#1 You're right, we should not underestimate their capacity for stupidity!

#2 Good Lord -- "the right is behind on these tactics"! Another idiot who views the use of violence as a dial, not a switch.

#3 SCFI, this is a sore point for me.

Yes the whole don't ascribe to intent what can be explained by stupidity is good for a few chuckles, BUT, these are not stupid folks they are wicked, mean, nasty and evil folks.

Let's not try and laugh off the person holding a gun on you cause he's funny looking and babbles.

#4 Antifa is just the troublemakers of the day. The real problem is underestimating the level of corruption in elected officials and bureaucrats to allow these malcontents to operate as lawbreakers.

#6 The real danger lies in the synergy between official government action and deniable and nominally irregular enforcers of the will of the government, in this case antifa.

CHAZ was a real and effective, literally murderous attack on fundamental human & civil rights within the nominal jurisdiction of the US constitution.

#7 The Soy Boys are just cannon fodder. To be used as a buffer and discarded (likely killed) afterwards. The indocturnation center (Education system) spews them out in such numbers that they are expendable.

This.

Simply dismissing them is like being a German circa 1930 saying "That loud fellow with the funny mustache can't possibly be a real threat."

#11 They are only a threat in places where they are aided and abetted by local governments. Without that backing, they really don't last more than a few minutes.

#12 We are not afraid of them, soy boys or other. We are angry, and the thought we will take action against them should sow fear in them. America is not a video game, there will be no reset, and when we have had enough it will be violent, bloody, and over.
