The phenomenon of the upper-crust elites attempting to orchestrate revolution on behalf of the downtrodden is nothing new.
On October 6, some Antifa sock puppet addressed the Portland city council. Somewhere near the beginning of his insipid rant, he claims, “I represent a mass of humanity, we’re tired, hungry, poor, and huddling.” My initial response to this claim was a weird combination of indifference and shock. Indifference at its vapidity, and shock at the possibility that this guy actually believes this about himself. Be that as it may, I'll try to unpack it.
Are you “tired” because you spent the night awake playing Call of Duty? Are you “hungry” because mom hasn’t yet made her weekly run to Whole Foods? Are you “poor” because you have no concept of what that word means, and that the poorest 20% of U.S. households (of which I doubt you're a part) still consume more than the overall average in Canada and Sweden? Are you “huddling” because the police crammed too many of you in the back of the transport van?
Here is a brief cross-section of the “tired, hungry, poor, and huddling” foot soldiery of the radical Left:
Clara Kraebber, who attends the prestigious Rice University, was arrested for felony rioting in New York City. Police found dozens of handwritten notes of hers outlining “revolutionary strategy” inspired by Josef Stalin. Kraebber’s mother is an architect and her father a professor, and they own a $1.8 million apartment on the Upper East Side. They also own a mansion in Connecticut.
Frank Fuhrmeister, who studied fine arts and photography at Florida State College, was arrested for felony rioting in New York. He lives in Stuyvesant Heights and is a freelance art director who does work for corporations (assumedly fascist) such as Pepsi and Samsung.

These leftists just want to tear everything down. Ever wonder how the Roman Empire fell? We are watching it.
Is that surname a contraction of “Führer“ (“leader”) and “meister” (“master”)? If so, certainly is appropriate as all commies deem themselves Master Leaders.
Google translate says it means “driver.”
BLM supporters are usually self-hating white liberals.
Was it Eric Hoffer who wrote that the masses are not interested in making revolution, they’re interested in making a living?
I don’t remember that quote, but Hoffer is a goldmine of wonderful, true statements.
