i'm proud with how my state and city has handled not only covid, but also this anarchy. there is order and peace, and businesses are opening and dining in, is once again an option. I hope order is soon restored, and everyone remains safe.

Ruh roh.  Got TV trays?  O.o

We've got curfews in the bigger towns here, too.  In fairness, there were demonstrations here, and both Greensboro and Winston Salem had minor looting.

My employer brought around letters verifying we work for an essential business; hopefully I won't have to show mine on my way to work (driving into the sunrise) in the morning.  I haven't seen anything that specifically says what time the curfew ends in the morning...

And those affected probably already know, but UPS has reduced or even canceled LTL service in certain parts of certain cities -- parcel delivery is said to be unaffected, aside from COVID-19 delays, but business bulk delivery and pickup are affected.

The jury is still out on my state WuHu Flu-wise... I think the Governor did a splendid job, and I think most of the counties did a splendid job (some were little "no we don't need to close the beaches" shitstains though).  Granted the governor and mayors refused to send overflow patients to our residential care/assisted living centers* so we really dodged that bit of stupidity (granted only Miami got overwhelmed and they literally just shipped all their non-covid patients to other hospitals around the state and their overflow covid patients to specific hospitals) so we didn't have the problems of the more population dense cities/states.


* Old farts homes.


I'll admit I've been ignoring the protests that have been happening in my home state (Minneapolis has my full and undivided attention), but then so many blacks down here are legally well armed... so I suspect we won't have the same problems as the Democrat run cities/states.

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 465):

yeah, indiana is a republican stronghold.
we had protests, but they were peaceful and orderly. though some fools in the next town, were lying down in the street, blocking traffic. there have been crowds lingering near certain
 local businesses, and those businesses and police are both vigilant and working together to make sure no mickeymouse horseshit starts here.

60 police with pellet guns and a bobcat came and dispersed a tent city, before all this happened. order is kept pretty well.

Tucson had some black Protesters trying to stop the white rioters! Rumor says the rioters are white supremacists trying to make the blacks look bad and Liberal Protesters trying to create havoc and start civil unrest ...  My first inclination is to shoot the looters, but that would just escalate the mess ...  paint ball guns and nets might be more useful.
Hats off to the police who have sympathized with the protesters and kept things civil ...  but they need to do something about the bad cops and bad cop unions. Most all the Local police chiefs have come out strongly against what they saw on TV in Minneapolis.

Or, and I know this 'unconventional' thinking*... but it's just antifa being antifa.  You know, privileged white shitheads who like to destroy the neighborhoods of the lower class and beat up defenseless old people.




* I don't know why it's so unconventional.  We've had over ten years of watching them do this shit here and abroad.  I mean, just look at Portland.  But for some reason the lefty news media just loves them.  I wonder if CNN still loves them...

i fear that if the unrest continues, and a democratic president is elected in, inheriting this, they will call in the UN "peacekeepers" to come "restore order" meaning indefinite, nationwide martial law, and door-to-door search and seizures, round ups, and shooting it out with anyone resisting the new draconian suspension of civil rights. listen, those governors and mayors, refusing to keep order, are doing so, on order by their shadowlords. they've sold out. this is all a power struggle vs nationalist and globalist interests.

I have some serious issues with those who think the Black helicopters are about to swoop in ...
That said, we do have some serious issues to address, not sweep under the table.
There are certainly some behind the scenes big wheels who try to affect everything... but they aren't as powerful as they think and the public at large can fix things if it works together ... obviously the powers that be don't want to see that.

Yeah, I don't see that happening either.  A lot of people on the left who were sympathetic to antifa are having their windows smashed in right now, and that tends to really sour one's sympathies towards a movement that literally has "Liberals get the bullet too" as a slogan.

they'll learn the hard lesson that they might be down with the cause, but the cause ain't down with them...sometimes at great cost, and far too late.

In reply to Oly (msg # 471):

we need to deal with a marxist media first, seize back control of the culture war, and win it, root out the marxist elements, and establish a new political machine that can actually effect organic democracy. this can either be achieved by a fascist party being elected in (not happening), or somebody going francisco fuckin' franco, seize power for 20-30 yrs, fix shit, then, re-establish a one party, nationalist republic. with the affidavit that upon fixing shit, that the fascist state yield power back to a republic, and that person be hailed a hero of the republic, going down in history as such.. :)

Down under, we just gotta wonder what sort of Democracy it is there. Seems that those who don't like the president are stirring up as much trouble as they can, instead of just waiting until the next election. Are they just a violent minority worried Trump might get back in, or what the 'ell?

Maybe you need some Russian Peacekeepers! lol

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 475):

Over here, and in a number of cities, the out of state rioters are more boogaloo boys than black bloc antifa agitators.

The astroturf militia groups, normally very uncoordinated,  are getting some higher level direction, which makes them more dangerous than they would be on their own.

Meanwhile  USPS has gotten its shit together,  and after spending two weeks shuttling a package back and forth between Nashville and Memphis, have finally got it into an adjacent state to me. Initial delivvery date: May 23 (mailed May 9) new date supposedly today, more like Friday.

On the other hand, UPS has been leaving things to be stolen out of my lobby.

Not gonna happen.  My prediction?  Buckle up for four more years of Trumpiekins, four more years of the left having existential meltdown after existential meltdown, four more years of lying ass lefty media, four more years of Republicans and Democrats being shit in office (with a few exceptions), and everything slowly sliding towards the worst.

Though I have very grave concerns about the EARN IT bill.




