Apparently tomorrow Portland will be erupting in "Far Right" vs "Far Left" violence, Gangs of New York style

in #dtube6 years ago (edited)

Apparently tomorrow is bringing a couple large groups of violent ruffians into Portland's streets to brawl it out over their supposed "ideologies." The media refers to neo-nazis, antifa (kinda redundant), white nationalists, and "anti-government" groups (love how they lump that odd-one-out), with the "Proud Boys" having announced the initial event.

In case you haven't heard of Gangs of New York


I'd like to note ahead of time that I swear a few times in this video, which I generally try not to do. Just a head's up.

Here's Andy Ngo's (the journalist that antifa attacked in Portland) interview on Joe Rogan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cI2EHMy1lgs

Sounds more like "gangs of narrow-mindedness" style. Just doesn't have the same ring to it though :-)

Just another crappy day in rule by forcelandia.
I think it is very important that folks get out there and get their rise up on.
Perhaps, once the spectacle is grand enough, these 'otherwise pointless' displays of naked aggression will appall the rest of the people enough to reject rule through killing everybody that dissents to your rule.
Clearly people in the streets is the surest route to political change.

Spiritual change won't come until enough people pull their minds out of the crapitalust's mindwarp to see more truth and are forced to choose a side.
Majority good, or majority bad.

I'd sure love to have a drone for that big todo tomorrow.
I hope you go, you may be one of the few embracing a message of love.
I sure hate hearing that the anarchists are losing their neighborhoods up there, I have wanted to see it for sooo long.
An island of sanity in an ocean of well adjusted abnormals.

I too am saddened by people's low consciousness.

But I do believe it represents an opportunity and I do believe it's a sign for those of us aware to work together to help each other provide alternatives... for people to latch onto when the shit does hit the fan for them.

Could not agree more. These event's (if you can call them that) are set up to unsettle the positive vibes that are increasing, it's probably not chance it's in Portland to be honest. Bring a bit anger and hate to the area to unsettle the good work happening 💯🐒

Very well said, irrefutable logic imho. The question remains as to how best to get others to see it, to be honest enough with themselves TO see it.
It's what I think most about.

Will be watching to see what happens in Portland today. May someone find two brain cells to click together.

That is the question, and trust me I'm constantly working different angles of it haha!

This is exactly the sort of thing that lights a fire under my ass to start my podcast, and start having conversations that move in that direction, on record.

I would very much like to brainstorm with you on this... and/or help anyway I can with the idea.
I may be crazy... but I actually believe we could logic it out.

Upvoted, about 4 minutes into the video so far, good stuff! :)

We will see if the antifa is gonna fight with the cops and get smashed again.

Funny that antifa flies the hammer and sickle.

Going to be an interesting day With the bridges being shut down.

There's a lot of strange comedy/irony with antifa & the way they do things. A battle between a an oxymoronic group and a group started as a joke... Keeping Portland weird for sure haha!

Apparently 100% of the police force was called onto duty today too. Torn between going to watch the show and enjoying the peace & quiet.
