I could literally watch this shit all day


The one thing I notice about all these protesters is ultimately how childish they are. Taunting, throwing things, passive-aggressively putting up makeshift barriers, shoving things in people's faces then yelling "STOP TOUCHING ME YOU AREN'T ALLOWED TO TOUCH ME!" It's like watching 20 year olds play a game. Compared to what real shit people their age were doing 100 or 1000 years ago it's pathetic.
Their goal is to get one of the cops so fed up he decks them and they can put it online and scream police brutality and turn people against the cops. It actually worked very well in 2020 but everyone is tired of their shit now and just wants to see them get smacked.
 
Watch as Antifa-aligned activists, fully dressed in black, are thrown to the ground by Philadelphia police after attempting to breach the police line.

The confrontation erupted shortly after the estimated 80,000-strong "No Kings" protest dispersed.

As crowds thinned, the black-clad group began marching through the streets, eventually clashing with law enforcement as tensions escalated. After being tackled to the ground then activists quickly fled the scene.
The reality is antifa can't handle state violence at all. If the public is sick of them, and there's a political consensus to see some skulls get cracked, they're finished.
 
How much of these happenings are effecting you personally kiwis?
Its really impacted my productivity, hard to focus with all the winning that's going on, feels like every time I look back here shit gets worse for the lefties. Now they're literally killing their own leaders, and this new shots fired might be their own rank and file to boot.
 
God, you're like a reverse Cassandra.
That's why we love him.

I’m glad you said all this because I actually agree. The committee appointment and no kings signs are compelling, but it’s just not enough for me. Sorry guys, it could really could go either way in my opinion, and I’m very impatient to find out what this fucker’s deal, if we ever do.
His wife also worked for Walz in DC, I believe. I'd say more than anything tho, he's a fucking psycho.

That's why I asked OP what he would consider middle America, Would Billings or SLC or Boise be considered Middle America? You'd obviously find less people protesting in some town with 30,000 people in it, that's where most of those images of a handful of people protesting come from. You'd probably also find less people due to strength in numbers. You wouldn't be too impressed to see 10 protests with 1000 people but one protest of 10,000 is much more impressive.
It's nowhere and it's everywhere. Like those generic towns on TV shows that are all obviously Midwestern culturally but have California terrain. Sure, Boise would count.

Frankly, you see this?

If it isn't a major city and it falls outside of Left Coast, Tidewater, New Netherlands and Yankeedom it is Middle America. If it does fall within that it still could (nobody is going to consider the rural countryside of a place like Maine, Michigan or Wisconsin to not be Middle America).

I think in some ways Middle America can also imply a "lack" of overpowering local culture, which really means, an overpowering "generic" (Midwestern) culture. So Midlands is more "Middle" and Deep South, core Appalachia (Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia), Texas, Montana, Wyoming etc. may not count.

But it's not really geographical or cultural. It's small cities that are defined mostly by a bland, suburban/rural middle class. It's similar to the German Mittelstand.

Car is on the fritz so I had to take public transport to work and uber home. Saw a protest in a wealthy suburban town coming in, mostly old people and their mutant liberal arts children/grandchildren, some counter protestors on the otherside, whatever. Ubering back it cost me 40$+ than what it normally does, I'm guessing all the faggots who protested in the city proper spent the day and rocketed demand as I was getting out. Not only do I lose a non-insignificant amount of my paycheck wealth transferring to these old fucks and the niggers they bring in, they also have to punish me indirectly so they can ook and eek. My hate is pure.
