You literally made the argument that it's all a sham, I pointed out that the movies teach you not to accept this. Apparently you should watch them again.

I mean...I guess you could say the theme is to learn to trust strange black men in overcoats, though even that was seemingly retconned in the sequels but...WAIT NO FUCK I AM NOT DOING THIS

That doesn't mean that you can dismiss anything he posts out of hand.
He intentionally crafted a version of an event designed to protect the reputation of one side while maligning the other because he thought you'd never find out about other information he knew at the time but didn't want to include.

As far as I can tell, the reasonable takeaway would be that purposeful manipulation of his own audience is something I have seen he is willing to do, and therefore I should worry that taking him at his word risks making me a sucker.

This is a far more honest justification of unskeptically receiving Andy Ngo content. For someone with this worldview, it makes total sense to gravitate towards such an account. I don't mean that dismissively.

Portland is fiery! Many such cases!

WE're back folks! Welcome to riot season 2021!

Burt, I did some checking on this post and you are really misrepresenting what happened. You said “year”, but other news sources indicated that, as a matter of fact, the earth was orbiting the sun before the protests started and you appear to be hiding this in your post.

Idiots on both sides. And they all have guns. WHat could possibly go wrong with no training or the 8hr gun safety class they had to take.

Just wait until people have access to more sophisticated weapons, you'll be begging for the gun era. Imagine a world where some neck beard is hitting you with a directed energy attack for using the wrong pronoun to his partner.
