I still troll Reddit when I'm bored sometimes, mostly by posting bad information then using logical fallacies to argue with confidence. You know, old school trolling where you just try to see how stupid you can act while getting away with it.

What I've noticed is that when I do this in any other community, people will identify it as a joke and laugh (or see it as outright trolling, which it is, and dismiss it). Reddit is the only place where users consistently think I'm serious and write out multiple paragraphs explaining why I'm wrong, then do it again when I give a blatantly useless retort like "everyone I know agrees with me, though."

Considering Reddit is, once again, the only place that reacts this way to me has given me firsthand experience that yes, these people are not only dumb, but they also are desperate to prove they are not. It is a profoundly insular community despite its size.

So you're actually happening upon a lefty thing where they HAVE to argue with you because their standing in the social hierarchy demands it. It's like two elk smacking their antlers together.

BullfrogReview has a great column about doing this with ChatGPT. Because ChatGPT is trained to speak like a midwit wordcel -- i.e., a leftist -- if you ask ChatGPT to make an argument for you it does so in a very leftist way, which triggers their territorial instincts. They HAVE to confront and debate you in order to prove that they're the bigger midwit wordcel.

Ice Cube says his crew's bus was set on fire by "a coward" and he is not taking the incident as a personal attack. The right front tire was set ablaze and the window on that side was broken.

Times of India reported the fire as an attack by Antifa and posted a shitty video composed of stock photos and Twitter screenshots, but since when do we listen to India? They reported a group of people were hurling objects at the bus before firebombing it, "according to reports". India Times had a similar article.

Numerous people posted retweets and comments about how much they hate the left, antifa, etc, and that Portland is in chaos.

Yahoo! News posted a fact checking article. They said that as of September 27, 2025, no suspects or motives have been identified.

KGW8 says an investigator has been assigned to the incident, and the investigation is ongoing, with a team working to acquire security camera footage from the area.

Portland Fire and Rescue did not post about this incident on X/Twitter or Facebook, where they are normally pretty active.

I agree with the sentiment, but ICE probably doesn't even have the manpower to deal with some of these situations. Arresting a couple hundred people requires more than a couple hundred people if you want to do it safely, and if you don't have enough one of these cowards will crack an officer in the back of the skull when a window opens. Unless your willing to escalate to violent force multipliers, the nat guard is a necessary step just to have enough bodies to deal with these fucks.

The other step required is replacing DA's that let these people go. I don't care if they were elected, their election still involves swearing an oath to the laws of the land, and if they're not acting on that, they get a boot, I don't fucking care anymore.

Careful. Musk is only in it for himself, but the times when he's on your side are nice.

I have wanted to backhand him multiple times for things he's said but I truly believe there's a path to (relative) clarity for him.

His obsession with Indian labor stems from his gen xitude and his obsession with numbers. It seems to have never crossed his mind that degrees rating institutions lie and such. He wants to look at a spreadsheet and come to a conclusion, indians are nothing if not skilled at wriggling their way into that system.

But musk is a south african boer. He's likely the one who got trump to call out the genocide. He knows damn well what can happen apparently he just hasn't put the pieces together.

Us GenX fags doubt institutional imprimatur more than anyone before or after us.

Elon believes the first chart he's shown, because he's a 95 IQ nerd.

Also he's been as high as Paul Bunyan's balls for every minute of this century.

This is SOP for the Portland police. They're literally in the mayor's antifa-loving pocket and under direct orders not to directly engage with (or arrest/injure) antifags. Why is this guy acting surprised by this?

ETA: This is why they're so terrified of federal law enforcement agencies moving in on Portland. There is no law and order there and the local police are completely ideologically captured by the radical left. They know they can do whatever they want so long as their own police force is the authority there. The moment feds arrive in force and start to act against violent threats, they know the game's up and they'll lose their stranglehold on the city instantly.

Antifa is only a "force" of any kind in Portland because the local government allows it and actively punishes anyone who fights back. Take that away and they'll fold up like a card table just like they do everywhere else people stand up to them and push their shit in.

The DOJ is going federal on these retards now. They're going to put them in federal prisons. Federal criminal charges result in pleas or convictions ~95% of the time.
