if i were a well-funded intelligence apparatus within an autocratic Middle Eastern petro state hoping to simultaneously attract Western investors *and* exacerbate Western socio-cultural tensions

i might pay a few famous US comedians to come perform at a comedy festival

but that's just me

You heard it here, folks. Straight from the source.

Andy Ngo is scared of frogs, moms, and milkshakes.

@MrAndyNgo
Now that the local and national press have started to cover the Portland ICE area round-the-clock in reaction to the President, Antifa have devised a plan where they are encouraging one another to come in animal costumes.

The costumes serve the function of masking the violent extremism to make the direct action appear like a family-friendly gathering on camera, and to whitewash the past ultraviolence.

In 2019, Antifa devised a similar plot by giving out free "milkshakes" at a protest. But they couldn't contain their bloodthirst and nearly killed me when they saw me. In 2020, they mobilized a fake "Wall of Moms" where female Antifa supporters and members wore yellow shirts to act as human body shields while violent rioters behind them hurled projectile weapons.

yesterday i saw a video on Reels of a queer black 20-something walking up to two National Guardsmen in Chicago, then turn around and bend over while shouting "Arrest me, daddy!"

as the guardsmen immediately turned around to walk away, i thought 'The kids are alright.'

i guarantee that any No Kings protest 'footage' shown on Fox News will be old, unrelated 'riot' videos

Keith Avery @slabgorb.com · 2d

the protests in DC tend to be at least 40% boomer age hippies, so good luck making little old ladies seem sinister

Godspeed You! Bluesky Emperor @andrewpaul.bsky.social · 2d

i'm not downplaying the seriousness re: how their whackjob brownshirts will interpret this

but they have lost the plot when it comes to winning a majority of the populace over to their righteous pure nation cause

it's getting so desperately unhinged.

they aren't even decrying nebulous, nonexistent entities now. they're pointing to a protest explicitly marketed as a peaceful "NO KINGS" rally.

this angle doesn't work unless you're a MAGA cultist who no longer believes their eyes.

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "
