Glued to this feed from Richmond. Boogaloo boi Mike Dunn has led a small army of heavily armed, fellow boog bois and militia dudes to protest gun control.

A few counterprotesters have shown up: militia guy says he's "tired of antifa burning towns and villages" https://t.co/TmKjEmQfqH

Those of you who have followed me for a while know that I'll be beefing up the latest Austin Boogaloo thread. I'm just letting toxic twitter present itself for a bit so I can weed out the nasties.

I include two of the most interesting replies to her question

it's so weird that people are mad that you called out that he was a boogaloo boy when his own facebook makes it pretty obvious.

Funny you don't see anything else posted here!!!

I spend a lot of time posting other things in the news section!!! Apparently you don't look at any of them because all you are interested in is anything anyone posts on wokeness or black cultural or associated political issues.

And I put nearly all such stories on a single thread, it's a place I keep stories on topic which interest me for academic reasons.

I can't help it other people are interested and look at it and reply and add to it. I purposely try to keep it easy to ignore VERY FRANKLY because I don't want to discuss any of it with you. I don't think you have a basic understanding of why it interests me and I waste time responding you politicizing it all and taking it away from its reason for being. While others offer items of interest and thoughts which are of interest. You seem to think it is some political jihad, it's not, it's a record of culture change and tumult, no different than the note cards a historian keeps for a possible future paper.

I've asked you to basically ignore that thread on topic several times. I meant it. I even fear every time I post on it that you will see and participate, I'm serious! I'd really rather you would ignore.

You do seem to think that everything people post is from political activist motives. Because those are your own reasons for participating here? I find that odd. There's only a few people here and only a few lurkers. Even if you changed a mind you would not affect much at all. It's definitely not the place for activism as it is now.

Whatever it is, it's truly not my problem. Your obsession with my thread on topic is especially not my problem.

Everyone else is welcome to post other things. But they don't. Not my problem. I turned down an offer to be on the masthead for precisely that reason. I am not here to promote an agenda! I'm just here to use Michael's very fine and well-maintained news collation app. with analytic (and fun and sassy at times) input from others most welcome. And to share quality thought-provoking articles as well.

I am not in charge of anything here. Make it your own by posting more than me, see what that gets ya. (Right now I'd predict: not much, judged on my own results for more than a decade.)

Edit to add

All I see is repetitive posts about so-called cancel culture the evil "Woke"

In reply to I responded to the question

Yeah, i actually was going to say "powerpoint*", except a properly Done PowerPoint builds. Yours just splatters. You dont put headings on your sludea, And you dont make sure the bullets contribute to the point. So instead, Its trains of pedantic Bullets with no real destination, just repetition. And then you reuse slides from last week's PowerPoints, So anyone show's stood one of your lectures knows all the points in whatever order.

In reply to This is a typical argument,

I responded to the question about my writing style.

Edit to add:

The sequence

I asked a question

PP asked a question

I responded to PP's question, then gave details on my position.

Edit to add:

The post about the Woke dealt with how it related to Russian literature. Gessen is Russian so I thought her view on cancel culture and the protests was interesting. Her daughter went to a BLM protest.

good illustration of how

good illustration of how suburbia in general isn't that friendly to radical extremism of any kind, that's a big reason people chose to live there

In 2018, the GOP was routed in suburban communities from coast to coast. Many 2020 polls show Trump facing unprecedented deficits for an R w/white college+ voters. How many of them look at this picture & say: yes, where I belong is in the same political coalition as that woman? https://t.co/TGqqePwap5

In reply to More from Gessen

I'm not surprised that you dismiss the connection between Edmund Pettus and Portland, but others understand

Viewers could not help but notice the striking, horrific parallels between the clips of Portland protestors being beaten into submission by federal troops and the historic footage of Lewis and his compatriots (including C.T. Vivian, who died on the same day as Lewis,) suffering the same fate nearly 60 years ago.
