The number one rule about the falsely named "Anti-fa" is that they are the opposite of that – they are fascistic through and through.

Exactly and keep calling people out who claim they are anti when their tactics mirror those of real fascists. Also I do not capitalize the word. May be an organization but try not to give them any credence other than as anti American.

What a load of utter nonsense. Anyone opposing this fascist regime is an anti fascist. Which is a GOOD THING. You MAGAts are truly insane.

So, if you're 'Anti-Gravity' can you fly?

Too bad for you, the collectivist ideology of fascism is clearly leftist, no matter what language lies are used by the left.

This is one of the basic principles of fascism:

(6) The State intervenes in private concerns when individual initiative is lacking or insufficient. State intervention may take the form of assistance, control or direct management. The State, therefore, has the right to step in to safeguard national interests, though the development of production is normally secured by private enterprise.

Again:

State intervention may take the form of assistance, CONTROL OR DIRECT MANAGEMENT.

That is a leftist ideal.

Read a book or two and learn something for once.

Fascist ideology is always far-right, dimwit. Your gaslighting is so laughably bad and out of control. Get over yourself. YOU ARE THE FASCISTS. Just own it at this point. We see you. Stop fucking lying. It’s pathetic.

And yet you utterly FAILED to address the reference point that was made that proves that it's a leftist – collectivist ideology.

You should also note that acting like a 5 year old and spewing insults falls way far short of the mark and that everyone knows it's a waste of time to argue with a child.

You deserve every goddamn insult coming your way, you fascist piece of dog shit.

I’m not a child. But you are most certainly a goddamn moron.

And I hope you’re super rich because the super rich are the only people who will “benefit” in any way from this Nazi-style regime.

What's REALLY Happening in Portland KEY Facts You Must Know

Trump sends troops to Portland Oregon

Welcome back to World According to Briggs! This video covers the ongoing protest and unrest in Portland Oregon. The Portland news is reporting on the Portland riots and the impact on the city of Oregon. The rumors and bad faith reporting has gotten to the point that President Trump is deploying the national guard. Are they really needed?

FYI 1800+ replies most are negative.

We needed the troops about 3 years ago .. My extended family who moved here to Portland and fell in love with it 16 years ago, have all returned to Austin and Alabama in disgust. Of course I'm the only one who complained out loud .. and also the only one still here. I'm an optimist.

Far greater problem than Antifa is black racial attacks on white people due to the constant demonization of “Whiteness!” by the democrats and their media. This Chicago Tribune editorial with a link on Real Clear Politics yesterday leaves out the main ingredients. There’s nothing at all new about women being punched by men in downtown Chicago or in other cities around the country and these attacks are by black men on white women. They are racial hate crimes which is why they happen and they are allowed to continue because they are black on white and the democrats and their media refuse to report this or stop them for that reason. This sure wouldn’t be allowed if the races were reversed. This is a direct result of the demonization of “Whiteness!” by the left which is evil and insane.

“Rumors of a “Loop puncher” have swirled in Chicago for months — stories of women attacked seemingly at random. It turns out, there’s more than one man throwing punches, and not just downtown.”

As Blechschmidt described it, Livingston came up and hit her square in the face.

“We made eye contact, and like, he just had pure hate in his eyes. Just anger, pure anger,” she told WGN, adding that “letting him go home is not working.”

“Too often, those accused of violent outbursts are cycled through courts without the kind of intervention — mental health or otherwise — that could prevent the next attack. That leaves women to bear the burden of vigilance.”

Editorial: Chicago can’t shrug off the unease random attacks create.

That can't possibly be true. Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson say, "nothing to see here". Chicago's not under attack by lunatics and crazies, gangs and criminal illegals. I know you live there and all and have eyes and ears, but trust what the fat man has to say; his useful idiot lackey confirms that Chicago is just fine.

What a disgrace!

IANAL and this is not legal advice but there is a legal doctrine called disparity of force which allows deadly force against an unarmed attacker. The criteria for disparity include such things as sex, size and age. There are others but these would seem to be relevant to your scenario. Of course, all the other rules for deadly force apply and bare fear won't work. If you have the misfortune to live in a city you should educate yourself self about this body of law. Masaad Ayoob and Andrew Branca are good places to start. Remember though that the places where this is important are also the places where you are most likely to be hauled into a kangaroo court.

Wait, what happened to the genocide rants? You are confusing. Maybe you figured out that supporting Islam conflicts with your other values? Make a choice, because you must realize you can’t have it both ways. Western Civilization or antisemitism?

