Leftist Chutzpah, re: Portland

Hypocrisy. 

Behold the Left:

That’s The Huffington Post.  Improve experience by suspending commenting.  Gee, I guess they’re losing the debate, so…

Sort of like Greg Johnson “banning” people and refusing to debate them.

Anyway, what the Left is whining about this time - and what they don't want comments about because those comments would expose leftist hypocrisy - is that, according to the Left, the "Proud Boys" and other rightist groups are being allowed to "be violent with impunity" in Portland; the police are standing back and doing nothing.

Now, the chutzpah there is incredible.  For weeks, the Left has been running wild in America with near-impunity, particularly in Portland and Seattle - rioting, vandalism, attempted murder, assault and battery, lasers shined in eyes, anti-White racial harassment, wielding weapons, repeated race-based violations of federal fair housing laws to try and force Whites out of "gentrified" previously-Black neighborhoods, attacks against police, hate crimes against Whites, blocking traffic, and open treasonous insurrection against the US government with their violence-ridden "autonomous zone."  All of that with near impunity.  For the last four years of the administration of Antifa Don Trump, there has been anarcho-tyranny - the radical Left has been allowed to run wild with impunity, and when rightists, including Antifa Don's own deluded supporters, fight back, it are they, and they alone, who are arrested, prosecuted, and persecuted.  But, now, briefly, in Portland, we have a single moment of pure anarchy instead of anarcho-tyranny - BOTH sides are being allowed, more or less, to do what they want.  Very well.  And the outcome is such as that anyone could predict - in a fair and open battle, without anarcho-tyranny intervention, the Right comes out on top.  This proves, once and for all, that Antifa is, and always has been, part of the System, a branch of local, state, and federal government, street fighters for global capitalism, etc. They have achieved everything because they are protected by the System that they are a part of.  But, given a specific situation (Portland police losing their patience because they have been abandoned by the same System they and Antifa both serve) in which official protection is briefly withdrawn from the Left, and we see that they start whining in The Huffington Post how they are being "victimized" and "not protected by the police"- the same police they want to defund (as there is competition between the two branches of the System - why have both doing the same job?).

The lesson here is what people on the Right have been saying all along - the real problem is anarcho-tyranny, not anarchy.  If there was anarchy, then the Right could fill in the niche space left by the absence of state authority and institute their own law and order; however, the current System of anarcho-tyranny is an alliance between the System and the Left - however an alliance that is sometimes unstable when factions of the System see their own interests threatened by the leftist violence they encourage.

The carnivore diet.

I often mock Der Movement as a modern form of Ostara. And, as always, the other shoe drops.  The only thing worse than a Type I is a homosexual Type I.  Puts new meaning in the term “fetishist” eh?

A Western about moralpathy.

Gore Vidal in Julian (sort of paraphrasing Machiavelli):

One curious aspect of human society is that preventive measures are seldom taken to avert disaster, even web the exact nature of the approaching calamity is perfectly plain.

One can consider all sorts of easily foreseen "movement" disasters with respect to that quote.

An observation - True enough, the USSR was repressive throughout its entire existence, but there is this interesting dichotomy: It was when the USSR was led by non-Slavs (Jews, Georgians, mongrels like Lenin, etc.) that there was the mass murder of millions of Russian and Ukrainian Slavs, but after the Slavs took the reigns of power after the death of Stalin, the mass murder stopped (although of course repression remained). I suppose that this dichotomy is purely a coincidence - right?
