This Is Minneapolis, 2023

Zach Metzger is a candidate for Minneapolis CIty Council.

This was him after the riot on Sunday:

He’s running for City Council.

To my amazement, he didn’t win endorsement in the uppeer-middle-class “urban life” theme. park that is the 13th Ward

…but five’ll get you ten that if he moves to an open seat in Marcy Holmes, Powderhorn, the West Bank or Longfellow, his political career will get rolling for real.

  1. Metzger is German for “butcher”, which somehow seems appropriate. Given that it’s a German name, I also dare suggest he’s doing quite a bit of cultural appropriation with that hairdo.

  2. Mr. Bubble, denying mulattos their black identity is raciest. Pretty sure Minnesota just passed a law forbidding White Supremacists like you from discriminating against blacks because of their hairdo’s.

    Turn yourself in for reeducation.

  3. How does one defend one’s self with a knife from inside a car?

    You know, this isn’t going to end until driving right through a mob attacking your car is commonly known to be legal and accepted. I’d accept the stipulation that the mob attacks first; ie, you just can’t haul ass through any mob on the street.

  4. … all right I didn’t watch video (with heavily edited crowd scenes). Now I have and yes, the man does indeed step out of the car with a knife. I’d like to know what was happening just before to get the guy to think that getting out of his car with a knife was a good idea. Or thinking perhaps that it was his only option.

  5. He’s a black, Jewish, pro-Palestinian leftist, cosmic dude. You’re gonna have to define which part you wish harm to, lest you be seen to be taking the wrong side here.

    😂

  6. *Naturally, Bikebubble would omit the fact that “Metzger” is actually Yiddish for “butcher”, lest he lose some MAGA prize points.

    🤣

  7. Looks like a settler to me.
    A couple of dozen Thain nationals were among the “settlers” kidnapped by Hamas and dragged into Gaza. Hard to see how they fit the “settler” profiles since they are guest workers and are literally unable to “settle” in Israel.
    There is a an old fantasy book, kind of a classic, called “The Golden.” It was written by a crazy commie (Lucius Shepherd) but it is still pretty good.
    It is about a society of vampires who every year “decant” the perfect mortal victim, “the Golden” and drain her of her blood and collectively share it. In the book the Golden has been “decanted” (e.g. murdered) by an unknown vampire, thus spoiling the decanting, a serious crime.
    The protagonist is a new vampire, who when mortal had been a hyper-rational Sherlock Holmes style detective. He sets out to find the criminal vampire who killed the Golden.
    Why is that pertinent to this topic? What the detective vampire discovers is that there is no answer to why the Golden was murdered and the decanting spoiled. He discovers that at the heart of vampiric existence there is utter madness that cannot be comprehended and neatly fit into rational categories of motive, opportunity and will.
    The Jew hatred of Hamas is like that.

  8. “ Hard to see how they fit the “settler” profiles since they are guest workers and are literally unable to “settle” in Israel.”

    Right you are, MMP. The Israelis strictly restrict immigration to Jews. Buta they stand 100% behind the invasion of Weimerica’s borders by any 75 IQ, 3rd world grifter with the wherewithal to make it to Mexico.

    See, our Greatest Ally’s™️ right to an ethnically pure homeland is unquestioned. But ours is White Supremacy™️.

    MAGA 🇮🇱

  9. Of course the Israelis have strict limits on immigration, Blade. The explicitly want to keep it a Jewish state, for obvious historical reasons.

  10. Right, MMP.

    And White people living in Weimerica are not allowed to discuss our history.

  11. “ And White people living in Weimerica are not allowed to discuss our history.”

    Much less protect it for our progeny.

  12. I don’t blame the Jews for making a specifically ethnic state. The Nazis tried to wipe them out, root and branch, and no one cared. The Nazis raided convents and sent nuns who had a single converted Jewish grandparent to the death camp. Religious Jew, secular Jew, it didn’t matter, off you go to the ovens.

  13. “ I don’t blame the Jews for making a specifically ethnic state…”

    Me neither. But I blame them for blaming me for wanting the same thing.

    And they sure have made a damn profitable franchise from something which no one cared about.

  14. Blade, you and I have different ideas about Jews. I think of them as the last survivors of the bronze age. No more Egyptians, Phoenicians, Hittites, Persians, Spartans, or Attic Greeks, etc, but the Jews remain. They are doing something right. They remain.
    As a Christian I think Jews are a reminder that God intervenes in human history. We aren’t animals.

  15. Someone aught to tell the Egyptians, Iranians and Greeks they’ve been superseded by the Hebrews.

  16. Those are, at best, iron age peoples. Don’t be fooled by the name.

  17. “Those are, at best, iron age peoples.”