Jen Todd's avatar

Unfortunately, the only genocide being committed is by Hamas and keffiyeh loving imbecils that will happily slit every throat in sight, including their own, on behalf of their "social justice" efforts. Dipshits like the professional brat, Greta Thrunberg and reporters at the NYT, can't be bothered to accurately report what is happening in Gaza because, ultimately, their efforts are to promote an agenda very different from what is actually happening. People suffer in war but the over-the-top, willfully inaccurate reporting is totally pathetic and not to be trusted.

100% Jen. Antisemitism is equivalent to anti- Western Civilization. It’s time to force the issue. Do they hate Jews more than they love Western Civilization? No more both sides of the fence here. It’s time to choose. I hope they choose wisely.

This particular commenter has been very vocal about “genocide” and veiled antisemitism (I’m just anti-Zionist!).

I’m not willing to play nice any more.

The only Democracy in the Middle East is a threat to our sovereignty? How has this delusion taken hold? Criticize Israel all you want but every comment I read is a default to "the Jews" with zero criticisms of Israel. How has radical fundamental Islamic terrorism become both honorable and victimized? Perhaps these idiots aren't old enough to remember or don't care to remember 911 and the explicit effort to destroy our country along with every infidel that refuses to comply. Yes, the gloves are off! I refuse to blindly follow fools into the meat grinder of ill-liberalism that requires self destruction and a commitment to losing and failure.

Let me criticize Israel: They should have smashed Hamas when they had the chance instead of capitulating to the Biden/Harris Fiasco who built a $250 million dollar, tax payer funded pier into Gaza to enable a terrorist organization that held American hostages. Very, very stupid.

Whether you’re willing to play nice or not is irrelevant. What’s relevant is that your beloved Israel has become a global pariah state and that’s according to scholars respected globally like John Mearsheimer and Jeffrey Sachs. If you paid any attention to global news and saw the huge anti-Israel protests in Europe and the Middle East you’d understand this.

So that answers the question. You hate Jews more than you love Western Civilization.

And yet you see what’s happened in our country when anti-civilization is given the upper hand. It’s not pretty. But the antisemitism is stronger.

You can’t sit on that fence. Choose. Western Civilization or barbarism.

Never give up. Refuse to see the evidence all around you of the assault on Western Civilization and who and what are causing it.

Just like the Zionist to conflate Judaism with Western Civilization. You sound exactly like the woke-tards that never stop whining about how 'Trump is an existential threat to our democracy' and look equally as foolish.

Antisemitism is the fuel for Zionists: if there is never enough around, they go out of their way to create it. Zionism has done more to harm Judaism in the last 80 years than anything else.

It's not the end of Western Civilization that the Zionists fear, it is the exposure of their lies and the resulting loss of control and power that comes with that. The Zionist's tears fuel America First.

I couldn't imagine a greater gift to the world than for the US to end the Zionist project in America for our 250th birthday so that we all can truly be free.

Don't have the patience to watch a live stream so I hope you summarize and analyze later. I trust you for a fair summary. The foot soldiers are easy to find but the important thing is to prosecute the politicians who enable them which are also pretty obvious. Even more important is to connect the dots to the funders. This takes a lot of resources to investigate as they are adept at covering their tracks. A good start would be a close look at Open Society, Arabella and Tides. Lots of other foundations and NGOs involved too but if you start pulling threads out of those three, you will find a large cadre.

I have been to Oregon more times than I can count ever since I was 5. My mom and would travel there yearly, stay 2 weeks in vacation to visit my grandparents, aunt, uncles and cousins. Although we visited my grandparents in ID, OR was just over a small bridge.

People, including my family, would travel the 5 miles from Main Street (ID) over the bridge Ontario, OR to eat at restaurants, go shopping, go to the outdoor movie theater, and the hospital is there.

95% of Oregon is nowhere near being like Portland. Portland was a stunningly beautiful city, particularly driving the freeway along the Willamette River.

A few years ago, our niece and her husband wanted to go to Portland. I cautioned them not to go to Portland and told them my reasons. I told her, "If they see out-of-state license plates, they'll vandalize your car, or steal it. If you rent a car, they'll break the windows to steal anything in the car, so get insurance."

My husband was born in Oregon, but grew up just over the state line in California. His mother and one of his brothers live in Oregon today, nowhere near Portland. You're very right, most of the state is nothing like Portland.

I've said over and over again to my husband, who's the only person who listens to me, that conservatives (or really, any non-communist) need to develop an urban strategy. We've seen state after state turn "blue" starting with a core in the urban area. The urban/not-urban divide puts almost every state at risk.
