“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…”
Guillotines are making a comeback in the popular imagination…
I heard on Mastodon that the shitbag isn’t even a proper Bourbon. He is supposedly Franco’s grandson however, if you’re curious about what political opinions he might hold.
I was heartened by all the diversity in protests yesterday, but this thread shows there’s a lot of evidence of white agitators coming in just to stir shit up. I know this isn’t a shock to many of you but this thread is well worth reading.
Meanwhile, Barr is blaming antifa and left extremists for the recent riots.
Have you had a dig through his twitter feed? The comments from his regular followers are an absolute festival of bootlicking, approaching fetish level.
I’d expand your sources a bit beyond Aziz [1]; he was pushing that line hard all yesterday, but he is in no way representative of a universal consensus. And the imagery he’s using is heavily cherry-picked.
There are class issues at play here as well; lotsa working class kids involved on the streets, and Aziz recently bought a house.

Attempts to break up protests in Philly and Wilmington, DE:
Here’s some detail on that Fox “journalist” chased out of the White House protest:
Thank you for re-posting this tweet. I read her thread and I was both saddened and inspired by her story.
I’m sure many people have already pointed this out but there seems to be a tremendous amount of overlap between the “we need our guns in case we need to rise up against an oppressive out-of-control government” crowd and the “there’s no excuse for violent or destructive protests” crowd.
A Venn Diagram remarkably similar to a circle.
Cue the concern trolling cries of, “why would you bring a child?” versus “they pepper sprayed a child, what the actual fuck?”
Not a pretty scene in Rochester, NY and it’s suburbs
What a fucking shit brick!
Shit has really taken a turn for the worse in Seattle in the past hour. Rioting, looting, and fires in the downtown core. The mayor is declaring a curfew in just a few minutes.
Stay safe, my Seattle friends.
