Ah, so you're just butthurt that you got called a cuckold then? Gotcha. But it is what it what is.
Meanwhile the US is still undersiege and you guys are still doing fuck all to deal with it.
There's nothing most of us can do about. The spineless response of the portland city leadership is a problem for the people of portland to resolve, I can't do anything to pressure the leadership of a city and state I don't live in.
For now, its adorable that you think it won't ratchet up again as soon as is convenient.
Define "convenient". The current tensions certainly didn't come at the best time, it's too far away from the election to have a sure shoot at influencing the general electorate and it's goldfish like memory, and the sudden and highly hypocritical about face that the media and democrats did when they flipped from condemning lockdown protesters to praising BLM.
"my playbook" is not something I'm endorsing, I'm more lamenting that we've reached this point. But hey while we're on the topic.
it worked for about eight centuries in Japan, a millennium in Rome and about five decades in Taiwan and well Chile did pretty damn good. Argentina admittedly shit the bed, but that's what happens when you let schizophrenics run your dictatorship and drug lords run the military outfits on the streets.
Which is why I'm so alarmed...Because when you people fail to act, you make gilded ages look real sexy.
I'm not too familar with Japan and Rome, but I feel like I would know if roving paramilitary death squads were a common feature, and Chile did precisely the opposite of "good".
I said we needed vigilantism to deal with this, which the AAA started was before it became the AAA (It was a fusion of several civilian militias brought under Rega's umbrella), it became something else entirely as the situation escalated. But hey there were other Argentina right wing groups who conducted vigilantism I could cite, none of them have articles sadly.
The left as a whole still hasn't shut up about that one lady that got run over at charlottesville, and was using her as a rallying cry and rhetorical bludgeon before the body was even cold, on top of thier relentless progandizing about right wing terrorism. Why would giving them even more evidence and a new set of maryters work?
Not wanting to commit national suicide = Cowardice..ah yes...It certainly is cowardly not to want to see this nation survive so it can become strong and healthy again when the dust settles.
It won't survive. Once you legitimize violent, murderous vigantism as a valid response to cases like this, you're opening a box that you can never close again.
Selectively ignore the dozens of other cities on fire, the malicious prosecution of honest citizens defending themselves against the mob and the murder of a mother with a toddler because she said all lives matter...Or the calls for genocide against whites and Jews by BLM leaders and the constant threats, supported by members of congress to "tear down this country" to maintain your narrative of moral cowardice.
By all means
Really, that's you're case? In any given week I could cherry pick a handful of ugly incidents and bits of bad news to paint a picture of certain and immanent doom, doesn't make it the case. The media's been doing that for the past 4 years and has been full of it every single time, why should I believe you're any different?
