Well, if you're viewing it that way, it's been a total failure.
Their comms are compromised every few weeks. Their supply lines got taken out by cops in Kenosha and a tubby commander in DC. Physically, they failed to capture the federal courthouse after 2 months, lost CHAZ to some bike cops, and got BTFO in the streets by a teenage lifeguard. They do manage to shut down streets more than they should, until random Ethiopian immigrants swing by at 60 mph.
Every night we see the same thing: the protests are being allowed to continue. Cops are still using kid's gloves. DAs are refusing to prosecute. If anyone took the "insurrection" seriously, the switch would flip and they'd be shut down instantly.
They won't even get the benefit of veteran experience--the first people to be taken out would be the idiots who got arrested and doxed over the last 3 months. All the leaders on the megaphones, and the talkers on the front lines, have their face on streams, have been doxed, and can be scooped up.
The funding schemes worked, as did the NLG. But those were in place before BLM, and they can be replicated at will if you discard them. I think in the age of electronic money, funding is a given and not really an advantage for either side.
I do think the Democrats were trying to develop an armed wing of their party, like how the original Nazis and Soviets had back in 1933. But they don't have control over them. They can't control the chaos to get the optics they want, and they only have power within Democratic cities. I believe they'd be able to whip up a mob if they wanted to, but they have shown zero ability to direct the mob to useful gains.
If the Democrats, progressives, socialists, or whoever try to launch an actual insurrection after the election, they are going to get shut down hard. Both by the federal government, and by the sudden mass of new gun owners who are just itching to see an enemy mob provide a target-rich environment on a suburban road.
I don't think they can do that. This entire thing was an optics game. Even BLM said in their leaked chat they can only bus several thousand people around. You are looking at 0.002% of the population actively out there. For an actual insurrection, you'd need to get the Military on side. They would be the only ones that would have the manpower to enforce such a state when you have citizens who are arming themselves at record rates.
So I believe all this actual revolution talk is nonsense. At best, this is an attempt at a soft coup, by trying to bait Trump into using the insurrection act. At worst, an optics plan about Trump being a weakling spiraling out of their control.
No, because then the French would lose out massively. The average French farm is a paltry 135 acres (compared to 213 in the UK). Their whole farming sector is outdated and wouldn't look out of place in a british pathe film of 1950. Its geared to overproduce to an insane level (as is all european agriculture) to the point the EU just dumps the excess in africa by air, pretends its aid and pats itself on the back for basically ensuring no agricultural sector across swathes of subsaharan africa (on the eastern coast in particular) is never viable.
An interpretation could be that coinage was presumed at that time to be legitimate only if gold or silver, and separate from paper issuance. I don't think any other metals were used as official currency until much later.
Yes, I was going to comment on that. The very first coins were gold, silver and copper under the 1792 Coinage Act, although the states had used different kinds of currency before the United States itself existed, as well as a large variety of foreign coinages, like the Spanish dollar or so-called "pieces of eight" (because of the custom of cutting them into eight pieces or "bits").

