Brooks Bear is dumber than even me and I've got CTE.
Damn!
He/she is entertaining though.
FYI BBL is a "He/She"

Pretty sure I met him at a football game tailgate back when we were all on BBF. Young man with a big beard. I think he had graduated from Baylor a year or two before and was working in Austin or San Antonio. I remember he was well spoken and enjoyed beer.
Why would you say such a thing?

Actually it was BBL Brooks Bear Lives. I have never met TS.
Redbrickbear said:Had it been antifa and BLM? Probably the same thing with a little more looting. A few dead and the capitol occupied for a while.Thee University said:
what would have happened and what would we be debating today?
So not much different sadly than what happened yesterday.
The only difference would be the national Media reaction...more of "it was mostly peaceful" and "it was just a 100 hot heads out of the tens of thousands of peaceful protestors".
Hate to see the Country come to this point.
Hate that the Left legitimatized mass political rioting/violence over the past year.
Hate that the Right has sunk to their level and done it now.
Hate everything about it.
and attacking lone police officers at home, then attacking isolated police outposts like checkpoints, small town stations, etc....where there were 1-3 personnel at most. Those kinds of killings and seizures demoralize police and undermine public trust in the regime. Why would any citizen appeal to police for protection when the police could not protect themselves? And if police respond with force, it inevitably involves collateral damage on innocent lives property; if they do not, well it just shows how ineffective they are, to include highlighting lack of will of local political leadership.Sam Lowry said:
So there were several years of unrest in the form of strikes and land occupations by anarchist and socialist groups, which resemble current movements like Antifa. These were eventually repressed by right-wing militias, which also have their present-day analogues. Neither side is as well organized yet, but their ideas and methods are similar. Of course there are differences. Racism wasn't an important part of Italian fascism like it is with the American alt-right. Germany is a better comparison in that sense. As Whiterock alluded to, Chinese revolutionaries started by occupying small pieces of land and slowly expanding their influence. On the cultural front, they focused on destroying the relics of the past in order to purge any memory of traditional ways.
Yeah, those groups weren't like ANTIFA because ANTIFA isn't actually a thing. Ever notice how no one has ever been able to infiltrate ANTIFA? There has never been an ANTIFA org brought up on real charges?Sam Lowry said:

Dozens and dozens of pieces on QANON, documentaries about white supremacists, nazis, Proud Boys.... but nothing on ANTIFA. Almost no names. No charges. No one in jail.
How is that possible?
Then I'm sure you will have NO trouble showing me where there have been convictions of ANTIFA for terrorism, deaths... attempted murder...whiterock said:BrooksBearLives said:Yeah, those groups weren't like ANTIFA because ANTIFA isn't actually a thing.

How is that possible?
How is it possible that someone could be so disconnected from reality?
Antifa is a visible thing with real people and a real agenda.
Antifa has social media presence.
Antifa has street presence.
Antifa doxxes and destroys people and property
Antifa does hand to hand combat with police most nights in Portland.
Antifa has been arrested by the hundreds.
Antifa has laid siege to federal buildings/agents with fire bombs.
Antifa has been videotaped in action.
Antifa has been penetrated by undercover journalists
(Antifa has probably been penetrated by Law Enforcement, too).
Good grief, man. That's quite a pseudo-reality you're living.
