the far left that we all complain about is 8% of the population tops. If people start fighting back they die its that simple.

Eh, the old aristocratic elite was, like, 3% of the people. Turned out they were pretty effective at putting down uppity peasants. 8% of 330 million is still about 25 million people. 1% of that in outright enforcement is still a very hard to deal with force of about 250 thousand. And they own signifigantly higher share of the wealth, so their not really dependent upon their own numbers for a fighting force. How much after all for a million Latin American mercanaries indiferent to the local cause?

And when their plugged into a global elite like they are, well, its going to be hard for any one group to wield enough resources to meaningfully resist global preasure.
 
The ADL published an article about the threat of "extremists" one year after El Paso. Funniest shit I ever seen.




In the twelve months since El Paso, right-wing extremists have not carried out any deadly mass shooting attacks – but the threat remains significant.

"nothing we want to make a fuss about has happened yet, but if you're not stressing out over 'the threat' you're wrong!"

In the 12 months since the El Paso attacks, one right wing extremist mass shooting attack resulted in injuries, but no deaths. In May 2020, Armando Hernandez Jr., described by law enforcement as an incel, wounded three people when he opened fire at a shopping mall, allegedly targeting couples.

That doesn't sound like a white name to me.

Right-wing extremists have certainly killed people in the U.S. since the El Paso attack. ADL’s Center on Extremism has identified at least 15 such murders so far, 10 of them by white supremacists. However, many of the murders were non-ideological in nature and none were part of a mass shooting. The deaths in the El Paso shooting itself considerably outnumber those all the people killed by right-wing extremists in the 12 months since.

Woah, almost as many murders as the number of unarmed black men killed by cops every year.

But this is not to say that right-wing extremists haven’t been trying to cause more casualties and do more damage. It’s just that they haven’t been very successful (here ADL defines a “successful” attack as one that wounded or killed people or, if the target was property, succeeded in doing damage).
The Center on Extremism has tracked at least 18 terrorist incidents (attacks, attempted attacks and plots) by right-wing extremists in the U.S. since the El Paso shooting. White supremacists were responsible for nine of these incidents, while anti-government extremists accounted for five more. Anti-abortion, incel, and anti-Muslim extremists were involved in the remaining four.
...

In all the above cases, federal or state/local law enforcement stopped the alleged perpetrators before attacks could be carried out.
One of the main reasons for the relative lack of extremist success has been increased vigilance by law enforcement around the dangers of right-wing extremist violence, especially the threats posed by the newest generation of white supremacists, as well as a new wave of anti-government extremists. However, future attacks are possible and the threat level remains high.

First it's "the FBI isn't doing enough to stop these people", now it's "the number of arrests made by the authorities show how high the risk is". Make up your mind.

You get the idea.
Their interactive "H.E.A.T." map is also telling. The largest number of "anti-semitic incidents" are concentrated in New York, LA, and Brooklyn, not exactly bastions of white supremacy. I wonder who could be responsible for the vast number of physical incidents there...
You will also note that this article makes no mention of the Jersey City shooting where Black Israelite extremists rampaged through the city's Jewish section.

I doubt they're actually wrong. Still not going to make me vote for Biden. I will not choose my vote to appease a mob.

Larry Elder was talking about this on his radio show yesterday, anti-Semitism in the Black Community. So I did some digging/internet searching... :p

"Anti-Semitic Propensities" by Race, According to the Anti-Defamation League

The news about one of the suspects in the Jersey City shooting at a kosher supermarket apparently having been a...
reason.com reason.com

According to an October 2016 Anti-Defamation League survey, "anti-Semitic views" among black respondents were materially more common than among whites, with 23% of black respondents scoring high on the ADL's scale, compared to only 10% of whites. The results remain largely the same when aggregating the ADL's 6 surveys from 2007 to 2016; between that and the oversample of blacks and Hispanics among the 1532 respondents in 2016, the comparison seems likely to be pretty reliable.

Likewise, 31% of Hispanic immigrants score high on the ADL's scale, as do 19% of U.S.-born Hispanics, compared to 10% of whites. ("White" here presumably means "non-Hispanic white.")

Example number 42136 of progressives contradicting themselves:
The same people standing behind the lie that Trump skipped visiting the Belleau Wood memorial because he claimed it was full of losers obviously didn't read the book by John Bolton they were praising a few months ago, because he writes that the visit was avoided due to...bad weather.


Nothing about him calling the dead "losers".



"Trump called vietnam a stupid war"
...and democrats...take offense to this...?

And Bolton confirmed it in an interview today as well.

 
So, there is a podcast I listen to on Patreon called Versus Media. By Stephen Miller (no, not that one), a former writer at National Review and Heat Street, the podcast deals with the failure of media as an institution. He brought out his podcast on the Atlantic piece, and tears into Jeffrey Goldberg and the staff for failing to meet even one standard of Journalism. He also guesses why this report came out so long after incident (foreign policy seems to be main culprit)



Fair warning, a Never Trump guy, but he is also among those that thinks Trump is temporary, and the media problems will be with us more long term.

the Media has forgotten that journalistic ethics are there for a reason.
