I live in Portland, OR. Whenever I talk to my mum in New England she asks me about the terrible riots and murder-death-kill happening all around me. I tell her it's one side of one block in downtown, one night a week, when both the Patriot Prayer MAGAs and the news cameras show up at the same time, and hasn't happened at all for like a couple of years. Finally she gets frustrated with me and says "you're the only person I know who says that." I reply, "I'm the only person you know who lives here."

@pieist

How much of the Portland riots were instigated by /#BLM vs ?

@rudyschwartz@dobbs.town @freemo I

@voidabyss @rudyschwartz@dobbs.town @freemo I instigated them all personally by wearing a provocative t-shirt.

@pieist
I read your bio, you're a smart and funny guy, what did you mention on your provocative t-shit?

It's a good one! It's not provocative for me, but I can imagine some people get triggered by it and going crazy! 😂

@voidabyss @rudyschwartz@dobbs.town @freemo I'm liberal as all hell but honestly, when someone on the street hits me up saying "do you support reparations" I'm all like "look, I come from a long line of white trash and grifters, trust me, we never had any slaves". You wouldn't believe the look they give me. Or, y'know, maybe you would.

@pieist
Lmao 😂 so funny!

Being a liberal is not cool anymore it's like saying I am a conservative or a capitalist. If you're not a socialist or communist your not following the social trend.

Lived there for a year and participated in the George Floyd protests with the wall of moms.

I will gladly add my voice to yours.

Moved back home to NM, but yeah, it's not burning down.

@pieist @rudyschwartz@dobbs.town @freemo There are live traffic cameras in all major US cities that are viewable online. I don't understand why people don't fact-check some of these alarmist stories by just looking at the live camera views.

After a while it gets to be easy to spot when people believe things on the basis of wanting to believe them rather than having reasons to.
