It's a cold civil war starting to go hot.

Gonna get hotter when the pro 2nd Amendment groups get no other choice but defend themselves.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

And there are a lot more pro-2nd Amendment citizens after the CoVid-19 fiasco. Funny indeed how the Democrats are suddenly in favor of letting people outside if they're gonna riot.

Shows it's not about their constituents, or even the American citizenry as a whole; but civil unrest and destruction of the countries economy, society, or both.

That whole 'He's bought out by the Russians!' was just projection. They seem to advocate for Communism, Socialism, and the destruction of the country that has granted them power and freedom from the get go.

Time to start putting stock in rope and pine.

Right now, I'm just glad I live two hours away from the nearest major cities. I'm hearing some bad things from friends that live in the Richmond/DC area and..well..we're all seeing the news. Glad I stocked up on ammo back when.

It has hit FurAffinity members. The store in Minneapolis where   Heywulf worked, for example, has been looted and burned to the ground... https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/9507969/

I mean, it hit FA members long before this. You know how many professed AntiFA members there are on this site, much less supporters?

The mere mention of going against Antifa usually got you a ban at least a temporary one.

Not really. I tend not to follow those sorts, and when a public show of support shows up in my submissions queue, I tend to unfollow the artist involved. Do you have any numbers? I'm not inclined to research the matter; it would simply depress me. :/

No, this was around 2016/17. Suffice to say I had to unfollow around a half-dozen artists and never bothered to get a precise count on the number of supportive comments they garnered.

...and that's why I rely on TnA and cute to keep an audience.

Likewise, plus a dry sensayuma.

Same. My wife thankfully saw the writing on the wall and got us prepped up for a move away from a city near one of Antifa's HQ during the height of the Covid thing. I talked to a former coworker who lives in the city I worked in and he said it's riots and burnings throughout.

It's odd that these Progressive cities, the ones where things are supposed to be the best, are the ones destroying all the places low and medium (and in some cases, homeless) people live and work.

For being so tolerant and wise, they sure seem to be lashing out against the wrong group of people.

I bought a house and retired to a small community out in the country, far away from major cities. It should just see me out.

Three years of growth and prosperity, best economy in the world, lowest black unemployment ever recorded. Best thing the Dems have is a fumbling, incoherent boob with a history of groping little girls on camera. Obviously has to be stopped through violence or they'll never get power back.

Fortunately, some of us study history, eh?

Nothing ever changes, for those who don't learn and adjust.

Life is a comedy for those who think, and a tragedy for those who feel. ;)

And an opportunity for those who seize it.

And those of us who study history are doomed to watch it repeat because the majority of people do not.

Damned good corollary, that. You should send it in to Bartlett's. :D

Ehh, I don't really trust his judgement

"It's Complicated" though lol

It matters not that Tim posts things I disagree with in some (quite a few) cases, the point is that he does his best, many times a day. Hope the guy keeps on trucking for a long time.

As I'm watching that video he mentioned that normal people will be moving out to the country to get away from this insanity and when you look at other events in history, he's right, and when the people who can afford to leave do, they leave behind the poor in their burned out city who all cry "WHITE FLIGHT!!!" and blame the horrid conditions on "Them rich folk what abandoned us!" This begins the cycle usually where the city goes to hell further till wealthy folks (usually white) see opportunity and come in and buy up whole neighborhoods for pennies (on the news a year or two ago they had realtors showing houses in Chicago selling for $1 and the interviewer asked if you'd lose money buying it and the realtor said "Ya, probably") in order the rebuild them which the locals will cry "Gentrification!!!" and whine they don't want their neighborhoods "destroyed" or to be priced out of them.
So thats how I'm calling it, though the only bad part of it is when NYC collapses, all those rats are going to flee out into the country and bring with them the disease and mental illness and crime that is what destroyed NYC in the first place and kept Democrats voted into office there and the state at large. Its like all the Californians fleeing that S.H. of a state and moving to Republican controlled ones because they have better every thing, but they'll bring their ideology with them and just repeat the process there.

tim already reported that a lot of rich people have GTFO'd from NYC - oh they're going to have fun making their municipal budgets add up

It's easier to leave than to fight others' desire to commit suicide, particularly if it involves being sacrificed by the suicidal to prolong their own deaths.

It goes by many names: #walkaway is the most recent, "white flight" is another, "Who is John Galt?" is a statement and not a question. But ultimately it's the same basic idea.

I've been following Tim over at EweTube, for awhile now.
Good person who seems to hold fast to the 'Center', while calling-out the BS from both the far Left AND Right.

What-Ever. Not interested in politics and bullshit.

Then you shouldn't click on his journals, eh?

I will remove him from my watchlist immediately, I'm sure that would help.

But then how shall you know when to tell people how little you care and look soooo cooool and aloof?!

I'll just post another journal. Problem fixed, nuff said?

If you had as many followers as AlexSpastic and weren't clearly trying to use his journal as a platform it might.

Well, OK then.

I've been watching a split starting to appear on furry art sites where they declare "Unwatch me" if you do not support BLM. Then when they are called out for their own Racism, they get all offended, butt hurt, or more commonly just block you. They don't want to hear it, don't want to see it. It's either you're on their side, or you aren't. It's a damn FURRY ART SITE! o_O if it's hitting that, the real stuff is getting more serious than people want to admit.
