Disgusted with Progressives

  • CenterBHSFan
    I am seeing things much differently than others, I guess. Because I think if you're talking about longevity alone, then yes, Nazi's, KKK and other racists are worse.
    Currently? BAMN and ANTIFA are worse.

    Most of the white supremacy groups are on the decline, although the KKK has ticked back up (but still only counts 5000-8000 members).

    The two fastest growing hate group categories? Anti-muslim and Black Separatist. Don't believe they count Antifa, and of course BLM is not a hate group but clearly contains many radical haters.

    I'd like to see a comparison of membership numbers. I have a suspicion, because of the social "acceptance" of many of these left wing groups and their members, there is more racism and hatred openly hiding in plain sight on the left.

    Not to say there isn't more racism on the right. But I think what has changed is some of these right-wing groups have recently become more violent and combative (and, no, I'm not talking about the KKK history...and KKK these days is basically a bunch of old men playing dress up)....because that is what these left groups have been doing.

    Lost in all this talk about Trump calling people out by name, the media rarely calls out violence from the left. It's not BLM - who's intentions are good and pure - causing violence is some bad actors exploiting the opportunity. But if the media were calling it both ways, BLM is a "dog whistle" to these racist "bad actors". If BLM was a white group, what would the response be....well, I think we know because there are already a variety of versions of a White Lives Matter (though its membership is probably tiny in comparison)

    gosh a ruddies, Donald Trump gives the KKK and Nazis moral equivalence with their victims. Of course they are his core supporters.
  • Automatik
    His most reliant supporters, no way he'll alienate the fringe right.
  • fish82
    50,000 (at most) out of 62 million votes are his “core supporters.”

    Flirting with Full Retard here.

    Core is not the correct term. Most loyal for sure though, because fringe. I'm sure you understand that.

    Of course.

    They've been the “most loyal” supporters of every republican for 40 years...yet barely enough to turn a city council race in a medium sized city.

    Interesting timing on the bed-wetting.

    I'd just like for ONE time for Donald to come out even-keeled and refrain from the divisive rhetoric. Apparently it's fucking impossible for him to do this.

    I would like the same from the media and our two biggest parties, which we haven't seen for over 16+ years.

    I am not sure why you are shocked, Donald is rattled by the media. It's not going to change.

    Not that hard, Mr. President.

    Oh, ffs! This is getting way out of hand...

    twitter has opened up a whole world of stupid out there.

    That reporter was just about right. If professional left wing agitators werent sent in there with clubs to do dirty work this rally is likely a non story. THe charlottesville PD and state police did a horrible job keeping these groups apart. It almost looked purposeful on their part to let the clubs start flying.

    Haha there are now reporters (the one I saw was from esquire) comparing Antifa to the freaking American WW2 soldiers. You literally can't make this shit up.

    It is ok to believe that 1) Nazi's are idiots and bad and 2) Antifa are idiots and bad, all at the same time. You wanna say nazi's are more bad, sure go right ahead but it doesn't matter because both sides are despicable and not defensible.

    I forget where I read it, it was either here or Reddit.

    I laughed, but gotta also admit that I like this. Reps!

    *Edit to add*
    Well, I would rep if I could. Seems to be the old problem again.

    Facebook is almost unbearable at the moment. From what I gather, I am essentially a Nazi because I have no interested in allying with violent communists.

    I couldn't tell you the last time that I logged into FB. Never really got into it and it looks like that's a good thing!

    I feel ya. I think Kaepernick doesn't have a job in the NFL primarily because of issues with his talent (or lack of). But it's actually because he's black and subsequently I am a racist.

    He's not a very good QB, and comes with serious baggage.

    It's not at all shocking that he hasn't gotten a job. But, nope, it's cuz racism.
  • Automatik
    Don't want to threadjack further, but Jason Whitlock's spot a few weeks ago Cowherd was dead on regarding why he doesn't have a job. Team's don't feel he's fully invested in being a football player. Not a good look when you play the most important position on the field. Combined w/ the unwanted attention he'll bring and regarding play he's meh...it's not surprising. I still think he'll get picked up though....lots of garbage at the QB position these days.

    Saw that today on Facebook and almost threw my phone. So because I don't really care to get too involved in this situation, I'm privileged lol. wut

    You are also a racist. Because in an article out today from the co-founder of the women's march, even if you claim you are white and a non-racist, the fact that you benefit from privilege makes you a racist (per Time). Is this the new definition of racism?
    "Then, we need to have conversations with other white people in our communities about acknowledging their privilege and the ways that they are racist. We need to people to stop saying that they’re not racist when they still unfairly benefit based on their race."
