I appreciate that you show a lot of local news information, man I feel for that guy. He just wants to work and have a successful business. Is that asking too much? In Seattle...maybe it is
Are you comparing some random person on twitter to an accredited news organization? I mean do you get tax advice from twitter or an accountant? Regardless, there is scant evidence of antifa being involved. There is lot of evidence of white nationalist groups creating fake content on twitter to blame antifa and even encourage members to dress up and act as antifa at protests. So again, apply critical thinking skills here. Do your homework and not just trust what you get from the blaze or whatever right-wing nut blog you read or follow on twitter.
let’s call it what it is. A bunch of white kids who are doing it cause it’s cool and rebellious. The mug shot of all these people, not a single Black person. the real victims are the businesses. Large as amazon and small as a Chinese restaurant. Once businesses leave the community will go down fast. Where is the city going to get their taxes for the police or anything ? Trash pickup, fixing roads etc? protestors, politicians, left, right .. nah bro Once businesses leave its over
Antifa - people who believe that Antifa is a thing are ****ing idiots! Antif literally means Anti Facists - there is no ANTIFA organization - there is no coordinated Antifa movement - and BTW - if there were, the people have a RIGHT to overthrow an oppressive government that is in the constitution. I am so sick of the cowards on the right and their fear this and fear that, and their bullshit propaganda. Stop hiding, start caring - or at least educate your ignorant asses. DD
ANTIFA is a legit organization.. maybe you should see what they have been doing in Portland the last few years.. https://www.adl.org/resources/backgrounders/who-are-antifa I will agree that the far right is using "antifa" as a catalyst for "fear mongering" etc. But any would be just as ignorant if they believed the right are the only ones spewing "buillshit propaganda". Both sides are full of ****. The problem is this - there are thugs, looters, et al in these protests destroying peoples lives (and their own) while being to selfish to really know what they are doing. Sounds familiar doesn't it? Additionally, I am not sure if you know what oppressive means, but most, if not all, very large cities in this country are run by democratic leaders. Why are almost all of the democratic lead inner cities in such a sad state of affairs? There is funding and tax dollars going to these cities, where is the money going? If the political parties were reversed in this example, we would still be asking the same damn questions. My overall point is this - I don't care if you're a far right r****d, a loud mouth left democrat or a libtard. There is an affinity of issues in this country within all levels of society and government and I really have no idea how you (or anyone for that matter) can educate the average person to understand what really needs to happen to fix it. Taking the left side and tossing out shame while name calling or taking the right and asking God to fix everything isn't a way to tackle the serious issues going on. It is extremely unfortunate, but it is a sign of things to come. The fact that humans have such a short attention span (and an even shorter memory these days) is the only thing that will allow this to go on for my lifetime. I feel really bad for the next generations that will have to inherit the **** show we are living in. This exact reason is why the Gen X and Gen Y population is in a "fend for themselves" mode, with a make as much money they can mindset. The stock market is a good example of it.
Both sides are NOT full of it the RIGHT is corrupt paid for - and comparing it to the left is like saying murder and stealing a pack of gum is equal. Yes, they are both crimes but they are not equal. The left wants to institute national healthcare, take money away from a bloated military and start building up infastructure, and create a civil service program so the poor folks don't have to go into the Military to get a degree, they can go into civil service and earn a CS bill much like the GI Bill. Meanwhile the right continues to push for Totalatarian views, and Trump moves us closer to a facist state - where we have no freedoms - and everyone has to listen to the dear leader. Never understand how people who pretend to love freedom are so willing to give it up. DD
If most of America isn't a fan of loud mouth egotistical, the why did we vote in Trump? Are you some parody account?
One white supremacist in one day in one black church murdered more Americans than Antifa has in their entire history. Also you don't have a single clue why we have run down poor urban ghettos. Hint: Redlining, and local infrustrcture spending such as k-12 education being based in local property values. Do you even know what Redlining is? Do you even know how these urban ghettos formed? You jump in here without a single shred of nuance about these issues and pretend to be on some high horse. It's easy to see when people actually care about these issues or use them as a crutch for political banter talking points. I suggest you read some of these articles of there is a ounce of sincerity within you about caring about these issues: https://timeline.com/redlining-federal-housing-racist-14d7f48267e8 Also you can tell the lack of sincerity by the fact that the only time someone brings up poor urban ghettos, it's for a political attack on their ideolgical opponent rather than for problem solving reasons and I bet my left nut you never bring up these type of issues outside the context "Democrat bad".
Important to note that the most well known group of "Anti-Facists" was actually the United States Military who back in WW2 decided to take action against fascism in Europe and Asia after the attack on Pearl Harbor. People just seem to disregard the fact that being "Anti Fascist" is typically something revered in a Western Democracy. Trying to sell people that being Anti Fascist is an existential threat to the United States especially when they have not killed a single person in the most recent movement is a big part of the problem that the Trump cult has had in making Antifa an existential threat that allows Trump to gain more police state powers to take action. Yes.... Trumpers are okay with giving Trump autocrat powers to install a police state but that's not surprising since they are against being "Anti Fascist" that implies they are pro-fascism to a certain extent..... but with the part of America that is NOT fascist supporting, it's not surprise that the movement to give Trump autocratic powers because of Antifa.... has had trouble taking hold outside of the Tucker Carlson White Nationalism hour.
You seem really agitated lately. I think you should gather up some friends and head up north to Save Our Seattle (SOS).
Let me poise the question differently.... "Why is Fascism good, and why is it worth fighting people who are fighting Fascism by giving Autocratic Fascist powers to the president?"
Starbucks too. time to move on out of there. https://nypost.com/2020/07/20/12-cops-injured-buildings-damaged-as-seattle-protest-turns-violent/ “Individuals in the group appeared to target Starbucks and Amazon,” Sgt. Lauren Truscott told reporters.
