Because pizza is actually code for cheese steak because we use ridiculous code words for other words instead of using actually encrypted emails and difficult terms when we communicate online.

Sites since the election... And right-leaning posters believe it without question. They also believed EVERYTHING they read abt Sec Clinton. Even tho Sec Clinton would have had to have the Illuminati on her payroll to have all the crap that fake news accused her of...

I know we joke about this, but then we'll talk about the people who were dressed all alike, in black, with faces covered, causing vandalism at Berkeley and elsewhere to harm how the peaceful protesters are viewed in the eyes of the citizenry. Who is organizing them? Is anyone paying them? Wouldn't it be delicious to have someone leak information about how they are recruited, organized, clothed and paid?

Most likely anarchists that believe that violence is the only way to fight the right wing (I forget the name of that group). Less likely, but just as plausible, is that they are right wing provocateurs.

Anarchists are just people who support organizing society on voluntary collective lines. They aren't trying to create chaos for chaos' sakes. They're mainly nonviolent radical idealists and good people.

The bloc are mainly nihilists if they're anything at all, and they've often caused violence by the state against the people they claim to be defending(which is why the bloc isn't very welcome in most antiracist events).

but I never heard back when I emailed. It would have been great to have gotten paid for doing what I was going to do anyway. Plus, I probably wouldn't have had to buy the map board and sharpie.

But we know that President Trump hired and paid actors to cheer for him on occasion. I wonder why that doesn't get mentioned anymore?

You'd think someone would have tried that by now.
