Hello I bring you glad tidings: Behind Enemy Lines (BHL) is live in Olympia WA, where what looks like 10 Patriots are standing in the wet and listening to a very boring speech

If things get less boring I will let you know

Very happy to be warm and dry and lazy, thank you BHL
OK we've got a crowd shot and it looks like it's more like....30? 40 people?

Normie crowd, not seeing any weapons or militia types or Proud Boys currently
The speaker says that we have to push back when our rights are abused and there is the most lackluster cheer I've ever heard, like two people going "woo" but in tired voices

There is nothing more boring and miserable than a far-right demonstration in the rain
Oh no the screen went dark come back BHL I love you
"My goal coming here is not to make you stand in the rain for many hours," the speaker said. "It was to see whether I got arrested for doing this"

Apparently they're saying the authorities weren't going to let them do this and I can't confirm or deny this but press X to doubt
They're now talking about tearing down the fence surrounding the Washington Capitol and I'm suddenly regretting not putting on my chud look and driving down this morning
OMFG this speaker just said with a straight face that the closed legislative sessions are closed because someone is holding a literal script off-camera so that the legislators can read off "special interest" talking points

That's why the Capitol is shut down

And no other reason
HE JUST CLAIMED THAT THE WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT FELL FOR THE NIGERIAN PRINCE EMAIL SCAM WITH 600 MILLION DOLLARS I CANNOT
"The next person who's speaking to you is I think the most persecuted person in the state of Washington"

It's Tim Eiman (sp?). No idea who that is

Sorry to all the fine Patriots who think you're the most persecuted person in Washington
Tim Eyman (look at me using Google and getting names right) now verbally jerking Glen Morgan off for being smart and brave and provocative for doing a free speech in public

God this is dull
People in the chat are desperately asking if Antifa has showed up as a potential diversion from this god-forsaken boredom of this stream
@renzics
just told me to look up the video of Eyman stealing an office chair and OH MY GOD

As I watch Eyman wheel himself out of the Office Depot on an office chair, he tells me on stream that his "only crime is being an effective Conservative"

This BHL livestream is literally a video of an office chair thief whining IN THE THIRD PERSON about how oppressed he is forever
The livestream chat is wall-to-wall animated pepes holding up "Free Kyle" signs, which, guys, he's free, he did a runner, but I get it, you're bored too

Tough time to be far right at present

I remember when this beat was fun
BehindEnemyLines just commented on his own stream "Where are all the teefers today? Are they having some soy latte at Starbucks?" HAHAHAHA even the streamer is dying of boredom omfg
This is a great example of how, for certain kind of events, where no one dangerous shows up, the best counterprotest is no counterprotest at all

Everyone here is PRAYING that Antifa shows up so they can do something other than be cold and listen to the worst speeches ever given
Jesus Fucking Christ Glen Morgan is speaking again, are these two intensely boring middle-aged long-winded fucks going to just trade the microphone off all day? This is amazing
Morgan hands the mike off to someone named Doug, didn't catch his last name, who the hell cares

"What's the difference between a progressive and a US savings bond? A savings bond will eventually mature and make money!"

Incredible comedy out here on the far right, folks
Doug is talking about how people "miss Jesus" during the lockdown

Jesus lives in our hearts, Doug. Sounds like you need more faith
Doug tells the far-right crowd about how he hosted an event in a park without a permit, and that a Tacoma policeman called him before the event and told him the cops would NOT be enforcing park rules and would allow him to do whatever they wanted

Nice
Apparently when the crowd did whatever they wanted in the park people threatened to call the cops and have them arrested and then the authorities told him to go somewhere else and he was upset. "You bastards! I mean that in a Christian way"
The stream, in a desperate attempt to preserve its sanity, has committed suicide

I'm actually ok with you not coming back online at this point
FUCK WE ARE BACK OH MY GOD WHY PLEASE KILL ME

Some old dude in a tan trenchcoat is screaming about how free speech is enshrined in the Constitution which is true and also not as contested as you think dude
"They've crossed the Rubicon!" trenchcoat man screams, and then EXPLAINS TO THE AUDIENCE WHAT THAT MEANS like it's an obscure and very learned metaphor

Like, at length. He's talking about Julius Caesar doing an armed coup on Rome

Oh

I see what you're doing here
He is now mansplaining the Reichstag Fire, which I thought was common knowledge but Andy Ngo didn't mention it in his book so maybe they don't know about that either

