That was like four months after the PB's and friends held Unite the Right in Charlottesville.

Yeah I'm gonna need some evidence "antifa" was behind the looting and rioting (most of which was the direct result of police attacking actual peaceful protesters).

I'm confused by this. Your suggestion is that the billions in looting and arson were caused by the helpless peaceful protesters being attacked by police? I would have thought they'd have had little time to stop and do their free shopping while police were attacking them, but then I've never been in a riot before.

And by a lot of things apparently.

That's as may be but at least I have a solid grip on reality, not something you can honestly claim.

I'm not the bid dumb idiot who doesn't understand the causal relationship between police violence and riots.

No, you're the rabid extremist who ignores or waves away the violence his side commits because he believes it's entirely justified due to his righteous indignation.

When did "righteous" become a bad thing?

When social justice did. Justice soured when it became more like vengeance. Of course just about anything with the word social attached to it is naturally suspect cuz....commies.

as in Trump's latest foray... "TRUTH Social" as an alternative to Twitter... posting "truths" instead of tweets!

Trump to launch new social media platform TRUTH Social

Don't try to both sides this when more people have been killed by right wing extremists than the left.

Good piece on CBC this morning.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/opinion/opinion-trans-rights-radical-activism-1.6220106

I think people are less well socialized than they used to be say 100+ years ago.  Before you had 5+ siblings you constantly fought with growing up, so people learned better how to disagree. 

It was also far more rare for parents to bend over backwards for you on your every whim and give in to the tantrums of their children.  More people have learned that throwing tantrums gets them what they want, even in adulthood.

There's even a big difference when talking to a boomer in a store vs someone under 50.  Boomers and older are just far more sociable and approachable.  I find people under 50 tend to keep to themselves and not want to be bothered.  Maybe older people just mellow out too when they get old I dunno.

My parents had like seven or eight siblings apiece. Every kid grew up in the old days with twenty or more uncles and aunts and dozens of first cousins mostly in the same city. They grew up in a family filled with kids they had to learn to get along with. They spent all their spare time in unsupervised groups of kids where they again had to learn to get along, learn to socialize.

Now they grow up as a single child, or one of two. They might have half a dozen or fewer uncles and aunts and maybe two or three cousins who may or may not live in the same city. They don't spend a single minute of unsupervised play until they're in their teens.They go nowhere alone. They spend their time on the internet, or watching Netflix or playing video games or on social media.

They don't know how to get along with others because they've never had to figure it out.

More wood on the fire...

CBC publishes an article decrying 'toxic activism' and Margaret Atwood supports/retweets.  The author, Jessica Triff, is accused of not existing although Canadaland says she does exist, I guess.
