There were a few scuffles between Proud Boys and some activists, but that was mostly name calling and someone threw a punch. The cops weren't even there at the beginning but they arrested a few protesters afterward (seemed they threw the first punch).(09-15-2020, 11:33 AM)Mikebert Wrote:Well, as every knows, I'm not blessed with great writing skills.

If you do then you are at much greater risk than me and are more likely to find yourself at odds or find yourself in direct conflict with a Democratic group than me these days.(09-09-2020, 01:57 PM)Classic-Xer Wrote: That's what you thought but you still had to ask? Well, I'd still leave you hanging from a limb and I'd still leave you to fend for yourself or leave you to mercy of some group of Democrats.
You position makes no sense.You were espousing "taking things" from Blue America, which sounds like theft to me. So I was ruling out that as a possible explanation. You apparently cannot articulate your argument, from which I conclude you don't really have one. Your complaints are more emotional or perhaps spiritual than concrete, although you seem to prefer a concrete solution--civil war--that is, killing people and taking their stuff.
We are in a creedal passion period or in S&H terms, a certain kind of social moment. Such periods have sometimes led to major conflagrations: the 19th century US Civil War, the 17th century English Civil War, the 16th century German Peasants War. Is that really your preferred solution?
We have had nothing like that asshole in Kenosha who shot three people, killing two.
