In Houston, the existential threat is nature. And Americans who wouldn’t share a meal are now sharing speedboats, attempting to help each other survive her wrath. Survival is the top priority; death is the ultimate enemy.

But remove that existential threat, and people look for a new existential threat. That’s what we’re seeing in Berkeley: Americans defining one another as an existential threat. Antifa defines the “system” as an existential threat — a wellspring of racism, bigotry, and economic injustice. And they define anyone who disagrees with them as a “fascist” worthy of violence. This is horse manure, but it’s their justification for their violence. Similarly, as Charlottesville shows, the white supremacist alt-right finds itself a different existential threat: non-white people whom they believe are inherently unable to assimilate to Western civilization. Their argument is absolute racist garbage, but because they believe it, that means that all those who don’t become their “cuck” enemies.

To define our existential threat, in other words, we must define ourselves. And right now, we’re breaking down along tribal lines, along class lines. We’re not breaking down along the lines of principles: non-violence in politics; free speech; rights inherent in human individuals free of government. The founding vision has been undermined, and so we search out abroad in favor of new dragons to slay. Meanwhile, the real dragons grow at home, in the form of those who see the founding vision as the problem.

The diffrences between Huston and Berkeley are as different between good and evil the citizens of Huston don’t hug trees nor do they knees lotus style in the forests saying prayers of gaia and ANTIFA would be run out of town in Huston and they would be arrested and tossed into the slammer

A few days ago somebody here was explaining to me that Houston is nearly as violent as Chicago because it has a Democratic mayor.

@Greg: Actually, I think YOU were arguing that Chicago is not all that much more violent than Houston or several other cities, which was a bogus point.

I wonder, will Soros and the Clinton Foundation be donating millions of dollars to the Houston relief and reconstruction effort, or are they only in the fascist violence and destruction business?

@Greg: Go back and read the comments you were saying Houston has a worse crime rate than Chicago, in a vain attempt to try to compare to a more conservative or Republican area, I simply pointed out it was a more liberal city with a democrat mayor. Your attempt to twist he truth because you were clueless a big fail.
The looters in Houston were outnumbered by far by the Heros thanks to the Governor calling out the national Guard.
The mayor was less effective http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/houston-dams-flooding_us_59a44a30e4b05710aa5df3d8

In Huston they hug their kids in Berkeley they hug trees

Not to mention home owners protecting their neighborhoods wearing side arms. In Texas, you loot, we shoot.
