Hey Portland - you might get what you deserve.

Why were there piles of bricks placed all over cities? The establishment wanted people to riot.

I'm just going to leave this here. Seriously, I actually remember watching Amazon's Borat companion show where they're talking about how bricks were supposedly left out for people to riot, even though it turned out they were there for months before anyone could have known there would be a riot. Fucking Hell, you proved my backhanded remark about critiques like yours being 90-some percent removed from reality accurate. Evidently, in your case, it's in the higher 90s.

As far as Antifa goes, I don't see how you can support them at all. Their whole thing is physically attacking people for exercising their free speech, or trying to burn down court houses. They are an absolute clown show and they really need to grow up.

This video should explain why:



Also, it's weird watching old Philosophy Tube videos where Abby's presenting as male after she came out as trans a bit less than half a year ago.

The thing about the bricks does not tear down my whole argument. That was only a tiny part of it, so it stands nonetheless. Thanks for that link.

I will watch the rest of the video you posted about Antifa, but so far I see it mentioned getting people's speaking appearances cancelled at universities and things like that. I don't agree with that either. Let them speak. Universities are supposed to be about having open discussions, not trying to silence anyone who disagrees with you. This is what separates me from the wokeists. I'm completely for social justice causes, but trying to win by any means necessary, even if that means supporting taking away other people's rights, that is when you become the bad guy. For example, I'm not heterosexual and I don't believe in god, but when I've seen street preachers being harassed or attacked by gay people, and the street preacher is the one that ends up being arrested (this has happened in Canada multiple times), I'm taking the side of the street preacher every time, even though I completely disagree with his message. It's irrelevant that I disagree with his message, because I am consistent with my beliefs and values. Taking away people's rights is fucked up.