A republic.  :P


This is our election year, so getting the word out about how upset they are mmight just be the game plan.


Antifa is a violent minority worried that anyone will be in power.  BLM is a minority group that froths up anytime a black person has a bad day with the police (regardless of the cop's skintones).  The former needs to be stamped out hard, fast, and with minimal mercy.  The later is generally peaceful, they just have no idea how bad they're being used.





I keep hearing people (and especially the lefty media) saying that, but I've yet to see any pic or vid evidence.*  I know this ain't your socmed feed, but if you run into a story verifying this with oics, can you throw them in a Facebook post?  Please.


* I follow a lot of uber lefties, you know the type, the ones calling for "death to all cops" right now.  So I'm getting every pic or vid of every instance of police brutality (even ones being dredged up from 2011)... but not a one has shared a single pic or vid of the Boojahideen† even being out there.  And I know they would, they're terrified of the boogaloo boys.

† Proud Boys, any neo-nazi group, any 'normie' militia gourp, anyone wearing fatigues, ect.


Antifa has been training and getting their shit together for years.  Some of us have been quietly waiting for the day they kicked off a multi-state rioting, burning, looting, assault/murder spree.

I'm just glad Florida has a very high rate of black gun ownership (I mean, we have a higer rate of white gun ownership, but there are a lot of non-white gun owners down here as well).  I like to think of it as "herd immunity" to this sort of fuckery.



USPS has always good down here for me.  It's UPS/DHL/FEDEX that have always been shit.  Leaving packages in the rain, throwing them 20 feet across the lawn at the door, no knock drops, etc.

The Media is hardly Marxist, it is is left leaning in most cases, although FOX is falling over to the right ... add are even more stupid in their news bytes, as many thinking people can see right through the sham. The left leaning newsies are a bit more experienced and practiced, although it isn't too hard to see past their BS either.

None of your solutions will fix things ... what we need is for all the disgruntled independents to create a centrist party and leave the left and right in the gutters. I have heard that some Far Right folks have been found rioting (breaking windows and urging looters) but some far left have been found too ...pity they don't cancel each other out.

4 more years of Trump? If he can pervert the systems to do it, yup.  But I hope he can't ... he is building a strong resistance against him among the quiet center. We shall see ...  My concern is that if any outlying group tries to take control, we end up with our own version of the French Revolution. That would be catastrophic.  Lets hope the center exerts itself and stops this crap. It seems to be happening here in S. Arizona and further North some too.

As for armed citizens ... We are the Russian* National Rifle Associations #1 state for gun ownership.

*They provide a good bit of their funding ... Putin doesn't spend money with out purpose.

The black bloc organization of antifacists are against any form of lawful society, and are extremist. Being anti fascist is not an organization,  it is a point of view, not even an extremist viewpoint, and one I subscribe to, but that is neither here nor there.
I used to be a peace officer. Sworn inby the NYPD.

In this game you will find benevolent despots and ineffective  commu es, aLong with trade unions and empire both good and evil. Yes, I tend to make the well intentioned NPCs in keeping with some of my politics, but they all need help, partly because I recognize that thoae views don't protect you from better armed people with greater numbers, regardless of their affiliation.

"Politics comes out of the barrel of a gun"  Mao Tse Tung

Regrettably this is a growing truth here.

In reply to Oly (msg # 482):

Catching up tomorrow.

Might be getting time to get my 870 out of its case and load up the buckshot, and put the .45 slide on my Witness (because I've got the most ammo in that size).  Fortunately, I live far enough out that if the local "cities" go down the tubes, no one is likely to burn my house -- but my income will go south pretty quick anyway.

From what I've just read, a lot of you will probably think my politics are a little, um, odd.  I'm about as liberal as the boss, except I also firmly believe in the reality of the need, on occasion, to defend personal freedoms with gunfire.  I hate living in redneck country (where gays and trans folk are persecuted) but at least I can own and buy guns...

We have some 'centrist' like 3rd parties, but yeah, i'd love to see a strong centrist party form, unfortunately as long as people believe they have to vote Blue or Red to have a voice... this is the timeline we live in.


I keep hearing that as well, but I've yet to see any pic or vid evidence.


He doesn't even have to 'pervert' the system.  He just has to be less scary than Biden's VP pick.  Becuase you know whoever runs with Biden will be president if Biden wins.  They'll just declare Biden non mentis compos immediately after his hand leaves the bible (hyperbolic statement is hyperbolic, but you know what I eman.  Biden won't get to enjoy being pres for long if he even recognizes he is the pres)...


You should be relatively safe... or maybe safe adjecent.





Exactly.


Agreed... but that first part doesn't describe antifa.  Antifa is an organization and their definition for "fascist" and your's is radically different.  I bet you are damned close to text book, while theirs is literally "anyone not standing with me to smash the state".

By their literal definitions for 'fascist', Starbucks is fascism.  BLM is fascist.  Anyone not in an anarcho-collective trying to smash the state, or at least willing to completely stay out of the way*, is fascist.  And depending on the socpol ideology of a particular antifa org, some antifa orgs are also fascist... because they don't go far enough.


* And they'd probably come after them once the state is gone for "not doing their part".


YOU FASCSIT!  :P





We're probably rather similar.  However, I don't own guns, just because I live in the city and haven't (until recently) ever felt I might need one.

And if you buy one, then you have to learn to use it, learn the laws about using it and practice, practice practice.

If The Narrator is a fascist, Lord only knows what I am with all my military time... of course, I don't care either.
