Activists Attack ICE In Los Angeles

This is great news.

I’ve missed these people so much. It is a shame they demobilized.

Donald Trump should consider paying Antifa to provide the optics to create the political pressure to get the Big Beautiful Bill, which is most of his “fascist” agenda, through Congress. Every House and Senate Democrat should also be asked whether they support the riots against ICE.

New York Times:

“Federal agents in tactical gear armed with military-style rifles threw flash-bang grenades to disperse an angry crowd near downtown Los Angeles on Friday as they conducted an immigration raid on a clothing wholesaler, the latest sign of tensions between protesters and law enforcement over raids carried out at stores, restaurants and court buildings.

The operation was one of at least three immigration sweeps conducted in Los Angeles on Friday. In the other one, federal agents converged at a Home Depot where day laborers regularly gather in search of work.

The raid at the clothing wholesaler began about 9:15 a.m. in the Fashion District, less than two miles from Los Angeles City Hall. …”

Americans hate disruptive activists.

It took me years to grasp and internalize this truth which now forms the basis of a lot of my thinking. Socially isolated, self righteous activists who are siloed away from reality on the internet get high on their own subcultural jargon and are constantly acting out in politically destructive ways.

UnHerd:

“On the night of 1 June 2020, almost exactly five years ago, gunshots rang out not far from my apartment in East Midtown Manhattan. As my wife and I anxiously scrolled news feeds, our kids — then ages three and one — slept, oblivious to the coruscating sirens that carried hints of chaos beyond our door. At 11pm, I went out to see it for myself: gangs of looters smashing stores down Lexington Avenue, while NYPD patrols stood pat, unwilling or unable to confront them. Black Lives Matter.

That night and its aftermath, I now believe, were the biggest factor behind the backlash rippling through US culture today. That was when a Covid-era tension finally snapped; and many millions resolved that every claim issuing from reputable authorities must be a lie. The beneficiaries: YouTube crackpots, semi-literate weightlifting bros, amateur Holocaust revisionists, manosphere goons, spittle-flecked “X” racists commanding huge audiences. …

But the coup de grâce came on 4 June, when public-health experts at the University of Washington published a letter encouraging mass gatherings in the name of BLM. “We do not condemn these gatherings as risky,” they wrote. “We support them as vital to the national public health.” Some 1,200 health experts and practitioners worldwide would sign the letter. The same authorities had pushed for restricting Catholic masses, Jewish funerals, kids playing in the park. …”

Sohrab Ahmari basically agrees with me.

June 3, 2020 was the peak of the woke mania.

For the last five years, the country has been going through a kneejerk reaction to 2020 – to the Branch Covidians, the chaos created by activists in the Summer of Floyd – and we have reaped an enormous political windfall because our weakened organizational state kept us out of the frame. The tide turned and the current upswing began when it was only these people acting out on television. It lifted Trump back to the White House and has pushed his immigration agenda through the House.
