Bud: “The idea that ‘elites hate us and want us die’ is a form of flattery. Elites don’t care enough about plebs to hate them. They just don’t care that they exist.”

Michael Tracey: “The low-grade brawlers in DC (and previously Portland) are just there to perform for the cameras; it’s a theatrical production, all about the self-gratification, and has no wider bearing on political reality in the United States.”

Bud: “I would argue all the antifa stuff and its coverage (andy ngo riot porn) adds up to nothing. It’s all performance and not real violence. Just morons/plebs brawling. In the iphone camera era, 99pct of all events are social media performance, attempt to get ‘viral.’ People are living content lives, tons of entertainment etc.”
