I'm sure the video above will be taken down in a few more hours/minutes, but I'll leave the link anyway. It shows a scuffle between New Mexico militia and leftist retards over a statue. The confrontation goes from pushing and shoving to shooting in a a few minutes. It's not entirely clear what happened; it seems like one of the leftists attacked the militia man with a skateboard and tried to assault him with it, and the militia man shot him.
The police are not trying to maintain order, so the citizen groups like militias try to do it, but they're not trained and don't have the right equipment or manpower. This is all by design. The oligarchs who both the militia and the commie protesters despise are using them to further their agenda.
The outcome of all this chaos is uncertain. I think the left wing retards are acting out and LARPing, but are mostly disorganized and incapable of strategic action. The right wing militia men are also LARPing retards, and they're also incapable of strategic action. It's just mob versus mob.
Anyway, one of the philosophically interesting things about these protests is their attempt to "rewrite" or erase history has probably happened 1000 times in the past. We don't know who were are our where we came from because of it. The heroic aspect of US history is also phony. The pioneers kind of sucked. Our system sucks. Lionizing the Indians is also phony--they sucked too.
There's a handful of notable exceptions to the suck-fest. In fact, the most fertile and interesting periods of US history were the frontier days, when things could have gone any direction and groups and civilizations mixed... inevitably people made the wrong/horrible choice, but some individuals did alright. David Zeisberger is a great example to study, or Johnny Appleseed is another one.
