That’s a shame. I would have hoped that he would have thought about what Tammy was saying. But if not I suppose we’ll have to go on with our lives.

Don’t worry. I was just dealing with some stuff in what we jokingly call the real world.

I’ve returned to simply apologize for calling you a racist. I believe that our entire nation is steeped in systemic racism, which is reflected in many of our individual lives. I don’t know if you personally are racist.

Think nothing of it. That epithet has been so overused I see it more as a sort of bookkeeping designation than a personal insult.

Unnecessary post. Have a great day, everyone.

Unnecessary post. Have a great day, everyone.

Every post is unnecessary.

Every post is unnecessary.

LOL. To some, probably.

I saw headlines trumpeting something like "Antifa Smashes Windows in Portland, Seattle" which puzzled me until I saw the anarchist graffiti in another article. So Antifa (which doesn't really exist as a thing) is getting the blame for anarchist destruction, which has been going on for decades around here. Note: an encircled A is the anarchist symbol. Hope that helps.

I agree with the guy who said Antifa is more of a stupid ideology than a stupid organization, although many stupid things are done in the name of this stupid ideology. Sort of like the Bronies of left wing extremism.

Or the whole thing may be a false front for Seattle glaziers.

Or the whole thing may be a false front for Seattle glaziers.

I agree that glaziers are the primary beneficiary but suspect the false front is simply the result of liberal governance. Participants in ongoing violence and destruction gravitate to areas where that activity is excused and tolerated such as the progressive havens of Portland and Seattle. The broken windows theory makes a lot of sense.

And yet hundreds of thousands of people live happily in those cities. Housing prices have taken another leap lately.
I'm happy to live in a liberal stronghold, warts and all.
