID, with tons of deaths and hospital scares then this will definitively show it was overblown. The massive amount of people out on the street, theres no way you can hide the fact that it isn't dangerous if they don't get infected.
[+]
These riots are not the scale or place where they can create something on the scale of "massive outbreak" (yet)
Sure a hundred new positive tests might pop up in MN and the reply will be "it's only a hundred, look at new york" "it's because we're testing more, not because more people have it" Have you seen the feeds from any of the riots? There is no way those people are social distancing lmao. If the virus is as dangerous and widespread as originally stated, there is no way this won't cause an outbreak. Now the media finally have a new topic and the virus talk disappears.

Sensational leads. Imminent death sells more views than eventual death.

Yep, its why we didnt go to the protests these last two days. Its still spreading at a high rate, and its still killing at a high rate. 1000 Americans died from it yesterday. So your denials are still completely baseless. Yeppp sure
San Diego protests were peaceful until one (1) *** broke a window. Cops immediately opened fire with no warning or attempt to de-escalate. Whew lads.

Videos are gonna suck for the cops in all these cases. Its no longer a case of "my word against the cops" when everyone has a cell phone cam. Also, thanks for stopping by with your covid denials Draylo, always good for a laugh. |
