That said, there may be some who can engage in property destruction, possibly targeted violence, who are not ideologically anarchists... but even in acts of desperation or even necessity, embracing violence is essentially temporarily suspending the acceptance of the rule of law.
But a bunch of 300lb neckbeards on a bus is not an emergency, and to more effectively diminish their ideology, it would be way better to stage faux Proud Boy sumo wrestling matches, with someone dressed as Trump playing the referee nearby, but not able to be accessed by the PBs.
Because really, all that toxic masculinity is probably just cover for their own deep-seated feelings of inadequacy, and ridiculing them - by name - while wearing sumo fat suits and costume body hair ...
and allowing the winner of the tournament to engage in simulated fellatio with the referee is what would really piss them off.
Also, it's satire. Like, protected speech.
Not violence.
So you still get street wrestling entertainment... but even better, you can ridicule them all for the whole world to watch, & let every aspiring white nationalist know what the consequences of their actions will be if they opt to continue down the path towards radicalization.
Plus... black bloc is so 1999.
If you won't show your face, you aren't really standing up for anything.
The only ones it helps are the literal fascists looking for something to whatabout the left with.
Which side are you on, boys?

It's kind of weird that I haven't heard smart people like @AWeissmann_ et al focusing on how Trump defaulted on $640M in debt to Deutsche bank, THEN submitted fraudulent statements to secure future loans.
of course, maybe I just haven't heard it discussed...
but that - but with Deutsche execs having vowing to never lend to him again - that seems a more significant motivation to falsify statements than simply lower interest rates.
Just lost my thread about I-95 in Philly, so I'll just share these images while I decide if I should write it up again.
Something smelled off, especially because of Higgins' advice to "Know your bridges" two days prior...so I poked around and found even more stink...
familiar?
Yup. The I-95 crash was about two blocks from THAT crematorium and adult bookstore-adjacent Four Seasons Total Landscapingwhere Rudy Giuliani held his press conference in 2020.
That being said, I'm not questioning the driver.
I'm wondering what TK Transport was doing transporting 8500 gallons of fuel on the interstate when they apparently have no active licensing or insurance with the government....
When I heard female gunman at a private school, this is what that made me think I'd find.
Not to justify, whatsoever... but would be an interesting track for any interested journalists to pursue - racketeering to protect leaders sexually abusing children. casetext.com/case/davis-v-c…
Look for a solution rather than a fight, @ALALibrary :
If some parents are concerned about 'questionable' books, let parents manage their own children's access.
Schools provide 'unsubscriptions' that keep those kids from checking out books parents don't want.
Integrate those 'unsubscriptions' into the library management system, and if a student tries to check out a book they shouldn't, simply don't allow attempts to check out books to be completed...
Or keep a list taped to the desk. Add a 'restriction' sticker to their student id.
or, perhaps, send an email receipt to parents when their child checks out ANY book and let them ensure it is returned the next day.
