Being supportive of rioters

[Kriegsspiel]

"We're on your side!" as rocks come smashing through the windows. Doesn't seem to work.

Thomas Chatterton Williams & John McWhorter making sense, as usual.

Had to dig a bit to find anything by McWhorter. Well worth a read:

Yeah, I noticed the original encapsulated tweet got wiped out. I just came here to put a direct link to McWhorter. Thanks for providing it!

Anti-racism as a religion sounds about right. It's a huge strawman argument. They say racism is the problem, but the problem is the breakdown of families, especially among poor minorities. Take Minneapolis for example, where everything started this time. As some have pointed out, Minnesota has been a liberal state since forever. When was the last time they voted Republican? Probably none of us were alive the last time. So, with all that liberality, we are supposed to believe that racism is still a major problem in Minnesota? Is it just possible that the problem is not racism, but rather failed liberal social policies?

Big government is the problem, not the solution.

If you want to help poor people, don't vote for big government.

No matter how big the government is, the "progressives" claim it's not big enough.
You would think people would be able to figure this out but apparently the lamestream brainwashing is too effective.

Loved the comment "Two red pills were just thrown thru the window" LOLOLOL

under the original posting of the video,

Inside this guy’s pleas of “we’re on your side” is the value that it is ok to do this to your political rivals.

Reminds me of Michael Moore on 9/11/01 saying the targets shouldn’t have been in states that voted for Gore.

White natuonalists posing as Antifa.

I'm glad Twitter is preventing white nationalists from horning in on Antifa's racket! What has this world come to, that a wonderful organization like Antifa can't organize their own riots without interference?

Where is your proof Antifa is an organization?

Proff that they have been organizing any of the violence?

What has this got to do with the point that FA organizations are trying to invite violence?

Being anti fascists in and of itself doesn't sound like a bad thing to me.

If you want to join Antifa, their Facebook page is a good place to start: https://www.facebook.com/antifa.usa/
Welcome to my ignore list.

Clicking on that link now gives you the below.

I'm just reminded of my Jamaican coworker who traveled the same route home after work that I did. He got pulled over at least once a month...I never did.

I don't have all the answers...

I think blaming all of this on failed liberal policies is a convenient oversimplification. I'm sure some policies had unintended negative consequences however.

The war on drugs has been an issue. White flight and inner city poverty and lack of resources for kids. A history of systemic prejudice. There are many many factors that led us here besides failed liberal policies.
