What could have motivated someone to drive 40mph down a one-way alley with pedestrian traffic? I guess we'll never know the truth.

Berkley literally became a warzone because the mayor is a black blocker who told the police to not intervene in open street conflict. He literally is responsible for the damage through his actions.

The ACLU support is actually a great litmus test. everyone I know who has a problem with the ACLU defending all comers is some sort of late-to-the-party milquetoast liberal who celebrated record levels of Obama deportions and his insane expansion of the surveillance state which he gifted to Trump with a bow. they're unreliable allies at best and you shouldn't trust them when the chips are down, because they'll never join an occupy protest or a protest for paid family leave but they will dogpile on 200 idiots who have never had a bit of influence in their entire lives

Unless you've got an event to plan for years in advance like the G20, the police are only capable of prosecuting arrests for crimes after-the-fact. They're not physically capable of protecting anything. There just aren't enough resources, even after over a decade of militarization and DoHD money.

anyway the reason the berkeley cops didn't beat up the protestors was because the last time they did it turned out that the protestors they were beating up were wholly uc berkeley students and their rich parents got mad and it became a huge embarassment for the cops namaste

There was pretty much no downside to the cops attacking the WNs in Cvillle, because they were all either from out of state or from Canada.

fake Nazis do go away when they realize they can't troll you. here's a hint, if they're wearing a polo shirt and carrying a tiki torch they're a fake nazi

fat American Nazis and the ones from 100 years ago with the contraptions on the history channel aren't the same or even similar, they're aping those affectations because they get you riled

The Tiki Torch March ended up attacking the counter-protesters who were being non-violent, and outnumbered them heavily. If you ignore them, then what they see is that they'll be unopposed in public and only become more emboldened to assert their will by violence. Antifa had its resurgence because skinheads used to show up to music concerts and beat the poo poo out of anyone they thought was a human being. Nazis and fascists view the exercise of violence as essential to their political praxis, and whether you think that some of them are only "pretending" doesn't matter a single goddamn. Once the kek lulz idiots see that aggression gets the goods they will follow those leaders.

I've known a bunch of people who don't see anything that happens on the internet as real in any way, it's just a land of fantasy with no meaning or consequence, which they take as license to be internet edgelords. I think it's just a thing that happens when you give kids unfiltered and unlimited access to the internet as their primary influence. It makes it a little harder to work out who is being edgy for the sake of it, who is making a joke out of imitating edgy poo poo, and who is just a lovely person.

Well I hate to use a cliche here, but like Vonnegut said "We are what we pretend to be...."

I think Sam Hyde is a perfect example of someone who "pretended" to be a fascist, only to think he was being persecuted when people didn't like his schtick and turned into an unabashed reactionary.

The notion that anyone and everyone who dislikes political violence is a lib will never stop being laughable. Is Noam Chomsky a lib now? Are all anti-authoritarian socialists really crypto-libs?

Not libs, but pretty cowardly imo. Discouraging leftists from engaging in political violence because you're afraid we're not as ruthless as the Nazis, is basically an open admission that they can push you as far as they want & you won't fight back until it's too late.

What revolutionary councils? Who paid the continental army?

Financing the Continental Army was a collective effort throughout the colonies. The revolutionary soldiers themselves had to pay for it. It wasn't until the war was won and a real government established under the Constitution could start collecting taxes that the Continental Army could be truly paid for. They also stiffed veterans on the pensions they were promised, and a full pension program for veterans wasn't established until 49 years after the Revolutionary War.
