However if trashing and burning your favorite city is your thing I think one of the anarchist group might be mote to your liking.like https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/meet-the-youth-liberation-front-the-militant-group-promoting-a-marathon-of-angry-portland-protests/

I have no idea if the two groups are tight.

then Oath Keepers or the Proud Boys or the 3 Percenters or Patriot Prayer or any number of RW Militias might be more to your liking.

I have an idea that those groups are tight.

Rose City Antifa is basically a Facebook group that used to share information, but they've largely stopped posting anything since Michael Reinoehl was summarily executed by the US Marshals (after using a handgun in self-defense against a known Fascist street brawler).

My post was simply to point out that Antifa does actually exist. So if you care to join them there us a starting point for you. My other point was that as far as the violent rioting thst occurs out here. The aforementioned anarchist group has unabashedly taken ownership of doing the damage in Portland on numerous occasions.
My personal opinion is that the violent rioters are a bag of assholes. No matter what side they are on.

Same here. My dad was a language translator on the front lines chasing Nazis out of Belgium, France and Northern Africa.

If you don't know where Auntie Fa is, then clearly you don't need to know.
