Content Warning: TRUTH!
What you believe has consequences. When you make life hard for others, threaten and intimidate people, you are making a rod for your own back.
Your own ideology is dragging you down.

Threatening people who have opinions that you don't agree with is what a fascist would do. #weprotectus
How does it feel when the shoe is on the other foot Morgan McKniff?
Portlanders are tired of radical zealots running roughshod over the citizens who are building a life here. A big component of your strategy has been to get us all more comfortable with less police, less laws and less boundaries.
Less is easily promised and easily delivered by politicians and people who think gun violence can be solved by closing streets.
Your weakness is in that things which have no boundary also have no center. The daunting task to create something is lost on you.
The irony is so thick here to watch you all become victims of your own ideology and watch you destroy your lives in the process. Have you not complained enough? Have you not protested enough? At what point do you discard your own faith in the thing you're complaining about?
I don't think the lawlessness of Portland is working in your favor.
So what do you do? Go cry online for your comrades to cashapp you money to repair the damage you've been causing to yourself?
Meanwhile...Alan Kessler, Janelle Bynum, Ginny Burdick, Brad Witt, Kat Mahoney, Jaun Chaves, Chris O'Connor, Rain Peck, Rev. Nat, Joshua Blount, Kaia Sand and Mike Schmidt all sit comfortably in their homes. Supporting your protests as distractions.
It's careerism, it's power and these people have all enriched themselves as your life erodes from inside a radical movement. Abandon these false idols. You are being played SUCKA! Your just grist in the mill taking on all the risk with none of the reward.
Here is a man whose fanaticism took him to calling a black man a colonizer and getting punched in the face for it. (True story.)
He continues as a radical in Portland, unphased that he is a man who cannot even support himself as a consequence of a bad ideology. #Mountebank
For those who are still in their 20's protesting, it seems to be a proxy for a family and sense of belonging. Much like a gang.
For those in their 30's, it's a proxy for failure to launch into a career.
If you are over 40, it's a proxy for your inability to create progeny.
These are great victims for a movement because they are isolated. They are easy to ideologically capture and once the disembodied spirit of an ideology takes hold of them it doesn't actually improve their condition, instead it turns them into fodder for power brokers.
On the ground, it's a shell game with these expendable individuals who are just as easily replaced once one of them heads off to jail. What is important is that there is just enough of them out there so that a narrative can be crafted from a flashpoint.
Seven journalists, capture one photograph, craft a story which then appeals to the disenfranchised individuals on the fringes who believe the enemy on the other side must be destroyed. Slowly, they become the fascists.
We're focused on exposing who is benefiting from all the strife in Portland. It's the media, the lawyers and some radical politicians who ENCOURAGE these people destroy their lives in order to advance their own careers.
Pretty sick stuff...
The radical movements in Portland will take you to one of three places:
1. Dead - You are now only useful to the movement as a symbol to be exploited with a limited shelf life because new deaths will always occur just like one did on the day this post was written.
2. Destitute - Even people in the movement who have achieved some level of notoriety continue to have financial problems. There is a sort of ponzi scheme here of people passing money around to one another that looks to be unsustainable and easily exploitable.
3. Jail - This is the most profitable outcome for the lawyers, politicians and media. All the risk is on the people in the streets and none of it is on Lauren Regan. But the flyers are nice and the donations are solid! 💰💰💰
Where are the supports of this movement who say: "If things aren't good enough, why not just improve it?" Well because that doesn't move money around 1, 2 and 3. It's the indulgence of the radicals that destruction be carried our more than systematic reform.
Here is Portland anarchist William Gillis almost waking up to what is happening but it's in the courts and managerial class not so much in the history books. The largess has been sucked up by none of the people taking any of the actual risk.
The average citizen of Portland is very ignorant as to just how organized and devout these people are to their cause. Anarchists used to be drunks and it's not that they are sober now but the new drug of social capital is involved. The rise of appointed speakers...
And a subsequent sycophantic audience.
This is not overstated. The "solidarity" response regarding the "community" with hearts, hugs, smiley faces is likely to be found on ANY THREAD! Why is that so predictable?
Scant is any real advice regarding her obedience in being asked to maintain a relationship for intel.
It's like a Mormon fundamentalist cult who asks you to marry a man with 8 other wives because the essentials of this ideology requires you to sacrifice your agency.
It is predictable because what has resulted from the many years of protest in Portland is a religious product and Anarchist proselytizing is more for the camera than it is for conversion. The resulting images are used to receive endowments from a global managerial class.
Some of the money is provided through organizations of various sizes who wish to attest to us in the public that they know the "truth" about rotten, racist and vile the soul is of a man is who wears a badge.
Meanwhile.....
These petty tyrants of Portland have shown everyone in the city why our police have a societal and constitutional obligation to respond to such unrestrained destruction, no matter how righteous the cause.
Now it is time for the citizens to do our part.
We are going to have to stand up to these radicals in our city and work around them. Give them no ground. No rest. For the enemy is just as tired as you are. They are losing and it's only a matter of time until they self-destruct down one of the three paths.
"A radical and their money are easily parted and we hijacked your beleaguered souls then extracted resin we could turn to gold." 💉🪙....💰💰💰💰
