Andy Ngo’s Antifa Book

From Patreon, Reporter Michael Yon, 2 March 2021, 8:33 AM.

Here is the lede plus four:

I just finished reading Andy’s book during a flight.  Highly recommend.

Much of the book is familiar to me due to spending significant time with Antifa, and similar groups.  In short, Andy’s book is accurate and solid writing.  Solid thinking.  Real journalists do still exist but Antifa has a “bounty” on Andy.

Interesting that in Andy’s last Chapter, Andy conveys similar thoughts that I published about Antifa in Atlanta, and some others in Portland, and so on.

Those thoughts being that a lot of the Antifa whom I see, I don’t demonize, but sense that they are living in or coming from difficult life circumstance.

Many just need a mission in life that is positive and also rewarding in the various ways we all wish to be rewarded.  Life without a mission is hollow.  Find a mission, but make it something positive.  Or give them a positive mission and facilitate their success.

I don't think ANTIFA has gone anywhere.  We are already seeing renewed "mostly peaceful" demonstrations in Portland, Oregan, these last couple of weekends.  Mr Ngo's book would be a good introduction to what is likely to happen this Summer.  The Election of President Joe Biden has not satisfied the demands of the Marxist ANTIFA Types.

And, Mr Yon's advice is good.  The People following ANTIFA need to be offered alternatives for their energy and intellect.
