It makes sense if you understand amygdala:
Yvette Felarca, the Berkeley area school teacher and militant left-wing protester responsible for organizing the riot at the University of California, Berkeley in February 2017, claims that violence against the far-right is “not a crime.”
Felarca, who belongs to “By Any Means Necessary,” a far-left group, is currently facing assault charges after she was caught on video assaulting a white supremacist during a July 2016 rally in Sacramento, Cali.
The school teacher and her compatriots engaged in violent clashes against members of the far-right Traditional Worker’s Party, which had a permit to march in the city. The violence between the two groups resulted in a number of assaults and multiple stabbings. In July 2017, police charged Felarca with “assault by means of force likely to inflict great bodily injury, participating in a riot, and inciting a riot.”
As reported by Huffington Post on Wednesday during her arraignment, Felarca described her actions as a form of self-defense, and therefore “not a crime.”
I can deal with astonishingly irritating shit, and my amygdala probably lights up as much as many people’s would with a minor headache. As with all of r/K, it is a mixed blessing, and a commentary on my history of exposure to irritations.
But the Antifa chick’s amygdala is so weak and atrophied that if a conservative merely espouses some K-virtue like freedom or patriotism, it is so amygdala-shocking, her amygdala will light up the same as our’s would if we were physically attacked in a life-threatening incident.
Given that, it makes sense from a cognitive neuroscience perspective that she feels that way.
Of course from a practical perspective, there is no living with a woman like that, or letting her run your country. Amygdalae like that are how somebody criticizes her leadership and suddenly you turn around to find a mass grave filled with a few hundred thousand men, women, and children.
We have a major turning point approaching. Hopefully we will navigate our way to the right path easily, but have no illusions – we are coming astonishingly close to the edge of the cliff, considering this is America. It is amazing to think we can come this close to the edge and see this kind of dictatorial philosophy emerge in the land of the free.
It is the terrifying power of free resource availability.
Spread r/K Theory, because some women there is no living with
I’ve never gotten shit like this.
Felarca is a four foot tall Asian woman who looks like she’s never been in a street fight in her life. She’s got zero muscle tone. I, and most other Trump supporters, could probably pile drive her completely unarmed. Why are people like this the ones advocating violence and anarchy?
I mean, if a six foot four muscle bound MMA fighter who owned guns and was a former military veteran went around calling for violence and anarchy, I guess I could understand. In that case, the person calling for violence would be the kind of person that could be reasonably expected to win most fights they were in, and who could probably survive as well as anyone could in an anarchic, chaotic world.
But those kinds of people are almost always the peaceful ones. The ones calling for violence and anarchy are almost always short, weak, pudgy, and look like they’ve never been in a fight in their lives and that guns scare them. It’s like some sort of crazy upside-down world where the strong are perfectly willing to live peacefully and the weak are constantly screaming about how they want to fight the strong.
Any time I’m competing with someone in any manner, I like to get into their head — to understand their mindset, so that I can predict their next move and prepare accordingly. But every time I look at these people, all that I can see is pure irrational insanity. What’s the mindset that causes this to happen?
If you are able to kick ass, you don’t go around stirring up shit with other people, and when you want ass kicked, you kick it. But if you were pathetic your whole life, and always got your ass kicked when you fought, the only time you ever had a win growing up was when you manipulated someone else to kick your enemy’s ass for you. The brain learns from that, even below the conscious level, and seeks to replicate that win by becoming a manipulator.
I think this is the difference between decent people who toil in anonymity, and the Jeff Bezos types. You were programmed to take care of your own shit. Bezos is programmed to get other people doing his shit, and built up to a large enough number, that can make you a billionaire. Then look to politics. How many combat military guys and firefighters and cops enter politics? They mostly end up in ground level soldier type occupations, doing stuff the politicians could never do themselves. The politicians meanwhile, who by and large are vastly more pathetic, end up gravitating to their powerful occupations because it satisfies that need to be telling others how to fight their battles for them.
I get a lot of people who offer to toil on behalf of r/K, but I never really want to put other people out for it. It bothers me to think of others doing work I could be shouldering myself. But I have seen the opposite in narcissists, who get a weird, glassy eye’d euphoric look when they get other people toiling for them. If you ever see it, it really sticks with you.
I just saw it in a narcissist I dealt with a few weeks back when I proposed doing something that I didn’t realize he saw as doing a job that benefitted him. I saw the glassy eye’d, empty eye’d smile, and thought, “Shit this narcissist asshole thinks I am going to do his work for him.” Just the idea of making him happy killed the project in my mind.

They’re missing the forest for the trees but the work itself is sophisticated.
