What if it were the Proud Boys burning cities like Seattle and Portland, and not Antifa?

Do you feel like the powers that be would have let it go on this long? Do far left Marxist groups of thugs operate with some sort of impunity? I don't feel wrong in saying that if it was a conservative faction of citizens causing this magnitude of destruction, that it would be dealt with a heavier hand.

Without a doubt it would be. If it were actually white nationalists like the CCP media wants you to believe, this would have been over the first night.

It would look totally different according to the media. PBs would be *white supremacists* and an existential threat.

Then we would be winning?

No way.

In a sense. It's like this. Whackos from the Right do something stupid, and not only does it have to be punished, it has to be condemned and if anybody, right or left, doesn't adequately condemn it, they are tarred and feathered.
The Right doesn't hold the Left to account in the same way, so Lefty politicians, media, etc just cynically go about their business like Minneapolis burning is no big deal, and in fact a good thing - "forests must burn before growing" (or whatever the moronic Mass AG said).
I blame the Right for this. We aren't good at politics, and accept being bullied like it's our calling.

Example of what would happen:

On May 17, 2015, in Waco, Texas, United States, a shootout erupted at a Twin Peaks restaurant where more than 200 persons, including members from motorcycle clubs (MC) that included the Bandidos, Cossacks, and allies, had gathered for a meeting about political rights for motorcyclists.
[1] Law enforcement, which included 18 members of the Waco police and 4 state troopers, had gathered to monitor the restaurant and meeting from outside, and, according to police, "returned fire after being shot at".
[2] Nine bikers were killed, 18 others wounded or injured,[2] and 177 individuals were ultimately arrested and initially detained in connection with the shootout, most for alleged participation in organized crime.[3][4]
According to The New York Times, "the response by prosecutors was widely criticized as brazen overreach".[5]
According to the Waco Tribune-Herald, the shootout led to a "four-year prosecutorial fiasco that resulted in zero convictions."[6]
