I'm not actually surprised that the second american civil war starts in California. Cali always seemed like the most progressive state.
Progressive as in Pride-themed anti-homeless boulder
Reminds me of Victoria BC in Canada, whole place feels like a liberal nightmare. The place is run and populated by champagne liberals who step over homeless addicts on their way to their micro breweries so they can congratulate each other on how progressive they are.
This is nothing really. If people wanted war they would have strategy. It's just pissed off people, not people with a plan.
Watching the riot over the past few hours it looks like it's just bored people with mob mentality.
What do you think the people's response should be to being black-bagged off the streets by people who don't have badges, don't wear uniforms, drive in unmarked vehicles and wear masks?
This hasn't even begun to get nasty, yet.
I mean, strategy forms as you test the waters and see what response you get. The infancies of rebellions often aren't the most strategic.
This is arguably the most dangerous kind of war, at least for the elites and authoritarians. Angry people without a plan are unpredictable.
Ah yes, those lazy Californian fake progressives, so fake and lazy to fight in the streets. Unlike those ultra poor in Massachusetts doing nothing to show how progressive they are.
East Coast Beast Coast baby. Bad things happen in Philly don't come around
Throw batteries at ICE
Send Gritty in against them
You guys do love hammerin’ shit. Never change, Philly.
Ah dude, shut the fuck up.
I love Massachusetts too, but you're very wrong about Californians.
