The first time I heard of antifa was around 2002 when I was hanging out and making fun of the quacks on SF Indymedia. For a group that doesn’t exist, they sure have done a terrible job of keeping their name and motives a secret.

Maybe the Portland mayor won’t take them serious since they don’t exist. I really don’t see a down side to any of this however it ends.

So, all of those videos showing people like the Proud Boys, or just conservatives in general, taking an ass whipping by some thug with a stick, that y’all cheer I might add, is just conservatives beating up other conservatives??

Wow, who’d a thunk it.

Moonbats are reaching the point of pragmatism where their beliefs fit whatever is needed at that point in a sentence, and may change later in the same sentence.

Anarcho-Capitalists, but they are a little nutty, an offshoot of Libertarianism, usually support police and are generally authoritarian, in support of Capital.

21. That's right. No right-wing anarchists.

There are plenty of righty nihilists and vandals, but no actual anarchists. This is because the Right depends on authoritarianism and rigid hierarchies for it's very breath. Those things, and inequality, are the essence of what anarchists have always opposed.
Really, chaos is not the same as anarchy. Only in comic books.

39. have you?

I think I'd call them something else. But if that's what they call themselves, wotcha gonna do. Anarchists have been the false target of a lot of police operations going way back to Haymarket, May Day. Sacco & Vanzetti, etc. I think they've taken enough hits for things they never did. Some are bitterly anti-govt, that's true, but you've met Boogers who claim to be anarchist? Maybe they likewise use a horizontal organisation or something, but Race War is not an anarchist ideal or tactic.
This alleged group (could be just one dude?) that threatened the Portland mayor just exposed themselves for a federal conspiracy charge. Most real anarchists are a little more savvy than that, but the RWrs seem go for that kind of thing.

14. To those who dismiss this: Portland does have a community of Blac Bloc anarchists

And their primary motivation seems to be a nihilistic desire to cause chaos and destruction out of hatred for all police and government.

They are the ones who cause trouble at night after peaceful protestors go home. They are the ones who caused the Moms (forget the name of the group) to wear yellow shirts to stand out from the disruptors.

They are the ones who fight with the Proud Boys- without them, it would be easier for all to see the PB’s for the thugs they are.

19. Anarchist? Anti fascist?

How in the hell do they use them in the same sentence meaning something together? Their goals and beliefs are very different. The people who are claiming to be any of those working together are something completely different.

They need to look up the meanings of each in the dictionary.

Quote
Humanist_Activist (7,538 posts)

20. Uhm, Anarchists are, by definition, anti-authoritarian, and hence most would be, by default...

anti-fascist.

Don't confuse Anarchism as a political movement and position with roots tracing back over 100 years with layman's term of using Anarchy as a synonym for chaos.

ON EDIT: Not saying that the people who posted this threat were either, most likely false flag or some fascists trying to discredit antifa groups.

23. They call themselves that.

I don't know why. I lived in Portland for 35 years, recently moved. They're ruining the city. Businesses are leaving, restaurants no longer want to be there.. It's like Detroit in the 90's in a majority white city.

Quote
Humanist_Activist (7,538 posts)

25. Uhm, hyperbolic much? In addition, who is they? On top of that...

how is it in anyway like Detroit in the 1990s?

Do you even know why Detroit declined starting earlier than the 1990s, by the way?

Quote
Star Member BlueLucy (716 posts)

27. Not at all hyperbolic

PDX is my city that I love. Portland is known for their good food and drinks. Like Detroit and the auto industry..restaurants and baristas are leaving and not coming back. Also bullets flying in the streets everyday. lots of crime. It's a damn shame.

Quote
Humanist_Activist (7,538 posts)

28. Uhm, what?

Violent Gun Crime is trending upward nationwide, mostly related to spikes in unemployment and the pandemic destroying local economies, that also leads to businesses closing and or leaving many areas. But sure its anarchists.

Quote

31. Uhm, that shows that Portland is matching trends of the 30 largest metro areas...

sad, yes, but most large metros have been stagnant or declining over the years.

36. As far as I know, its still one of the safest cities in the country...

38. The problem is that its economic instability, both local and national, that is what is leading to uptick in crime in general, and the easy availability of firearms is, combined with this upswing in crime, is leading to more shootings and murders.

Up until that point, crime has been trending downward nationwide for years, there's probably a floor with shootings, there are way to many guns in this country, but economic stability leads to less crime. Poverty reduction and reducing income and racial disparities would reduce political instability and most property crime. Reducing the circulation of guns would reduce crimes involving them. You seem to be focusing on the wrong things.

First. I’ll bet the gun ownership among rural people vs city folk is WAY higher percentage wise yet we’re not killing each other at the same rate, why?

Second. If these people REALLY believe these are right wing folks, why don’t they simply demand the cops shout them?  I’m good with it. Whether they’re right or left, you can’t let these assholes destroy your city, businesses, and neighborhoods.
