A flyer circulated by “Anti”-Fa protesters at Berkeley:
The people in black suits with gas masks are “the most vulnerable”. Ayep.

Cranking Open The Big Brass Nozzle Of Truth Since 2002
There is a crew of underachievers on the 4chan message board that have proved themselves better at outing the identities of leftist gang members than the cops.
They comb the web looking to match clothing, eyes, moles, tattoos and other identifying marks not covered by masks.
There is one leftist thug (a college professor natch) that was identified by 4chan in video of him hitting people with a bicycle lock in Berkely. He’s headed for prison.
4chan’s not my cup of tea, but it’s fun seeing them poke every self-important group and/or the critics of 4chan. They’re not folks I’d like to aggravate.
That anit-fa is worried about harassment and being terrorized is too funny
The phrase “legitimate threat” is critical.
You must not have been the aggressor (the one taking photos).
You must believe being doxxed will cause you great bodily harm.
You must not be able to retreat from the aggressor (trapped by crowd).
The elements of self-defense have been met. You are justified in force to defend yourself. Go ahead and beat the photographer.
Of course, that’s not how the law works, but that’s the mind-set that’s being promoted. That’s why violence is deemed an appropriate response to photographs. It’s a dangerous mindset
“Antifa” members are learning the hard way that the best way to avoid being known as a fascist thug is….not to be one. Roll tape, and show the pictures. If a doofus from Pensacola Christian College gets expelled for flying the Southern Cross with other doofii flying the Swastika, doofii from Berkeley flying the hammer & sickle deserve the same fate when they attack the MLK Jr. building on the first day of Black History Month.
I am feeling particularly vulnerable today, perhaps beating someone up will make me feel less so.
Greg, I believe that is known as “compensating.”
“Most vulnerable” meaning that their student aid or public trough job may be put in jeopardy.
There are a lot of Americans who are prepared to tear down and destroy the establishment in order to change it. That is the commonality between some black protesters of police shootings, and some voters who elected Trump to ‘send a message’ by disrupting the Washington elite. We have not seen this level of political atomization, political violence, and disestablishmentarianism since the late 1960s. These periods have often led to higher crime rates as the establishment loses its grip, sacrificing a degree of order. Do you have trouble picturing political violence to match Chicago in 1968 at the next Republican nominating convention? I do not.
Emery, did you mean like what happened at the 2008 Republican Convention in St. Paul? Leftists don’t need any reason riot and cause problems. Since most of them are miscreants already, that last step to violence isn’t a big one.
Social disorder correlates with central bank easy money.
Take a shot at me. You will lose.

As in 1968, the violence will be coming from the left. Just like it was, just like it is, just like it always will be.
If antifa really had “the people” behind them, “the people” would have their backs. You can’t be in the vanguard and be in the majority. If “the people” really held the reins of power in the US, it would look more like Mussolini’s Italy than like modern day, socialist Sweden.
The establishment runs the police and justice systems in all societies; that is one definition of who the establishment is. When the establishment loses the confidence of the public, and feels itself despised, it falls back into a defensive shell. That leads to poor communication between the public and the police, and fewer successful attempts at de-escalation in armed confrontations between the police and the citizenry. An establishment lacking in self-confidence lacks the political reserves to police its own ranks and purge itself of a racist cop or prosecutor. When the police adopt a bunker mentality, and when bad cops are not dismissed, crime goes up because the police are less effective. The moral and ethical barrier that a criminal must cross to commit crimes is also lower when there is little respect for the establishment
To summarize eTASS pining for a dictatorial regime into words by Cartman:
Respect my authoritah!
Macron was elected for being not Le Pen, not of the establishment Left, and not of the establishment Right.
Donald Trump was elected for being not Hilary, not of the establishment Left, and not of the establishment Right.
Both were elected on an anti-establishment platform. Much of the establishment remains, and will resist reform. Also important is that their voters agree on the need to tear down the existing establishment, but disagree on what is to replace it. Having been elected for such negative reasons, they will struggle to convince the public that they have a mandate for any particular positive change.
Trump and Macron are different, of course, as are the establishments they wish to reform, although both must tear down an existing order before change can proceed. Macron did present a legislative agenda in the election, and he can claim that he has a mandate to enact it. Trump did not present a coherent legislative agenda; he campaigned more on attitude. But it is a stretch for either to claim that they were elected because of their legislative agenda. They were favored over establishment candidates because voters wished to damage the establishment. It is probably more realistic to assume that their roles will be to tear down the existing order. Certainly that is true with Trump, but I fear that it is unrealistic to hope for much more than that from Macron. They are each limited by the tenor of the politics of their day, which is destructive, not constructive. The shape of the new order is more likely to come from their successors

Strange vs Moore. Wall, Repeal, Tax reform, Reg via fiat roll back, Conservative judge… Nothing to see here. Reality does not exist for the eTASS types who take a healthy dose of libturd talking points every morning to get them through the day.
I know the southern states really dislike the prevailing stereotypes, but they work so hard to perpetuate them.
If you mean stereotype of hard working, honest, patriotic and constitution defending people, then yes, I am very glad that stereotype is perpetuated in deference to your elitist, soci@list, amoral, defeatist and self-destructive one.
