#2 Local gangs probably aren't as keen to have their turf messed with by lily white children of privilege.

#3 I haven't seen any Antifa riots in SF.

Perhaps Antifa is afraid of the poop in the streets.

#7 Apparently police has the capability to easily defeat and neutralize Antifa/BLM type rioters.

The devastating riots became possible only because the police's political leadership lacked the intent to quell them.

The rioters are de facto agents of leftist local and state governments (next year possibly the federal government) acting with somewhat plausible deniability.

The respective leftist governments aren't 'weak' or 'feckless.' They're effectively using force.

#8 If/When the leftist politicians realize they are after their jobs, the ground pounders will be in for a surprise.

#10 Uh oh, just saw a Biden commercial stating the rioters should be prosecuted.

That your riotous cause is due to Trump.

Watch out Blamtifa, those politicians are going to politician and are selling you out.

#11 Oh noes Blamtifa.

How do you suppose those politicians will be now that you've been caught red-handed starting the forest fires?

#12 It has occurred to me that now that Big Corporate, especially Sportsball, Inc. is super tied to the BLM message, and the BLM is super tied to Antifa thanks to the white Antifa kids causing violence in the name of BLM, that Big Corporate has a vested interest in the appearance of BLM and may consider, shall we say, private and discrete ways of dealing with those who are ruining their imaging campaign...

#13 And one of the BLM reps in the NFL for the NY Jests just got nabbed in a $28million scandal involving the PPP programs.

Wonder how many BLM honchos will be begging for a plea cooperation deal by the end of the week.

#14 Big Corp bought into Blamtifa he way they bought into gerbil worming: as a way to buy Virtue on the cheap. They call that "greenwashing."

Giving hundreds of millions to Blamtifa is blackwashing. To be expensed on the corporate income statement under "Marketing"

#15 Sportsball, Slave Shoes, and EntertainMouse (among others) in this marketing and branding didn't get a snazzy new suit or catchy prop, they got tattoos.

They are courting China for the future, but their bread and butter is still the USA. Literally each of those industries have $billions on the table.

Every time someone is kept from commuting home after work, every time people are harassed as they are eating or shopping, every time decent people are dragged to seminars to be yelled at, every time someone gets thumped, their image is tarnished, sympathy dimensihed, customers lost.

What is to keep them from hiring and bribing agents in the BLM movement to influence the message to their favor? Whats to keep them from performing a coup on the leadership? And to do that, they will have to purge the current honchos.

BLM, Antifa, and Mega Corporation are all relying on political influence to increase their influence and bottom line. That is the realm of the politician, and if we know anything about politicians they will sell their influence up to the point where it threatens their power, which is their bottom line.

They may all be nominally on the same side, but they are not on the same team. The olde guard may be fine, but the ambitious ladder climbers probably aren't having spent years to position themselves as the next line to be sold out when they become threats to each other and the established honchos within their own team.

They've all stabbed each other in the back already, the suspicion and office politics must be excruciating.

#16 The ground pounders must know that at any moment, they can be rolled up, their cells compromised, as a pawn on the chess board.

The Capital Pieces must know, that the pawns move and attack both direction in this game.

The pawns only win if all the Capital Pieces are eliminated and survive the opposing side. The Capital Pieces win only if the opponent is defeated and there are too few 'friendly' pawns left to take them out.

#17 That’s some good chess.
