Watching the news on UK TV today. President of the US openly supporting a White Supremacy rally, and attacking the ANTI_FASCIST PROTESTORS.... Nothing. It's just not mentioned. At all. Fucking hell.

And then when we go down the same route we'll wonder why nobody saw it coming.

I don't understand this logic. If you're a conservative that's all about being Alpha, then aren't you being completely contradictory to your own value system by playing the victim?
The issue is that "playing dirty" is also a very conscious part of their value system. It doesn't matter if its contradictory to their strong man posturing. If "working the ref" by playing the victim is a successful strategy, they'll employ it.

Yeah it all comes to this. For years we thought it was a fair fight we just needed to crack and win. It's not.

It was always going to work because Fox News exists and the rest of the media "both sides" everything no matter how stupid it looks.
I don't get why people don't get that fox and the cult don't play by "facts" they dictate their own reality and go from there

Fox and friends had Andy Ngo on air this morning trying to cultivate concern over Antifa's presence. Its nothing new, but I just rolled my eyes when I saw they had him on.

Oh yes. There's a place called Ragin Cajun that is very authentic imo. There's also a place called Pappadeaux Seaford Kitchen, and Landry's. However, those last two are part of a wider seafood restaurant chain in the Texas gulf coast. Still very good though.

Austin has....I guess Shoal Creek Saloon? Heard it's a hell of a Saints bar.

hate to break it to you... But Ragin Cajun is a chain too.

Treebeards, also a chain localized to only downtown, is really good.

Pappadeauex is great. Started in Houston on westheimer. That's the thing with Houston, there are national chains but there are many chains that started here and still only localized to Houston because it's so big.



Anyway what I love about these events is all the publicness about them and people taking pictures so we can name and shame them. I saw an article the other day about Charlottesville saying many of them have been arrested and in prison for the violence and many others lost their jobs.

Antifa not using violence. They are ejecting the facists from there group by huddling around them with hula hoops wrapped in bubble tape pushing them out.

I'm on the bus heading downtown and there's a fascist with a "blue lives matter" shirt. Why are these jerks in my city? Why can't they just leave us alone?

Because it has more than one restaurant? Technically yes. RC and Mandola's are all filed under Luke Mandolla's LLP. But RC stands alone imo.
There's more than one location which makes it a chain. But the rest of my post that you got rid of makes note that it's not really a bad thing when talking about Houston restaurants.

They're in your city because the chance of running into large groups of minorities is smaller there. They're proud, not brave.

No. Just because the Right lies all the time doesn't mean you need to respond in kind.
The Right tries to categories Black Lives Matter as a dangerous terror organization. EVERY organization that is Left-leaning and promotes equality, peace, love and better treatment of your fellow man is considered "radical left terrorism". Who was it, Buttigeig, who said that no matter what the Dems say, even the Moderate ones, Republicans/Right-wingers will STILL label them as "Socialists" and they basically DID THAT (even saying Delaney was a pretty Socialist candidate). That's the Republican's/Right's game. So, if they are going to say you are something regardless, might as well just BE YOURSELF and FUCK the Right's opinions.

Despite portland's liberal exterior, it's still influenced by Oregon's racist history. I think frequency of Antifa counterprotests reflect a desire affect drastic change and progress past the city's history. Its only an inference, but you don't really see this happening in any other city.

I know you guys are proud of your city, and I'm not saying it's not what it tries to be, but your state and region has an unfortunate history of white supremacy movements.

The Racist History of Portland, the Whitest City in America

It’s known as a modern-day hub of progressivism, but its past is one of exclusion.


Today, we're seeing the descendants/echoes of those movements that haven't exactly died out. If you're wondering "where are all these fash fucks coming from?", the answer is "your state's history".

Yep. Good way of putting it.

I am... Unfortunately well aware of this. I just hate that we haven't fixed this already. It's disgraceful and embarrassing

The Cnn interviewer interview who just interviewed the right-wing group members should be fired for having such an incompetent interview and letting the guy walk right over you . The right wing nut managed to make her stutter which ultimately damaged her interview. They needed to send someone who can retort back against these folks

You know, they should name themselves "anti-racist" from now on instead of anti- fascist so that when the orange turd calls them terrorists it would be clearer who he's defending.
Unfortunately, Anti-Racist Action was similarly smeared in the media by pearl-clutching right-wingers as being a bunch of terrorist thugs. It's hard to fight an enemy in the court of public opinion when that enemy has no shame or moral bottom.
