Portland looks like its spilling into the residential areas tonight.

So much for "we were only mad at the feds!"

It was around the sheriff's office in the east. It got shut down pretty quick. The cops jumped on them harder.

basically it's just a term that outs whites for being the hard-wired for systemic racists they are

'gentrification'

translation: lower class blacks out, middle class whites in

'we have a whole foods! just like Lord Buckingham! we are Gentry!'

i'd like to protest the use of the term 'gentrification' in the absence of a feudal or recently-ended feudal system

on behalf of oligarchs everywhere

Almost like the cops in Portland are distracted by something:

Those protestors are using the tried and true “I’m not touching you! I’m not touching you! Can’t get mad! I’m not touching you!” logic

No:

1) I would never document myself using narcotics as that would be a basis for perjuring myself on a Form 4473 (federal background check for firearm transfer).

(How the hell have the ATF not rounded up Joe Rogan yet?)

2) I am not a veteran (That appears to be implied)

3) I am not optimistic that atomised right wing veterans can do anything useful to affect politics by other means. They are not functionally organized, and if they tried to organize, the State would come down on them hard. The 'best' that can be hoped from them in a shit hits the fan scenario is what we saw from the Santa Cruz Airforce Security Forces guy: a few assasinations followed by swift arrest.

4) The right continues to be feckless. Making threats with no ability to back them up is embarassing.
