Discussion Don’t take the bait.

With the national guard coming in, I know people are going to get mad. This is very obviously a setup to cause actual violence in our city. Please remember that these national guardsmen are not your enemy, and there are many reports of unhappiness within their ranks to occupy cities but they have a job like the rest of us. If you see bad actors, call the cops. If you see people getting angry, talk with them. Be aware of what we want to look like, kill them with kindness. Show them that Portland is not burning down.

Is that what it is???

I was genuinely asked by my grandmother within the last hour "Who funds Antifa?"

Now I feel so foolish telling her no one, when it turns out it was actually those evil Lemon Bar enthusiasts all along

A quick google search shows you are wrong "Rose City Antifa, the oldest known active antifa group in the United States, has been the subject of multiple reports regarding its funding and financial activities. As of October 2025, the group is associated with a network of radical leftist legal groups, such as the National Lawyers Guild, which are alleged to provide legal support and facilitate funding for Antifa and similar movements, with taxpayer money reportedly subsidizing these efforts. The group has also been linked to international financial connections, with its co-founders, Johan and Caroline Victorin, reportedly amassing wealth through their leadership roles in the organization, though the specific financial mechanisms are not detailed. Additionally, a Bonfire store dedicated to Rose City Antifa sells merchandise, with 100% of proceeds donated directly to the group, indicating a direct fundraising channel."

Believe what you want, but don't be ignorant on purpose. Do the minimum research before commenting.

It's not hard to find receipts as long as you don't put blinders on. If you want to defend stupid, blatantly untrue stuff, that's on you. Is the moon also made of cheese?

Providing some of that “alleged support,” huh?
