Eh, fk the "both sides" argument.

Those guys on the bottom are the COUNTER to the Left's naked attempt at overthrowing the government.

Spot on, but he could have ended it after the first 10 words.
Never use more words than necessary, as it just waters your point down.

This. Let's simply refer to them as "reactivists."

I like it, but I would prefer saying "aimless" over "useless."

"Aimless" implies a lack of personal motivation, direction, and fulfillment, and I think fits the bill much better here.

"Useless" implies some sort of genetic disposition to being useless. It's an unnecessarily inflammatory descriptor in an otherwise very true and poignant statement.

He didn't actually tweet that, that account is someone who tweets his quotes, but yes absolutely accurate today. That quote is from an article he did about Eric Hoffer which you can read here and it is a must read to get the full context of the quote:

What if you go to work everyday and you are a productive member of society and you take a vacation day to go protest, are you a useless person for being politically active.

They also say women can have penises... You going to cede ground there and say that that's no different from people who say women can only have vaginas?

Sack up.

i understand that you are trying to show the circular motion this argument CAN take, but this quote is simply not true. the left is openly trying to "fundamentally change the US"...like black Jesus once said.

Without the top; There’d be no bottom.


Not vice versa.

Boston Tea Party says hello.

I like T. Sowell but, the tweet is a little off.

Read the article I posted above to get the actual context of the quote. Hes talking about people who have empty/meaningless lives so they jump on the bandwagon of a fake cause to fill that void. Like Antifa today.

Exactly how was the BTP counterproductive? Didn't it lead to a little thing called the Revolution thereby creating the United State of America?

As a theoretical argument you are correct. Most activists just want to feel important and do something and that goes to activists on both sides.

But in reality there are FAR more activists on the left than the right.

Remember the one time right wingers got all riled up and held protests because they were Taxed Enough Already? The media lost their shite, in part because it wasn't normal.

Nutjob leftists protesting, everyday occurrence.

Middle class people protesting taxes? PHE@R THE VIOLENCE!!!
