This situation occurred in a specific context. Far left governments across the country have been encouraging violent street protests by leftists and refusing to allow police to stop the violence. This is what the Charlottesville government did here. They got someone killed rather than properly police a Constitutionally protected gathering. I wonder why they declined to police the situation. Been waiting for this to come. It was a liberal Democrat conspiracy to give the alt right Nationalists a bad name. Standing back and watching them being teased and goaded into murder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 In the context of identity politics, which is about the redistribution of wealth between identity groups, there are far left local governments in the US. They are nothing of the sort. Centre left at best. The fact that you live in a cretinous nation of right-wingery does not change the definition of far left. Get a grip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that the left wing of the Democrat Party has come unmoored from supporting basic concepts like law and order or constitutional rights. They are on the side of the left wing street thugs. They want them to shut down conservatives (not just fascists) violently. There's literally no comp on the right. Have you ever heard of a right wing group shutting down a left wing political gathering in a conservative area of the country. It's laughable to even consider. But the opposite has been happening all across the country for the last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a couple texts from Democrat friends using that exact word. It's worth a try I suppose, but I don't think people are going to buy in that Nazis fighting commies in the street is the same as random Islamic terrorism. Except this was terrorism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antifa and BLM have used force across the country to shut down political gatherings from non-fascist groups. It's insane. Portland, OR had to cancel their town parade because Antifa threatened violence if the Oregon Republican Party was allowed to participate. So, is it just the racist part, and not the use of force part that's your main problem? While it is totally true that these 2 groups will try to de-platform anyone who disagree's with their views or in some cases offer a different point of view, we are talking about people running around with actual Nazi flags.. Spouting actual Nazi Ideology and hate.. I have no problem with Antifa trying to de-platform these muppets as its an ideology the world is better without Edited August 13, 2017 by EdgarusQPFC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed a comment I saw on twitter last night accompanying this picture, suggesting people demonstrating in support of white supremacy were somewhat misguided in doing so while displaying flags of organisations that both comprehensively lost the one war they were involved in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) The night before the rally, multiple white nationalist groups march with torches through the University of Virginia campus.

Pretty sure when the Richard Spencer was punched i condemned there being any violence at all, not just violence against or by select groups. I have condemned Antifa, BLM and the Nazi's on many occasions because they have all been shown to resort to violence during their protests or opposition to protests. Regardless of whoever is protesting and what they protest or who they oppose, you will notice a repeating theme, i condemn hate and violence. What i said at the time: "Regarding that neo nazi twat that was punched, i totally see both sides of it, hes totally the kinda guy who would deserve a punch, but its pathetic to resort to violence."

Martin Luther King was a pretty radical left winger - not that you'd know it from the media narrative over the last 40 years.

NotThePars Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Martin Luther King was a pretty radical left winger - not that you'd know it from the media narrative over the last 40 years. Same with Mandela. Of course he was and there's a reason why the radical elements of their ideology are purged when they're deified posthumously by the states they fought against. People want to condemn BLM etc as hate groups that are letting down the supposedly peaceful protestors of the past when it's nothing of the sort that they're doing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
