not only that, I was saying it as part of my argument that *Trump's own justification for attacking Venezuela makes no sense*.
it would be like if i said "the bush admin's justification for invading iraq makes no sense" and this site was like "how dare you insult the noble iraqi bioweapons program"

It’s so insane to me that people had this reaction to an economist talking about oil markets. Total lack of intellectual curiosity.
it's extremely funny (in a cosmic sense) how that guy was like "yes marchini & stancil need to fear for their lives, I am completely serious", just in general, but particularly given apparently that's not a bannable offense on bluesky dot app.

Every sports bar is now filled with men in their 20s growing despondent as they watch parlays fail.
I know many Normies who have seen someone, usually a guy, blow through thousands of dollars on sports betting

The Kalshi head of comms showed up in my replies and dozens of users are now telling her to, in Bluesky parlance, unalive themself. Feels like sentiment is turning on gambling.

What is the barricade doing for the protest goals?
And like, the problem of normie libs being instinctive snitches because they fear "provocateurs" when they see someone valorously setting a dumpster fire as a barricade is so universal. Like a fucking ton of normie moms in any movement with sufficient numbers are gonna have the same reaction.

Absent The Event Occurring and the entire GOP directly apologizing for threats to Canadian sovereignty
What happens when JD Vance wins in 2036 after 8 years of President Warnock? There’s no path back to the relationship of pre 2025 without the Republican Party getting completely deleted from the landscape.

Minnesota is not protesting for open borders that is correct
I think this post really exemplifies the liberal mindset.
The liberals see the evil actions of the state and want it to stop affecting them and their community.
They want to return to the days of regular police with judicial warrants disappearing these people, not the disappearing apparatus gone.

This is an extremely clarifying comment: these people think that this is somehow their war and they’re mad that regular folks are fighting it. That’s not what’s happening. Minnesotans are rallying to ensure their neighbors can’t be stolen in secret. It’s not even ideological.

The Minneapolis protests are resonating with the country because there has been no rioting or property damage! Stephen Miller wants a fight with black bloc anarchists.
If random masked men are setting fires in your community, I think you should feel free to film them. Especially if dozens of other people and several national news crews are filming them. They are not "allies," they're arsonists. Grow up.

How does lighting a dumpster on fire help the protest?
"oh but those black bloc kids might be feds, only feds would set a trash can on fire"
No they are some anarchists who at worst got too excited and are doing some foolish escalatory things, do you hear yourself.
Tell them to knock it off, don't go proactively collect evidence for the Gestapo

to be kind of blunt, if the hardcore veteran activist organizer expertise that you bring results in "light a dumpster on fire, get mad that this is filmed" it's not really expertise anyone should respect, sorry. don't care how many little activism merit badges you have.

Fortunately the reaction from my local Seattle group has “lol get fucked”.
Ugh. The main anti-ICE group in Washington which has 44k followers on Facebook and has been going around to communities promoting classes is now promoting this anti-whistle nonsense for "harm reduction" reasons as well.

Can anyone show me a single instance where Stancil tried to make this about his personal brand?
I really doubt that the people in that rapid response know who he is. You're saying this as though this was an online feud as opposed to him being annoying as fuck and trying to make this his personal brand and make it all about himself

Or don’t set fires in random neighborhoods?
The general etiquette is diversity of tactics; that if you’re not into setting fires, you stand back and don’t set fires; other people might and you don’t film them, because your film could be subpoenaed as evidence.

Pyromaniac anarchists are the worst possible protestors and everyone should encourage them to fuck off.
Suggesting that black bloc is an inherently violent tactic can inspire newcomers to movement to see folks in bloc as threats and isolate them in ways that will escalate participants' risk.

Guy sitting in his apartment 500 miles away from Minneapolis “umm you’re doing it all wrong”
The funny part of this is that Will, and probably others, seem to think that they have new insights when they absolutely don't. What you are building isn't a sustainable movement and we will see why quite shortly.
If you read under a lot of the these claims, it’s the same thing: “Ignore the newcomers, they have no insights, pay attention to us instead.” Most of them don’t even live here. They are DESPERATE to remove the challengers, even if it means MN anti-ICE activists have to be expelled as threats.
