Revolution Books in Berkeley becomes target for right-wing groups
BERKELEY, Calif. (KGO) -- Revolution Books in Berkeley has been the target of several right-wing groups that have protested in front of the store. This weekend, things escalated when a small group threatened to burn the place down.
In cellphone video, a man and a woman are seen and heard insulting Reiko Redmonde, one of the volunteers of the bookstore. " You are so ignorant. Commie scum, you commie scum we're going to burn down your book store, you know that."

Mr. MAGA looks about exactly like I would expect. Lady is wearing Cap's shield on her shirt and that does make me a little upset. So, yeah. Not much to say other than the usual propensity for cognitive dissonance and hypocrisy continues to push new and interesting bounds.

Did you watch the suggested video from their perspective? Because these ignorant hicks posted their video of their threats. I hope they enjoy jail. Originally Posted by Slacker76

Is there a reason why they want to? Doesn't seem super clear.

Yeah not surprised and not intimidated, much credit to the woman standing up to the fragile Patriots spewing their racist BS.

Maybe I'm ignorant of politics, but what is a "woke independent"? Someone who claims to be above party lines and votes only for what he believes is for the good of the land? Originally Posted by Garnier Fructis

Berkeley is well started to become the center stage of extremism on both side.
But hey, they wouldn't be the first to attack Berkeley for stupid reasons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS_RKwCYcl8Google Diversity Memo

[...] we have an intolerance for ideas and evidence that don’t fit a certain ideology. I’m also not saying that we should restrict people to certain gender roles; I’m advocating for quite the opposite: treat people as individuals, not as just another member of their group (tribalism)..

Almost. The other characteristic is that while they claim to be above party lines, they're arguments and ideas almost exclusively align with one party. Originally Posted by cparle87

I didn't make this about race, the guy in the video in my opinion did, especially when he said Trump is going to get you people out of here, he wasn't talking about just communist. Originally Posted by cparle87

Revolution Books is still around? WTH, Moe's, Half-Price Books, Pegasus and Dark Carnival are all still around. How do they manage to stay in business in the age of Amazon.
