No, they will go back to their social sciences graduate studies, adjunct professor duties, and barrista jobs, which they will remain in after graduation if they make it.

I"m not sure what Proud Boys do for a living but anyone with time to dress up in a uniform and travel to someone else's city to act like a jerk and look for fights probably doesn't have much going on either.


I shake my head at either side who finds camaraderie with their respective extremist offshoot of miscreants.

You have won this thread. No prize but you win.

As for proud boys. I imagine some do angry vlogging. Those with a following can do well.

What I do find slight odd, is so many in this thread who seem to be so ANTIFA, but don't raise an eyebrow about White Supremacists having a "parade".

the absence of such a parade explains the lack of raised eyebrows.

mystery solved!

In Portland we have reached the bleeding Kansas stage of our modern political discourse. The question is do we pull back as a society or do we move on to the next step as we did in 1861?

You think the Antifa are local? They're all bused in from god knows where. Anyone who has time to go to these rallies are usually deadbeats without a job. I would love for one of these rallies to come near me however.

Do you really think ANTIFA has to bus in people in Portland? That is where a lot of those people live. That is why the Proud Boys are having their rallies there in the first place.

Anyway, ANTIFA isn't an organization in the proper sense. It has no membership, and it has no central leadership. It is a loose grouping of like minded people. If you and your friends agree with the goals of ANTIFA and you all dress in black and counter protest at white supremacist rallies then you are ANTIFA too, even if you have never met anyone else from ANTIFA.

You can have them from both sides. On the local news tonight they mentioned millions were spent on the attempt to keep the peace, money that will come out of programs for the homeless and a host of other initiatives the city funds. Small businesses also took a financial hit. So yeah, don't be shy about letting us all know where you live. Talk is cheap, send out those invites. Just give us the zip code, otherwise we can just consider you're just blowing smoke.
