It's a social bowel movement. They are sinking their own ship with their illegal and childish antics. That you don't see this belies your age. I saw this is the late 60's, the anarchists thought they were changing everything and they changed nothing except to make the country even more conservative. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | I found this explanation of Antifa. https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/16104/antifa-history https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/16149/antifa-history-part-2 "The modern Antifa movement derives its name from a group called Antifaschistische Aktion, founded in May 1932 by Stalinist leaders of the Communist Party of Germany. The group was established to fight fascists, a term the party used to describe all of the other pro-capitalist political parties in Germany. The primary objective of Antifaschistische Aktion was to abolish capitalism, according to a detailed history of the group." The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

Well, they are changing legislation and police policies all across America... I would call that winning even if it does not last forever. And, people are excusing the rioting because of the "success" of their movement. Even many conservatives are jumping on board.... |

People are joining the cause of police reform and equal treatment of all, not the morons creating illegal zones where they want to take care of themselves but are of course incapable of doing so and not the idiots tearing things down illegally. The silence from the left about the destruction is loud. Their unwillingness to move forward for political purposes is even louder. Instead of welcoming a debate on police reform as presented in the Senate, they decided to not even let it come up for discussion and amendment. What should have happened is they should debate this bill and the House should debate theirs...then make compromises. |

Nah. They're TALKING about it, has any real change happened? Has even one PD been defunded and disbanded? These BLM thugs are not rocket scientists, they're easily fooled with talk and shiny objects.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Sure, the Dixie Chicks removed "Dixie" from their name Although, isn't "Chicks" a bit misogynistic? https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/25/arts/music/dixie-chicks-change-name.html?smtyp=cur&smid=tw-nytimesarts |

Look at all of the cities pulling down statues and monments that are deemed controversial for various reasons (often not even of Confederate related stuff).... Not to mention local police departments disbanding (look at Minneapolis). There are changes happening... Most are negative... Luckily I don't think any Federal legistlstion (some of which is crazyness) will pass with the stalemate, but the local govements are quickly latching onto the wave and changing structures.... |

Look at Trump making that illegal to deface or tear them down. Jail time and a $10K fine. "There are changes happening..." Smoke and mirrors to make the dullards happy. Shiny objects to distract them while they find something else to throw a temper tantrum over. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
