It is not, as many think, a fear of being exposed as fraudulent or illegitimate—or otherwise of losing the debate or looking bad in the challenging conversation—that prevents those who have internalized a significant amount of the Critical Social Justice Theory mindset that prevents these sorts of things from happening. There’s a mountain of Theoretical reasons that they would avoid all such activities, and even if those are mere rationalizations of a more straightforward fear of being exposed as fraudulent or losing, they are shockingly well-developed and consistent rationalizations that deserve proper consideration and full explanation.

In other words, we rational people just can't win. The only solution is to eliminate the Critical Social Justice paradigm entirely--kill them all, as it were. They cannot be reasoned with at all, and any attempt to do so will be rebuffed. Since capitulating to their worldview will destroy all we hold dear, that route cannot be followed, and they are not capable of changing.

'sit-down and have conversations'

Yes, Mr. Lib. You sit down and let me swing this Louisville Slugger at your face like a T-ball. Then, we'll converse. *checking to be sure the label is facing correctly*

Now that the police in Portland have been deputized as Federal Marshals and they are making some progress and arrests,look what happpens.

Ultimately, it's up to us, the rational and reasonable, to expose the woke folks as rabid and overzealous kooks. Calm, rationale and focused points of argument is all it takes for them to flip-a-switch, go to DEFCON-1 and freak-out. Watch any Jordan Peterson or Douglas Murray, let alone a Joe Rogan or, Andrew Schulz will give you enough talking points to arm-up on.

Systematically, Federal gov needs to re-write how funding and grants are given to universities; Dept of Education needs to start dropping a hammer. This woke culture BS has been stewing and pressure tested in academia for a solid twenty years, many of the germinators are in public universities. While the states can fund their schools how they see fit, a private universities can do as they please, Federal funds should come under greater scrutiny and criticism. The harsh reality is, this country has too many universities/colleges, many are reliant on out-of-state students, foreign students and government supplements to get by year after year.

Sergeant punched in face, officers sprayed with chemical irritant during unlawful assembly in N. Portland

https://www.kptv.com/news/serg...e6-b72d5dcc3527.html

PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) - Several officers were assaulted and two dozen people were arrested during an unlawful assembly outside the Portland Police Association building.

Police said they learned about a planned, unpermitted march starting on Monday at Kenton Park, located at 8417 North Brandon Avenue.

At 8:45 p.m., officers arrived to the park and saw people carrying shields, wearing body armor and helmets.

Police said to lower the likelihood of people using the shields to protect those committing crimes, officers moved into the park and seized numerous shields.

Some people in the crowd interfered and were arrested.

According to police, officers saw a silver Subaru sedan, which was marked with red cross insignia, associated with the gathering driving dangerously in the area and conducted a traffic stop.

Officers located a loaded handgun inside the sedan. The driver, identified as Jason Dye, 40, of Portland, was cited for driving uninsured, failure to signal turn, and failure to properly use safety belt. Police said the investigation into the gun is ongoing.

As officers left the park, people from the gathering threw water bottles at them.

The crowd was advised via loudspeaker that they were welcome to demonstrate in the park, but were not permitted for a march in the street.

Shortly after, the crowd walked on the sidewalk to the Portland Police Association (PPA) building, located in the 1800 block of North Lombard Street.

Via loudspeaker, the crowd was notified that the sidewalk in front of the PPA was closed and that North Lombard was open to vehicular traffic and they were not to block the roadway.

Despite warnings, several people moved into the street and attempted to block traffic. Police said officers moved in and made more arrests.

According to police, officers were met with "violent resistance." People threw rocks and other hard objects at officers.

Police said one sergeant was punched in the face and was taken to an area hospital for treatment.

Five officers were sprayed with some kind of chemical irritant, according to police.

Shortly after, police declared an unlawful assembly and the crowd was told to disperse or be subject to arrest, citation, or crowd control agents.

More arrests were made. Police said some of those arrested were wearing heavy body armor with rifle plating, were marked with "press" insignia and carrying a "press" pass, and possessed weapons such as knives and OC spray.

Keep poking the bear. We know how this eventually ends.

I hope there was a lot of police brutality during those arrests. Those little fucks only know brute force. They need to be treated like we treated the taliban during the invasion.

We addressed the leaders of the Taliban, not just the skirmishers.

Wait, what about protester brutality? Punching, kicking, using irritants on police and civilians. There should be a law....

That's a hoot. If ol' Jason had any sense of self awareness at all he'd be thinking, "but I'm a revolutionary and I'm doing Saturday jail for not fastening my seat belt? I's so unfair." I'll bet the dude doesn't floss either. Loser.

This author wrote 36 paragraphs where 12 would have sufficed. That’s the same writing technique social justice “intellectuals” employ to beat down dissenting opinion.

Well it should be completely clear to everyone at this point just who Kate Brown supports. Just disgusting.

A buddy of mine at work just showed me an article that says the proud boys are on their way to Portland to go counter protest right now and that they declared a state of emergency over it and labeled the proud boys a domestic terrorist organization..

"And under Honey Badger Barr, we’re prosecuting the Antifa punks using federal law. Now that’s important. Under federal law, suddenly they aren’t protected from the consequences of their actions like they were when clutched to the bosom of the blue city Sorosite DAs. All of the categories of rioters have something to lose – like five-to-ten in the federal pokey. And that’s when the fourth type of rioter, the invisible funders, get exposed and indicted. These rich lib manipulators do have something to lose, which is why they want to stay far in the background. We need to pull them to the forefront and hold them accountable for the violence and pain their checkbooks have subsidized. No quarter."

Portland protests: police arrest 30 over weekend as governor calls for review

https://www.foxnews.com/us/por...kend-unrest-governor


At least 30 people were arrested in Oregon during unrest over the weekend, as Gov. Kate Brown announced that she has asked law enforcement officials to investigate “any alleged incidents” involving their officers.

Two parts stick out to me:
As governor calls for review
And
investigate "any alleged incidents" involving their officers.

This means Internal Affairs/ Professional Standards or whatever it's called is now going to be looking real hard and any and all misconduct cases, especially brutality.

Not good....

Having played this game before, the next part is "Send in the Lawyers."
Their side has lawyers, and lots of them.
Remember pages back when I said about their side has cameramen?
Their side has video, and lots of it.

In the upcoming months, there's going to be a metric shit-ton of lawsuits coming down on those departments. There's two sides to civil suits-
Compensatory- to make the person "whole", as in lost wages, pain and suffering...
Punitive- to punish the wrong-doer. (The cop that deservingly beat the shit out of a protester)

In this case, it's going to be some Portland/Seattle cop that's been on the front lines of this battle for over the last 100 days. THEIR fight ain't even close to over.
