Very annoying how they can just pretend antifa doesn't exist and ignore hours of footage of them throwing explosive fireworks at police and rioting day in and out. Not to mention Portland has declined considerably, but we're just making things up. I don't know how the public can be so naïve and easily persuaded against the truth. Am I just endowed with superior bullshit detector and an interest in actually knowing the truth or are those that aren't "online" just too trustworthy of traditional media sources?
the only decline in portland (assuming you’ve ever been, even once) is the downtown core is a bit more hollowed out after covid. you are fed lies online and gobble them up like a pig. hope that helps.
My partner's thought the first time he went to Portland for business (probably 25 years ago) -- when the Downtown was very nice -- was that there must be a lot of inbreeding.
Where do these protesters get their money? How do they survive? Who or what directs them? I don’t see much of a plan other than acting out. Not sure Antifa is making the history books.
They aren't standing up to "fascism." They're just wasting other people's time and money on destruction and anarchy. They are major losers. Obese, weird and ugly. Out in public without clothing. Ugh. Can't unsee that disgusting parade of madness. They should be in jail or mental institutions.

"fascism" == normal people wanting to preserve their nation for "ourselves and our posterity"
Of course, it is possible that the Antifa rioters in Portland and other locations where sustained riots occur are all amateurs with day jobs whose social lives are based on their politics. However, sustaining a riot a night for 3 months or so implies funding and organization. Are you saying they all sleep on their paid gigs?
It is possible that the leaders are not formally appointed, but people are like chimps -- they very strongly tend to get leaders they docilely follow; you see that in practically every line of human activity.
A study of political science & history helps. There are two basic differences between absolute monarchism and fascism. (A) The monarchists have a program for replacing dictators. (B) Fascist parties have social justice programs. We do not have a fascist nor a monarchist movement in the USA.
champ, just go to the local news in Portland. stop reading your insane propaganda, look at the local news station.
no need to study history or anything else. you can simply look at the local news in Portland and find out none of what you're describing is happening.
Perhaps you're confused and recalling riots from many years ago. Please do not refer to other people as chimps when you confuse imaginary things you saw online with reality.
There are some photos you can smell as much as you can see.
What a murderer's row of aspiring murderers!
Portland should just cut out the middlemen and turn their govt over to the righteous freedom-loving soldiers of Antifa. They could hire someone like Margaret Brennan to be their press secretary—how can you blame the administration for something if it doesn't exist!??
Portland Antifa is like the mafia for hideous sexually confused drug-addled mutants. Don't talk about this thing of ours to outsiders—and never wash or brush your teeth. It's a code of honor!
This video is insane. Skip forward to 11:30. A Portland cop is fighting with a white skell for control of his gun while the cop’s partner - a woman - is doing NOTHING to help. At 12:25 she “pounds” on the skell’s back with pathetically weak “punches” that I guarantee the skell didn’t even feel.
While ideally she should be fired with forfeiture of all pension rights I suppose a remedy would be to suspend her without pay for six months while the undergoes, at her own expense, an extremely rigorous full time fitness and strength program.
Lived in Portland from 95'-07' & loved it early on to around 02'-microbrew culture, great clubs (of both the music & strip variety), great/walkable downtown w/amazing restaurants & arguably the most perfect weather starting the day after the 4th of July through late Oct. But for my last 5 years there I started to "notice" creeping negative changes. First the annoying as crap "gutter punks"-mostly probably at least decently well off young whiteys grubbing for change & just being douchey in general. Plus, the major influx captured in the show Portlandia of beyond libtard English majors w/BAs from the likes of oppressed colleges like Middlebury Vermont who couldn't find a job in their career at all so they had to suffer as wait staff making the super high min. wage PLUS tips! It got old fast. So glad I fled to the normal Burque in NM just like I did my hometown of Detroit in the early 90s when I was still in my 20s.
Remarkable percentage of youngish people wearing spectacles-they probably can't even see each other at night so it's hardly surprising that an old fellow like Merrick couldn't
Considering you live in Los Angeles, what is your sleep schedule like? You seem to blog and tweet late into the night. Do you keep a radically different schedule than Mrs. Sailer? Does she work?
I saw that the Portland chapter of the World Naked Bike Ride deployed an emergency run to protest ICE.
You'd have to be a woke crazy to think that this would work. Either that or your brain is just that zonked out from heavy drug use. Then again, the Venn diagram crossover between woke crazy and heavy drug user is strong.
What makes this even crazier than usual is that this was an *emergency* version of this regular annual event, just for the purpose.
That's how you can tell that, if there is a method to this madness, a lot of this is designed for these people to show off (quite literally) for each other rather than win the actual fight or debate.
> Seriously, if you watched only the carefully curated national news, you’d have gotten the impression that (a) Antifa doesn’t exist; (b) Antifa is a civic betterment movement led by the public-spirited Wall of Moms; and (c) The peaceful protesters of Antifa were the Gandhi-like victims of Trumpian brutality.
On the other hand, some of us who are Pacific time zone night owls ... <
Sure there's an element to the time-zone issue, but c'mon.
This isn't because the media are all in bed, it is because they specialize in lying. Your "carefully curated" captures it. We've had 60+ of pretty much non-stop media twisting, spinning, lying to push and prop up the minoritarian narrative. Day and night. In every time zone.
Antifa is the street fighting arm of the Parasite Party--designed to harass, intimidate and silence any normie pushback against their narrative--attempts by normies and elected officials elected by normies to enforce laws and recover their nation. Ergo "Antifa doesn't exist".
Brilliant, Steve!

I tired Kenosha after the Jacob Blake riots. I guess all the fire gutted buildings were just part of a MAGA deception.
My partner's thought the first time he went to Portland for business (probably 25 years ago) -- when the Downtown was very nice -- was that there must be a lot of inbreeding.
Apparently, that's only grown worse ...

this is all just a series of made up lies. no one is paying them to stand up against fascism. the fact you can’t grasp this is the only issue here.
Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Don't be silly. Everybody knows that applying white laws to black people is fascism.
That's another thing to notice about that photo collage... No blacks! Pretty on point for Portland, though.

You infer that I'm calling selected people chimps when I said that people normally behave in a certain way like chimps. Why is that?
"no need to study history or anything else." Do you hear yourself talk? Do you read what you write?

very threatening.
either that, or you're a confused little fash. call your kids, grandpa.

I think the actual rioters are not paid, but the green helmets that are at every riot are part of the National Lawyers Guild, whose funding is public.

But the key question is, how do you pronounce Antifa?
Is it Ann-TEE-Fa or AUNTIE-Fa?
Personally I pronounce it as the former although I don't know if it's correct per se
I think perhaps the bad aunties is a reasonable collective term for that rogues gallery
F**king commies. That’s how I pronounce it.

The cop asks "and how did that make you feel?"
Make nightsticks great again. Or bring back height and strength minimums for cops.

Losers with nothing to lose are optimal street fighters. That's the paradox of the Right: they have stuff to lose.
Antifa are analogous to the Red Terrorists of post WW1 Germany. They were causative in the creation and rise of National Socialism in Germany.
