Mr. Quinn discovered a thorny truth about the mayhem that unfolded in the wake of the police killing of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man in Minneapolis. It wasn’t mayhem at all.
While talking heads on television routinely described it as a spontaneous eruption of anger at racial injustice, it was strategically planned, facilitated and advertised on social media by anarchists who believed that their actions advanced the cause of racial justice. In some cities, they were a fringe element, quickly expelled by peaceful organizers. But in Washington, Portland and Seattle they have attracted a “cultlike energy,” Mr. Quinn told me.
Don’t take just Mr. Quinn’s word for it. Take the word of the anarchists themselves, who lay out the strategy in Crimethinc, an anarchist publication: Black-clad figures break windows, set fires, vandalize police cars, then melt back into the crowd of peaceful protesters. When the police respond by brutalizing innocent demonstrators with tear gas, rubber bullets and rough arrests, the public’s disdain for law enforcement grows. It’s Asymmetric Warfare 101.

First Look: Viola Davis and Chadwick Boseman in ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’ An anarchist podcast called “The Ex-Worker” explains that while some anarchists believe in pacifist civil disobedience inspired by Mohandas Gandhi, others advocate using crimes like arson and shoplifting to wear down the capitalist system. According to “The Ex-Worker,” the term “insurrectionary anarchist” dates back at least to the Spanish Civil War and its aftermath, when opponents of the fascist leader Francisco Franco took “direct action” against his regime, including assassinating policemen and robbing banks.

When will Biden renounce the racists in BLM and Antifa?
Go to bed with dogs, wake up with fleas.
“Racial Justice” is a club used by the Left to subjugate white America.
“Racial justice” is not justice . Those “anarchists” are only zmbie tools for wealthy powerfull people and groups
Anyone who willingly participates in one of these after-dark “protests” is a rioter - period, full stop.
Doesn’t matter if they personally commit an act of violence when they knowingly give cover to those who do.
Nobody with peaceful intentions protests after dark. Ever.
Well I just watched the local news and all yoi would know from that is that white supremicist groups are our greatest threat and that Trump won’t CONDEMN them... not a mention of Biden not condemning Leftist Black supremacist group BLM and Antifa. Theybjust completely flipped the reality. Itnis truly sickening how they create a narrative and every single news outlet parrots it. No mention of what so called white supremecy group Proud Boys has actually done? Just some random clip from a “expert” who proclaimed that far right groups arena MUCH GREATER threat than any leftt wing group.
This is what we have known all along. I am shocked the NYT published this. This is very important stuff. Until now the legacy media covered for the blackbloc while they created havoc and melted into the background. We need to watch this guy and see if he continues to tell this story or gets put down, figuratively or literally.
The New York Toilet Paper strikes again.
Insurrectionary anarchists, NYT code word for ANTIFA........
In the construction industry, it is easy to find someone to do ‘rip-out’ aka de-construction, and they do it with a smile. It is no great leap of logic to realize that there is an innate tendency to destruction within most people’s psyche but under most circumstances it is suppressed or diverted into other activities. When you have a functioning society, those who release that destruction, particularly in acts of arson and smashing, it is a singular or small group act and relatively easy to police.
Now, we are seeing a ‘release’ of the common restraints on such behaviors. The excuses do not matter, the results is all too real.As is usual it is the youth that forms the shock troops because they lack the perspective of seeing the long-term consequences of the destruction. Yes there ARE senior participants but they are the dedicated hard-core anarchists, the ones who have a near religious view of a utopia beyond the destruction.
Stupid is as stupid does and there are a lot of people being stuck on the STUPID!
As far as I know, this is the first time that one of the big MSM outlets has told the truth about Antifa and their involvement in orchestrating the riots. They didn’t use the name Antifa, but they labeled them as anarchists, and said they were provoking some of the “mayhem,” while letting others take the punishment from the police. While not the whole truth, it indicates an important change in the MSM attitude toward Antifa.
Their behavior is creating new racists where none existed before.
