Pretty good talk about the cancerous and absurd nature of "woke" culture.

I disagree.
Growing up on the wrong side of the tracks all my life, I'd agree with the sentiment. I'd like to think that most in the areas I lived in feel the same. There are obviously shitbirds and the bad apples that would rather hit the meth pipe and get behind "ACAB" but the vast majority are just on the day to day.
@Devildoc your post reminds me of this guy, and seeing it never gets old.

Who the fuck are you talking to?
If you’re feeling maligned, use the report function and we will make sure you’re not being held to an unfair standard.
If not though- quit being passive aggressive and implying the staff isn’t doing their jobs. I’ve seen it twice, and that’s two times too many.
The rest of your comment was a mess that has heat applied to it.
Thought you were all about open discussion and didn't mind dissenting viewpoints?
Don't bother answering that question, this line did it for you
On topic though;
We absolutely are seeing a number of anarchists/commie/actual socialist(IE workers control means)/dissident groups out and about causing chaos.
That doesn't mean it's all some plot concocted by the CCP/GRU/"libtards" to overthrow the country; it's that these groups always try and take advantage of public upheaval. They're parasites; they know most Americans wouldn't support them without some sort of emotional issue connected to it.
We've got freedoms enshrined in the Constitution that guarantee these people are allowed to have a voice; shit, the Constitution even gives them the ability to totally change the government if they can get the support to. To be attack people opposed to our current form of government as guilty of treason and sedition is ridiculous.
Words are not actions, no matter how much you don't like the words.
Also, I don't care that Bezmenov supports your viewpoint; I can find a bunch of Holocaust survivors who compare Trump to Hitler's fascist rise and the illegal immigrant internment camps to the work camps, but people would discredit that if they were politically opposed to it.

Your only source for the majority of your posts is this Bezmenov gentleman. And you rarely cite him directly, you reference him as though you’re citing a religious text.
You approach this entire topic like a religious zealot- you know he truth, nothing can dissuade you from that conviction, and everyone else is ignorant and lost until you can convert them.
Your “citations” for your arguments are the scholastic equivalent of saying “figure it out yourself.” Again, you reference Bezmenov over and over, expecting us to all go and research him as well as you have. Or appear to have- it’s quite likely you’ve indulged in 1-2 YouTube rabbit holes and became an acolyte.
If you made it clear this is all your “opinion” or based on a “feeling”- well who am I to argue with that. Think what you want. When you speak with absolute authority, with virtually no proof or references, you tend to draw the ire of the people you’re trying to “educate.”
99% positive I’m on your ignore list so... I’ll keep aimlessly talking to myself.
The Chinese, Russian's, Iranian's and so on; are all actively try to destabilize the western world. They always have. They aren't supporting any side, they just want chaos. There's no giant conspiracy or Marxist agenda. Same as there isn't some giant right wing, Boogaloo agenda.

Clearly Antifa and BLM riots have been well funded and well organized endeavors. They're clearly destabilizing our culture. I would agree with @R.Caerbannog and @Rapid that this has been a long time coming. The only reason that thousands of people hold these beliefs is because they've been educated along a specific tract.
Our education system has been highly left leaning for a very long time. There is minimal diversity of thought when it comes to whom is teaching at the University level. We're no longer teaching people to think and challenging them, or that is ideally what University education should be. But professors are wearing their political colors on their sleeves.
I have a friend that teaches AP classes to High School seniors. Their last exam before they take their AP exam always has the question, which of course has nothing to do with the subject they're taking is- "What political party do you think Mr [blank] supports". And he has said in the last five years the average always comes out to 50-50 D or R.
And as Sharpton says-only the rich latte liberal from the Hamptons thinks that defunding the police is an actual solution. Actual crime ridden communities want more, but, better policing.
Now I'll disagree with the whole prosecuting thousands of people with Sedition, there may be a handful of bad actors that you can successfully prosecute that. What I am completely in favor of is prosecutors doing their damn jobs and prosecuting rioters that burn down buildings, destroy businesses, and go into residential neighborhoods to intimidate people.

I wonder if that report has changed much since I posted it 8 days ago in this post?

Interesting read on the terrorism problem in America.

That was interesting; especially the definitions. Awfully broad and with room for interpretation. For sure the definition, breadth, and scope of domestic terrorism has changed over 30+ years... hijackings and kidnappings are passe now, the activities in the article have increased.

Honest question on my part, because you have the Left interpreting one thing from that data set and the right interpreting another.

I don’t think it has changed but the way they seem to explain the data seems bias at least to me

Oh, the ACLED is clearly biased in their interpretation of the data for sure, and trying to downplay the violence is between annoying and despicable.
Right wing terrorism is said to be the most common since the 90s, yet I can only think of 1 large right wing attack in the past few years, the clown who shot up a Walmart somewhere. California, Pulse Nightclub, vehicle attack near me at Ohio State all jihad inspired...haven't heard of an abortion bombing or racial killing in a while.