    So, the nuclear threat posed by the raving mad Persians in Iran is just an Israeli smokescreen?

  18. I am astounded to see that our host continues to allow bigotry on the scale of Kremlin Tom’s to continue here. Yes, Kremlin “Nuremburg” Tom, “Metzger” also means butcher in Yiddish, like thousands of words in both languages, as one would expect, given that Yiddish is based on Middle German.

    Pretty darned incredible language, really, to stay relatively stable for the past 7-800 years or so. Pretty darned incredible people to keep two languages relatively stable (Hebrew being the other) when most languages change quite a bit over a few hundred years. It is as if they had to stick together due to wannabe Cossacks like Kremlin Tom, praying “Lord, bless and keep the Tsar and Kremlin Tom….far away from us.”

  19. Yes, Kremlin “Nuremburg” Tom, “Metzger” also means butcher in Yiddish, like thousands of words in both languages, as one would expect, given that Yiddish is based on Middle German.

    Isn’t Yiddish a Jewish language, Mr. Bubble?

    lmao…look at that dude’s honker; he is kosher af. Just admit you fucked up again and we’ll go on to your next embarrassment.

    Given your recent shameless, unAmerican fervor for censorship, I’m completely unsurprised you’re whining for Merg to save you from my sharp eye and wide reaching scholarship. But really, you can’t hide under skirts forever.

    Why aren’t you on a flight to Tel Aviv to support your allies?

  20. Y’know, to get a little bit back on topic, I am looking at first analysis of why the October 7 Hamas attack was so successful.
    It’s looking a lot like Israel fell asleep at the switch. Their defenses against incursions from Gaza anticipated a surprise attack by maybe a few dozen terrorists. Unspoken is that the Israelis thought that any large scale attack as we saw on Oct. 7 would be detected ahead of time by Israeli intelligence.
    Also the terrorists made the command center that was supposed to coordinate a response to a terrorist incursion a primary target of their attack. It took about three hours to get the proper response organized.
    So this was an epic fail by the Israelis. I don’t think it will happen again. The Israelis are usually better about firing dumb ass bureaucrats in uniform than we are.

  21. Maybe, like voting, if you squirt tears just a little harder Mr. Bubble, all your dreams will come true……try

  22. I am astounded to see that our host continues to allow bigotry on the scale of Kremlin Tom’s to continue here.

    And, meanwhile, in another thread, we all shake our heads and wonder why “Amy Klobuchar and her authoritarian proposal to censor Substack and Reddit” can find purchase among the voters in this state.

  23. “So this was an epic fail by the Israelis. I don’t think it will happen again. The Israelis are usually better about firing dumb ass bureaucrats in uniform than we are.”

    They’re also better at slaughtering the fuck out of their opponents than we are…as long as we keep supplying them with the munitions to do so, they’ll use them. Don’t blame them; if I owned a major power, I’d milk them for all they are worth, too.

  24. Curious….

    What if we pass a a law stating no dual citizen can be elected to any US city, county, state or federal office?

    How could any Patriot™ object?

    LMMFAO!

  25. My takeaway from the history of the Jews in the 20th Century is that they found out the hard way that every country in the world would remain silent as they were wiped out, root and branch. So they grabbed a country they had a plausible claim to and that is is their last redoubt. It’s hard to argue that Jews can get by with international assurances that they are protected from genocide.
    I think that you are swallowing Muslim propaganda, Blade, if you think that Israel would collapse w/o US military aid. This is survival for them, and they have nukes. Lots of nukes. Lots of nukes and multiple ways to deliver them.
    American support or no American support, they aren’t going away. And the October 7 attack makes it more likely that Israel will take drastic action to prevent Iran from building its own nukes.
    I just calls ’em like I see ’em.

  26. “My takeaway from the history of the Jews in the 20th Century is that they found out the hard way that every country in the world would remain silent as they were wiped out, root and branch. ”

    But why does everyone want to wipe them out, MMP? Why have they been kicked out of 109 countries…sometimes more than once? Did they just suddenly decide “Hey! Let’s get the Jews!”?

    Why just the Jews? Why hasn’t that happened to *any* other race? WTF Is going on?

  27. Not everyone is buying what the neocons are selling jdm, and not everyone is bending over to lick Israel’s (or Zelensky’s) boots.

    “You can say you care about America, but if you’re sending $100 billion to foreign countries right now, you’re lying.”

    ~Tucker Carlson

    To paraphrase Carlson; “Not our circus, not our monkeys”

  28. Not everyone is buying what the neocons are selling jdm

    I get that. I don’t either. My problem was the source and the article. It was a straight-up anti-Trump opinion piece using all the usual journo-swine tricks (like the “some people say”).
