This is a considerable improvement over vandalizing historic landmarks and churches.
Wal-Marts and Targets are just the modern equivalents of company towns and sweatshops. Fuck ’em. Although this is no real skin off their ass. They will just write it off as a business loss and claim an insurance payout in the process.

By Troy Southgate The fact that America’s puppet-president is portraying Antifa as the main opponent of liberal democracy may have the champagne socialists squealing with delight, not to mention fuelling the Far Right’s delusional claim that Antifa itself is to blame for everything that is wrong with the […]
Not bad. This is straight out of the Maoist tactical guerrilla playbook.
Most likely what will happen is this: Trump’s incompetence and malevolence will essentially be the end of the GOP’s electoral chances, and Trump will be WASP America’s last stand. Even if Trump wins reelection, the GOP is demographically and culturally doomed. Meanwhile, the state, capitalism, and totalitarian humanism […]

Many mainstream liberal and conservative pundits/scholars alike try to get around this by claiming that the Constitution is somehow an abolitionist document because they don’t like the political and cultural […]
This may be an isolated incident, and the reason for it is unclear, but this is the kind of thing that happens in guerrilla insurgencies. Associated Press SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (AP) — A Santa Cruz County sheriff’s deputy was killed and two other law enforcement officers were wounded […]
This happened a few blocks from my residence. There was also a synagogue vandalized in my neighborhood the other night. These kinds of things happen during civil unrest, and Confederate monuments are a long-standing target for obvious reasons. But attacking the artifacts of other tribes is a bad […]
The killing of blacks by police under dubious circumstances is only the tip of the iceberg as far as problems with the police state. However reasonable and justified, the protests against police killings of blacks need to escalate into protests against police misconduct generally, including non-lethal misconduct involving […]

By Scottie Andrew CNN (CNN)There’s a growing group of dissenters who believe Americans can survive without law enforcement as we know it.

How about “No Countries Matter”? The first problem with this idea is that many Americans have no clue about the political significance of July 4. They think it’s just another day to partying and set off fireworks. I know people like this myself.

When a pig kills a black person, most (though not all) other blacks take it as a personal threat/affront that is a representation of institutionalized oppression, and correctly so. Even many white liberals and leftists, who view themselves as black allies, take such a position. But when a […]
