I have followed Naomi Klein since No Logo, and the Shock Doctrine was excellent. But more recently Klein has resorted to the conformity of shitlib talking points related to punditry on the populist Left, calling them conspiracy theorists. Really disappointing and condescending critique that only serves established power and interests.

Thanks for covering the attacks on the feminists at the library. They got so little media coverage, in part because the fascists stole their go pros and cell phones. I hadn’t heard about the unmasked anarchists. Sheesh!

really hard to take you seriously when you claim the matrix is in your opinion "one of the best movies ever made" and then make up plot points like "aliens took over to suck up human energy".

There are no aliens in the matrix. Aliens are never suggested, or even hinted at.

then of course you go on to suck on the teat of transphobes who claim to be feminists and yet want trans women to be eliminated.

You are one of the most sane people I know, David. The Antifa loony tunes you are talking about, along with the collections of purple hair, body piercing, alphabet soup sexual deviates are mentally ill. As you say, you can't win an argument with a lunatic so save your breath. That particularly goes for anyone religious. Religions are based on "faith". Faith is what you fall back on when there is no evidence to support your belief system. Anyway, keep on keeping on . . . you're on the right track, not a siding.

Maybe just time to get out of Portland?