Yes, extremely varied before the states were unified. But the first federal currency was only those three metals, and so a cogent argument could be made for the legitimacy of that today. Maybe Trump does not want to be assassinated and that's why he won't even try to revert. I hadn't thought of that before.
If the police were taking their safety concerns seriously, police leadership would do what it takes to put a stop to this shit. Hmmm... I wonder who controls the police in Portland. Oh wait, it's Ted Wheeler.
What's always hilarious to me is that the sort of people who would be on this commission spend all their time talking about how washington/jefferson/etc were all evil horrible people for owning slaves and their achievements dont matter compared to these sins but as soon as you bring up the fact that Karl Marx was an anti semite who loved to use the word nigger and cheated on his wife by raping his maid (while cheating his maid out of her wages), they start screaming that Marx was a product of his time.
Because the left have never really been moral relativist. The right wing is just stupid.
As shown by your own comment, the left are actually moral absolutists but only towards people and nations they hate. They are only moral relativist towards their own side or things/people they don't hate.
I seriously hope there is a federal law (even if just case law) tucked away somewhere (I would assume one of the Civil Rights Acts) where blanket premeditated "we are not going to charge people for x crime(s)" is a violation of the law, since the DAs and police did it to benefit the Klan so much. There is a difference between "Do I believe I have enough evidence to win over a jury conviction that this person violated the law" and a press conference saying "We are not going to enforce these laws".
The Feds can take action to enforce the Civil Rights Act, which I believe can be used in the case of the Patriot Prayer dude that was outright assassinated by the Antifa methhead because killing someone for exercising their First Amendment rights to Free Speech and then the State doing fuck all is a clear violation. It's no different from Southern town and state police that did nothing when they killed people organizing blacks to vote. They slammed them with charges under the 1964 Civil Rights Act. That's what I would argue.
Of course all this is on ice until the election but sure, the Feds can bring the power of the government down on the commies in the PNW with devastating results. You get some of those Antifag tweakers away in a Federal jail cell without their bathtub meth, phone and other Antifags and they'll crack within the week and rat out the others.
It would also cause a collective nervous breakdown of all the liberals in the PNW for being seen and treated as no different than the KKK they always scream about.
There are offices across the entire US full of Justice Dept lawyers that would be dedicated to only this and individuals itching to make their names and move up that would sell out their mothers to prosecute a case of this magnitude. That's why they're getting more desperate to paint Kyle and the like as white supremacists. It's a defense. But it won't work since the real RWDS used their brains and sat this one out.

Funny how that contrasts with what the Chinese actually think of Africans.
While foreigners in China account for less than one person in two thousand, fears of a ‘foreign takeover’ repeatedly crop up in Chinese media and government sources; multicultural immigration is painted by many as the harbinger of the dilution of the Chinese race, culture and nation. Despite the stark decrease in the number of Africans in Guangzhou in recent years, political fear mongering about the impact of Africans continues. As recent as March 2017 senior Chinese politicians expressed concerns about Guangzhou’s ‘African question.’ Speaking on the issue, Pan Qinglin - a member of the country’s top political advisory board, the People’s Political Consultative Conference - argued that:
“Black brothers often travel in droves; they are out at night, out on the streets, nightclubs, and remote areas. They engage in drug trafficking, harassment of women, and fighting, which seriously disturbs law and order in Guangzhou [...] Africans have a high rate of AIDS and the Ebola virus that can be transmitted via bodily fluids [...] If their population [keeps growing], China will change from a nation-state to an immigration country, from a yellow country to a black-and-yellow country.”
When rhetoric from China’s highest echelons matched that of Guangzhou’s officials, the stage was set for a coordinated crackdown on ‘Little Africa.’ Years before Pan’s comments, the wheels were already in motion to begin dismantling Asia’s largest African community. In an effort to clamp down of individuals with expired visas, local authorities instituted an aggressive campaign of police checkpoints and document checks, rounding up thousands in the process.

Just go back and look at Trumps speech before the election. To the people at the very top, this is a game, see how they laugh. Trump decided he was going to play against the establishment. And now, he find himself in this situation. Look at Hillary, see how she laughs at Trumps jokes? These people at the top level know each other. Trump decided, y'know what? I'm gonna see if I can take this clique down." And now, here we are. Things at the highest level, mirror the work politics you see at the other levels.
Political dynasties I feel shouldn't be encouraged, I feel like it consolidates too much power into one bloodline. Too much of that over here in my country, they just toss favors around back and forth. Hell, just look at the Clintons and you can see how it goes. Don Jr. seems like a cool guy, but he should just stick to business and trolling on Twitter.
Do you think the rioters get workers comp from their shadowy employer? I imagine Soros only pays cash so they can’t even collect unemployment let alone get healthcare or worker’s compensation. You’d think they’d unionize and demand better pay and benefits like good communists.
