    Do you remember the 90s? People were talking about getting piercings and tribal tattoos. People were singing about saving the planet and forming bands. There's a place where that idea still exists as a reality -- Portland. Remember when people were content to be unambitious. They sleep until 11am. Just hung out with their friends. They had no occupations whatsoever. Maybe work a couple hours a week at a coffee shop. Portland is a city where young people go to retire.

    Seriously, Oregon was created as a white-only state. Oregon and Portland was historically racist and bad place. Then in the 00s it became hip to live there so everyone moved there from California and there was a lot of gentrification. Probably for a decade now the city has street fights between antifa and chuds. The Pacific Northwest of the US has lots of white nationalists and anti-state right wing extremists. There have been literal terrorist training camps there. Huge part of the militia movement in the 80s and 90s. Portland is this very liberal place surrounded by lots of chuds.

      Is that also why chuds hate California so much? Because the cost of living is so high, many Californians are going to move to what they feel are "their" states, and what happened to Oregon (it's electorally a solid blue state because of one city) will happen to, say, Texas?

        There are a lot of homeless people which chuds hyper fixate on if it's a liberal city because they are making the streets unclean.

      No, you boomer.

      But anyways, doesn't sound so bad. Why the war zone narrative?

        Portland is an isolated cosmopolitan center in a state where it was literally illegal to be black until like 1940

        It also has relatively few people the chuds are genuinely scared of. Ever notice that the chuds never do armed invasions of "hellhole" areas of cities where gun violence is relatively common and the people they'd face wouldn't be pasty noodle-armed glorified posters?

        Thus it's a soft easy target and a place where they think they can have fun. They want to go own the bluehairs and make good social media content, not to die.

            I'm sure there will be plenty of time. It's just going to take a few more years...