(I shouldn't be elitist like this, I know)
"Now some guys said it was the Anarchists, much like the Antifa today. And the Anarchist said it was a bunch of right-wingers, who ended up taking over the government"

That's right. He just called the Nazis a "bunch of right-wingers" to a bunch of right-wingers aaaaaaaaaaa
His overall point seems to be that emergencies are how governments grab power but oh boy did he pick two VERY telling examples
On the bright side, the man who described the Nazis as "a bunch of right-wingers" did just say that COVID is real, so good going there

He thinks the response to COVID is for consolidating power though

The audacity of not wanting people to die, I tell you
The Nazis as "a bunch of accidental right-wingers": That is some accidental leftism right there, I'm sorry, I can't get over it, I won't, I refuse
Oh shit it was Joe Walsh!!!

Joe Walsh, the former representative for the state of Washington in Congress

Joe Walsh, the right-winger, who just talked about how conservatives need to cross the Rubicon and called the Nazis a bunch of right-wingers
Glen Morgan just had the audacity to say that "brevity is the soul of wit"

He then admitted that if more speakers embraced brevity these rallies would be more popular which oh BOY, loving this
After admitting that these rallies are boring as fuck because all the speakers talk too much, Glen Morgan then proceeds to talk at length about liberty

I absolutely love watching the far right kill their own movement in real time
"Today was a victory. It really was," Glen Morgan says, lying

The crowd cheers weakly, also lying

No one thinks this is a victory. This was a victory for rain gear vendors, that's it
Oh my god the speechifying is over, says Glen. Please don't be lying. Please

He's still talking

Literally kill me

BHL plugging Andy Ngo's book in the chat, which is a bad and boring book but somehow less boring than this rally
Glen Morgan confesses that he wishes he'd gotten arrested so he could "write from the inside" like a hero

I'm so sorry that you couldn't fulfil your martyr complex, Glen. It's hard, I know
BHL approaches someone in black and tells them that it's amazing that they haven't gotten beat up when BHL gets beat up on the regular

I think it might be @R3volutionDaddy

They're arguing about whether they get beaten up or not
BHL asserts that when Alyssa got beaten up it was a "mutual combat" situation

He tells her repeatedly that she's not welcome

"I think it should be mutual. So I'm going to harass you now" BHL says

I love how honest you are, BHL
This is what the far right is now. A sad lonely livestreamer following a femme around a tiny rally to try and drum up some drama so someone will maybe give him money for being brave, you absolutely love to see it

(Not that this looks like a ton of fun for @R3volutionDaddy)
Sorry, it's Alissa not Alyssa, I'm an asshole

"She's lucky I don't fucking hit her" BHL, a supreme gentleman, says aggressively. "You're lucky I don't hit that phone out of your hand. She's a dumbass fucking Antifa, that's what she is!!"
Meanwhile @R3volutionDaddy is calmly and professionally interviewing an older man in a medical mask

Aah, he's now found @suzettesmith, former editor for the Portland Mercury, and calling her Antifa Press and talking to her and telling her he doesn't want to talk to her
@PDocumentarians is also there and BHL is accusing him of filming faces and doxxing people

BHL has been filming faces this entire time, this is why I love him so much
"People like you, doxxing information that's false, is exactly the reason why I'm out here, because you're fake-ass press"

@PDocumentarians explains that he writes for real publications

BHL demands to know why he's covering his face. "Are you afraid of COVID?!"
I can hear how happy BHL is to finally be trolling people instead of listening to the worst speeches ever given to anyone

"You're fake as fuck. That's not news, dawg!" -BHL, white person
BHL, bored with Justin and Suzette, wanders off to find Alissa. Just ranting and raving

This is a normie crowd, like I said, and most of the attendees are just...staring at BHL, confused as fuck, since the press is literally just standing there being chill
BHL just accused @PDocumentarians of being part of the "leftist organization" and called Alissa a "dumbass bitch"

Someone asks him to calm the fuck down and he refuses

This is embarrassing even for you, BHL, like I understand how bored you are but that's not our fault
Alissa just threatend to taze BHL if he continues to harass her and he says he'll punch her in her fucking face

If BHL gets tazed on his own livestream I might actually die laughing, someone please monitor the stream and call an ambulance if it happens and save my life
To reiterate, @R3volutionDaddy, @suzettesmith, and @PDocumentarians are on the ground and providing a totally different, much more professional kind of reporting that you should check out
Alissa still interviewing people who are just ignoring this ranter completely. No one will make eye contact with him. I can feel the embarrassment through the screen, he's making y'all look SO BAD right now

