Just a little pro tip:
If you're planning on attacking gargoyles, I know the temptation is huge, but do not attack gargoyles near your home.
Your targets need to be distant and random. I'm not saying to exclude them entirely (in fact, doing so is as much a signal as only doing those), but if you stick to those closest to you, you're just making your enemy's job easier.
From what I have seen, they are also not willing to compromise. They are deadly serious about succeeding.
They are not dumb. Do not make the mistake of underestimating them.
The only good news is they think we are really dumb . in some ways, they are right
I'm so sick and FUCKING TIRED of the establishment Republicans' Democrat-light approach in Oregon.
Here's why this strategy has failed YOU for 20+ years:
It's not authentic.
The DSA is dangerous and brainless. But, as insanely stupid as these people are, they are authentic.
The NAV's and moderate Dems don't buy our bullshit because they can smell it from a mile away.
The only way we can stop the spread of DSA communism in Oregon (and across the country) is if we stand up for American Populism with COURAGE.
No reservations. No fear. No bullshit.
People follow COURAGE. If we don't have the courage to fight for what we believe in, we don't have the character to win and save this nation from the threat within.
Here is the thing. Monuments are immutable representations of the highest culture. If a city can't defend what it considered the highest expression of culture, it should lose custody and rights. They allowed the culture of Portland to die. Restoring a statue does not bring the culture back.
So, they won't give us back the Theodore Roosevelt or Abraham Lincoln statues Antifa rioters destroyed on Columbus Day, 2020;
instead, all we get is the Thomas Elk Fountain Antifa destroyed during the 2020 Summer of Love Riots - for only 2-million taxpayer dollars.
Portland..
My observation, which repeats through history. When income inequality goes above 50% (10% own more than 50% of the wealth), wars seem to happen. Aren't most wars about stealing money? When its gathered at the top, not so many people to rob.
Look…I don’t think anyone expects a politician to not be a LITTLE scummy. Okay skimming a few coppers here and there I think people kind of expect that. But this Orwellian hellscape that is playing out before us is very telling. The fact that they know we know and don’t care is telling. It’s never been like this. Ever. In the 80s and 90s people knew politicians were scumbags and they didn’t care because the economy was good, they had buying power, and generally things were awesome. I don’t know any other way to say it…if you’re going to be a scumbag…fine…but you better make damn sure your country isn’t being ran into the gutter. If your answer is “LET THEM EAT CAKE” then don’t surprised if the outcome is the same. Actually, the outcome will be 100 times worse.
@TinaKotek Girl we wanted the national guard!!!! I drove by the ice facility the other day and it was a shit show of weirdo government grifting weird white haired old folks like you with protest signs! Embarrassing!
You could add that by her NOT enforcing immigration law, where she has some control, it defaults to Federal law enforcement. She is responsible for Feds/ICE in Oregon.
Every single illegal must be deported.
Thank you, Tina Kotek, for radicalizing me. The more you aid, abet, and harbor illegals using my hard-earned paycheck, the more I want every single "free" social services program shut down. You did this, Tina, and people like me are responding.

Community Notes for the win on this mentally ill family where the dude pretended to be a girl to compete in West Virginia.
He competed in the girls state track meet just a month or so ago.
Thankful the Supreme Court ruled to protect biological females across the country.
Fireworks that fly into the air, explode, or travel more than 12 feet horizontally on the ground are illegal to have, sell, or use.
If you're caught breaking the law, you could face a fine of up to $2,500. https://t.co/qskROyOQjd
If data centers eventually get us to the end of the labor economy, why not push for it?
They will also make ugly office buildings obsolete. Who doesn't want that?
Same shit applies for marriage, but the rules are clear - no marriage before 18 years old in Washington state. Where are the outraged politicians standing up for 13 year old getting married?
They just have no firm grip on reality.
Don't lose hope. These things repeat throughout history.
There is no room for incompetence. Its always beaten in the end .
We are blame . When we take our culture for granted, and it is weakened, great people stop caring, and what replaces them are toads, filling the gap.
Oregon will come back, maybe sooner than you think.
Americans across the country and Oregonians across the state are actively destroying everything we should stand for.
My desire for the old American dream no longer exists. My desire for a better Oregon no longer exists. Apathy has fully set in.
My purpose going forward is to figure out how I can be a taker rather than a provider so I, too, can live the new Socialist Marxist American dream. I am done doing the right thing. I have only relied on social services twice in my life: I received unemployment benefits for a few weeks in 1990 (and felt guilty about it) and I received Paid Leave Oregon benefits for a necessary surgery that left me unable to work a few years ago. The latter was the most insufferable process (because it's Oregon's government services of complete ineptitude) and it took me 11.5 weeks to see a single dime of the benefits I pay into with every paycheck.
My goal now is to be the least productive member of society I can muster and to take advantage of what everyone else seems to be enjoying: Free everything with zero skin in the game.
Tina Kotek & Ko. have created a welfare state and SCOTUS has ensured generations of takers.
Good luck, y'all, I'm no longer willing to fund this insanity. It's time for me to get off the train to Use and Abuse and start being the user and abuser.

There are disadvantages, but no one under 130 would understand. For example, when you are clever enough to talk you way in or out of social situations, you never learn how to lie well.
At higher levels, you can practically read minds, or at least intention. We have to hide this knowledge.
Iq does not make you happier.
At 130, its high enough you are right about many things. This leads to a reverse Dunning effect - because you are more right, you assume you are always right, because there is no one to call you on being wrong . its the type I hate the worst. Impossible to change their minds .
