As the violence seems to wax and wane, still trying to reconcile the attractiveness and dissonance of BLM.
Kneeling in the Church of Social Justice
America certainly has work to do on race, but ritual and symbolic acts aren't the way forward.
Those of us watching incongruously and needlessly acrid media posts and the yanking down of statues cannot help thinking the real motivator of the TWA posture is a simple joy in indignation and destruction, along with the comforts of group warmth. The white TWA adherent cherishes displaying virtue. The black TWA adherent has fallen for the Siren call of the noble victim complex, affording one the status of a Cassandra, a survivor, even the granter of absolution, as we see in some of the protest videos.

The stench of flop-sweat is overpowering. Poor KK: shackled to a toad who can't really be called a president. And all for a sad little paycheck.
Oh, gosh, Jim Jordan! The guy who helped cover up sexual abuses of Ohio State wrestlers! You could fill a school bus with all the people who've accused Jordan of actively working to hide these crimes.
Seems the PNW remains a hotbed of violence, arson, destruction & looting. I wonder why these perpetrators haven't got the message that Portland & Seattle are bastions of all things progressively liberal?
Yes, you SHOULD wonder why there's a lack of full coverage. Maybe investigate that.
OR you could tune in and find out what Andy Ngo has to say to the Oversight Committee on Monday....

Who knew? An honest observer has a bigger hard-on for Antifa than our dynamic KK/K duo. Bonus "surprise!" He's Islamophobic.
The publication where Ngo is an editor, Quillette, is widely seen as a major hub of the âintellectual dark webâ â a loose collection of anti-political correctness, anti-identity politics, anti-left media figures and reporters. Ngo is the closest thing the intellectual dark web has to a gonzo journalist, someone who goes into allegedly hostile places and documents them for his more than 200,000 Twitter followers to illustrate that the IDW is right about the threat from multiculturalism and the left.
Last year, for example, Ngo went to the UK to chronicle the supposed threat the rising Muslim population posed to British society. The resulting article, âA Visit to Islamic England,â claimed England was being quietly conquered by fundamentalist Islam.
The piece was shredded by actual Brits. Most amusingly, Ngo presented a London sign reading âalcohol restricted zoneâ as evidence of Islamic dominance in the Whitechapel neighborhood; it was actually a public safety ordinance designed to discourage public acts of drunkenness from patrons of nearby pubs, bars, and strip clubs.
Ngoâs coverage of left-wing protesters is similarly ideological. He views left-wing activists, like Muslim immigrants to the West, as a threat to free and open societies. His reporting plays up acts of vandalism, violence, and hostility to free speech without a comparable focus on the much more frequent and deadly actions of right-wing extremists.
Antifa is a perfect foil for Ngo. The group of typically black-clad activists are radicals who believe the best way to deal with the rise of white supremacy and hate groups in the Trump era is by confronting them on the street. Sometimes, this means organizing demonstrations against them; other times, it means brawling in the streets.

Or a bit of trendy PR from a guy who needs it and who can afford it. It will be cool to have a net zero arena, but I don't for a second believe it from the goodness of his heart. When I ran the data center, they were the anchor client. Their power bills were in excess of 200K$ a month. They blocked efforts to improve efficiency unless they got all the benefit of the savings applied to their bills.
Yeah, I just like knowing the announcers will have to say it all the time, like Dignity Health Sports Park.

Looks like the Bubba Wallace NASCAR & the noose thing is about to implode on Bubba & NASCAR. He's probably toast, fratricided by the idiots at NASCAR. #fakenoose
Yeah. NASCAR owes a huge apology, meanwhile Bubba has decided to try the whole âitâs a noose because I say it isâ defense .
Bold. Laughably insane and idiotic, but bold.
What he should have said: "I am of course relieved this wasn't a hate crime against me. My critics are wrong that it was a hoax - instead it appears to have been a misunderstanding, and I'm grateful my fellow racers and NASCAR & its fans had my back."
He's nuking himself now.
As a general rule you are ignore worthy. But this is a notable exception -
