Not a riot

Nope.
From the same article:
"Speaking Saturday, Minneapolis police spokesman John Elder, however, said that sometimes people arrested will provide false information. He says background checks are showing some people arrested have records from other areas."Interesting that there are any people from other states coming here to be in riots. I don't usually think of that as being a good guest.

Oh joy.

Isn’t Antifa like... all white guys?
Go watch some of the videos. More and more of the violence is by whites.

Wasn't Portland also?
However, in my neighborhood, that's not the case.

I blame all of progressivism's evils on high status white folk who've fetishized their own moral superiority and aren't self-aware about their own pretension of being at the top of the social hierarchy. I place relatively little blame on the human tools they use as fodder in their culture wars.

And Antifa? In your taxonomy they are clearly fodder. Do you really hold them morally unaccountable?

I don’t know how different they are from kids who would have fought with the Spanish Republicans in the 30s or Che’s forces in Bolivia or Angola in the 60s.
Not anywhere near as committed or brave, of course. What I mean by ‘not different’ is they’re just as deluded and have just as romanticized a view of what they’re doing.
And I don’t think they’re high status for the most part. On the contrary, and like most revolutionaries, they aspire to destroy the current order and replace it with one where they are in fact on top of the pyramid, though they are not self aware enough to realize that.
