  • Andy Ngo compiles fake hate crimes and has been attacked himself—hit with a milkshake and sprayed with mace.
  • Rich people don't care about street violence because it eventually justifies martial law and robot patrols.
  • Street fighting and Portland chaos will be used to justify the ruling class deploying exorbitant amounts of violence against the population.
