Christopher Skeet writes in part in the American Thinker,
On October 6, some Antifa sock puppet addressed the Portland city council. Somewhere near the beginning of his insipid rant, he claims, “I represent a mass of humanity, we’re tired, hungry, poor, and huddling.” My initial response to this claim was a weird combination of indifference and shock. Indifference at its vapidity, and shock at the possibility that this guy actually believes this about himself. Be that as it may, I'll try to unpack it.
Are you “tired” because you spent the night awake playing Call of Duty? Are you “hungry” because mom hasn’t yet made her weekly run to Whole Foods? Are you “poor” because you have no concept of what that word means, and that the poorest 20% of U.S. households (of which I doubt you're a part) still consume more than the overall average in Canada and Sweden? Are you “huddling” because the police crammed too many of you in the back of the transport van?
...So it seems that whatever excuses the Antifa thugs tell themselves to justify their animalistic behavior, poverty cannot be one of them. Books will be written as to their underlying motivations – arrogance, narcissism, envy, nihilism, projection, boredom, sociopathy, etc. But honest self-reflection won’t be one of them, because such a virtue would lead them to acknowledge that there are more black people in the Ku Klux Klan than there are “tired, hungry, poor, and huddling” in Antifa.
