    Really disappointed in Killer Mike immediately pivoting to make your voice heard at the ballot box and by filling out the census

    Yeah I mean I’d like to believe it’s definitely white nationalists but I think a lot of people are are suddenly forgetting how many straight up anarchists there are in groups like Antifa who would definitely also travel to places to fuck shit up and clash with the police.

    not saying it’s them but let’s wait to see if some of these names do have legit white nationalist group ties. Kinda hoping they do tbh, and that we find proof they’re coordinating with cops. Would open a lot of people’s eyes.
     
  5. basically that. i just keep thinking of how much better it is for a dem mayor of a rioting city to be able to blame property damage on russian infiltrators than it is for black locals to actually be angry enough to burn down a precinct
     
  6. for sure.

    also everything is just moving so fast right now. I’m just trying to keep up

    I mean, did you really expect Killer Mike to get up there and encourage an armed insurrection or something? Most of these people want change, not to be a leader in Civl War 2

  10. i mean its possible but i really think youre overestimating how many of those people there are especially keeping in mind the difference between someone who would tweet about doing that and someone who would actually have the balls to go do it. the latter tend to already be involved in their local activism too. J20 was the biggest antifa black bloc whatever riot and that was like 500 dudes tops.

    like there's vids of young white people doing property damage that don't seem to be integrated with the local protests but like if we think on that for a second we have way more evidence of ongoing attempts of white nationalists to be riding through the areas armed and instigating than we do white leftists. like theyre organizing that pretty openly. haven't seen similar things from 'antifa' 'groups'
     
  11. he has a shirt on that says kill your masters. but no i didnt expect that because killer mike is a libertarian who thinks cops are good

    The extent of Killer Mike's advocacy is black business ownership and electoralism, with some reactionary shit about feminism.

    So I mean, don't put much faith in him.

    I mean, do you also want civil war 2 to happen? I assume not, which means most of these people are def not gonna go out there and encourage the protestors to keep destroying shit haha.

    I really wanna hear about these apparent white nationalist groups. Anyone have a link to that Portland police/white nationalist story from earlier this year?

    Already seeing some conservative folks on FB paint the undercover cop who broke the Auto Zone’s windows as an agent if George Soros. That didn’t take long.

    lmao. You knew as soon as it was being reported that white nationalists were possibly involved that he’d have to defend his boys.

    Also it’s no surprise that he wants to equate black people from the city who are angry at the police and “the radical left”.
     
  22. like 75% of the replies to that black Aziz Ansari thread (btw maybe time for a new display name buddy) are people just agreeing with that Trump tweet. and point is it seems like a LOT more evidence pointing to cops and nazis than antifa or anarchists, in this particular moment

  24. thats the thing, i don't think that's what he's doing, i think he's playing on the same thing about outside infiltrators. not that he doesn't think locals are also doing violence or whatever but he is never coherent

    People are rallying in the city near here. It looks like a fantastic turnout, way more than I’ve seen for other protests. And most people seem to at least have masks with them, if not on.
