    It's like I said below. Fascists keep coming back to the PNW because they think the antifascists up there are easier to handle and tbh I think they're right...

      Antifascists: Fend off a bunch of armed and aggressive chuds, cause them to disperse and end their gathering. Wreckers on the internet: Meh, I could've done better.

      What have you done to fight fascism lately, and based on your own experience with it, would you have differently in this situation?

        PDX antifa fucked up Andy Gno and has to bash the fash back multiple times a year. Literally every time we send them home packing ahead of schedule and force them to retreat to the pigs, and we now have multiple antifa groups organizing against them. I don't know what else we could do short of literally forming a vanguard and killing every proud boy or declaring the city an autonomous zone

          If you're gonna criticize your fellow leftists for not beating the nazis by enough, while sitting on home on your phone, then yeah you're a wrecker and you can fuck right off as far as I'm concerned.

      Eh I don't think so. There is a lot of tensions there because the countryside is filled to the brim with ideological fascists and the cities are filled with leftists. In most rural areas the racism is out of ignorance, but PNW racists read books on white nationalism.

      They keep coming back to PNW because it's a fucking haven for white supremacists since Oregon was founded as a literal white supremacist state.

        This is the thing. Lots of Oregon and Eastern Washington are actual fucking white supremacist hotbeds. That's why there are so many in the PNW. This shit isn't rocket science. I mean one of the fucking KKK headquarters in the panhandle in Idaho is a hop and a skip from there.

          Everyone thinks Portland and Seattle are the whole of the PNW when everything east of the Cascades is Chudtown, USA, and our troops are fighting over a hundred years of that shit.

            yeah, it wasn't that long ago that oregon fash took over a gov building for weeks, or the time the oregon fash bomb threatened Salem, or the time the oregon fash participated helped republicans run from the state to flee voting on extremely weak carbon taxes. Oregon votes blue because of the the cities, the rural parts fucking HATE us and are full of MAGA types