Even the chat thinks he should leave Alissa alone
BHL now threatening to go find Alissa's car like a very reasonable, not-at-all-unhinged-and-dangerous person

Geez I wonder why you get expelled from Black Lives Matter actions it's a goddamn mystery must be because the Left hates free speech
Multiple people now asking on the chat why BHL is "wasting his time" like this

"CUZ WE ARE TIRED OF THERE BULL SHIT" the channel mod explains
BHL explains that he's exercising his first amendment right by harassing Alissa and threatening her, then tells her she's not allowed to talk and only he's allowed to talk, has anyone ever had less self awareness in the history of the world I fucking ask you
BHL I am such a big fan I can't wait to meet you, you're seriously doing more harm to your movement than I ever could
"ARE YOU ANTIFA TOO?!" he asks a dude in a black raincoat aggressively

"No, I'm a conservative!" he replies

Just, tilting at fucking windmills, you love to see it
Some old guy yells that anyone with a mask is an enemy. "Take off your mask if you love America!!" Yelling at far-right rally-goers for wearing masks

UNHHHHHHH YES YES YES
OH MY GOD the old guy is yelling at BHL for wearing a mask!!!!! He's gettting his phone in BHL's face and accusing him of being a leftist!! AAAAAAAAAAAA
They're fighing now! BHL says everyone knows who he is and that he's a right-winger and who the fuck are you?!

Old guy just smirking at him, pressing x so hard to doubt
The old guy claims to be a legislator and BHL says legislators don't matter and that he'll be replaced. Says he's never seen this guy

Guy talks about how he has a problem with Proud Boys and I am just shoveling popcorn into my mouth
I was dying laughing and missed what finally convinced BHL to apologize to this total asshole for being a total asshole

He has now transitioned back to the less controversial ground of finding random press and calling them leftist thugs
BHL looming creepily and way too close behind a group of "Antifa Press" while some woman in a megaphone yells incoherently about Joe Biden

Ladies, Gentlemen, Others, I present: the guardians of freedom and the American way of life, last bulwark of our sacred Constitution
"Look, she's smiling because she thinks it's funny, this is a game to her!"

-BHL about a press member wearing a mask, who IS probably laughing at BHL because who the fuck wouldn't at this point
I wish I wasn't faceblind, I know what press he's talking to but I can't remember her name and I am sorry

But she's having none of this, just looking at him like he's a goddamn alien which, accurate
Another far right activist calling BHL antifa. "Cut your hair, you fucking hippie!!" he yells, repeatedly

I can see why people are confused because BHL is acting a whole ass and doing a better job of hurting this movement than Antifa ever, ever could at this event
BHL claims Antifa is coming and you can hear the hunger in his voice, bro just because you want an enemy doesn't mean one is going to materialize oh my god
Laughing too hard to do my job, broke the thread https://twitter.com/LauraJedeed/status/1358167478543654912?s=20
Hey BHL you are absolutely correct that there are a lot of people here to film you as opposed to actually participating in your weird victimhood circlejerk but if my rally was as small as yours is I might avoid pointing that out
208 other masochists are watching this god-forsaken livestream
I am FURIOUS that I don't know this journalist's name or handle because she is just KILLING it, I don't know how she's managing to look so bored and disgusted with a mask on, just absolutely refusing to engage

Everyone take notes
Oop, just saw an AR-15
Two women screaming "Freedom!!" over again like the worst community theater remake of Braveheart
A dude with an Iron Front sign is....saying that Iron Front is anticommunist

......................

..........

Oh boy
Three Arrows guy tries to explain that Antifa is short for Antifascist, people aren't into it, he is now threatening to fight anyone who comes towards him

BHL has shut the fuck up because this guy is doing his job for him

GUY PLEASE LEAVE YOU ARE NOT GOOD AT THIS
Anemic crowd now chanting "God Bless America" very badly, like they're not in time, they have no rhythm, far be it from me to indulge in stereotypes all I'm saying is it's a very white crowd and they have no rhythm, those are two facts and you cannot dispute it
BHL back to following @R3volutionDaddy around, now saying she can't get enough of the far right and it's embarrassing

While he follows her around

Filming her

Repeatedly

Calling her obsessed
Sorry, took a break to edit Ep 3 of Andy Ngo's Book is Still Bad, you didn't miss anything, BHL shot the shit with a fellow livestreamer about the job and also Punisher

It's nice to see you chill, BHL, you seem like an alright dude when you aren't frothing at the fucking mouth
