Something to consider for people like myself (I have advocated for non-violence with supremacists) and Merica from Karl Popper, graphic from Reddit Spoiler "Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. We should claim that any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law, and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal, in the same way as we should consider incitement to murder, or to kidnapping, or to the revival of the slave trade, as criminal." Karl Popper
A senile idiot says it and you little cocksuckers parrot that shit as fact, it's a fucking shame that assholes like you take pride in being fucking ignorant.
Pretty much every day for the past year and a half has been full of some dumb shit or another, so I would bet heavily on yes.
Mrs Bro, as you probably heard I had a tremendous victory, Republicans don't win electoral votes and i won many of them in many places like never before. The stock market is setting records every day and millions of jobs are coming back, believe me. Speaking of records, your daughter, not many people know this but her name was Heather, was a wonderful woman, really wonderful as people are saying, and she has set many records for what people are saying about my statements after the protests by all of those fine people on both sides.
Article is meh outside this part imo, from a Paul wood story in the Spectator.. the Brits don't have to answer to the maga crowd now or in the future if nothing comes of this, so reputable outlets seem to run with stuff more willingly. Remembering what Obama said to bob dole at the inauguration I don't mind any of it tbh
If you ignore what the nazis stand for and their chants vowing erasure of african americans, jews, etc., the president isn't all that racist guys.
Would there be anyone worse for Trump to criticize now than Heyer's mother? I really hope he doesnt, but I'm thinking here is like a 5% chance he fires one off about her
Columbus has to be a tough one for white supremacists. On one hand he killed countless brown people and helped establish the slave trade. On the other hand he was Italian.
If we survive Trump I think the correction from all his bullshit will be very good for the country. We're already taking down statues and FOX News hosts with the quickness.
Just take em all down. No need for history. Can't learn anything from it so let's just live in the present. Let's just have one big statue of Rainbow brite and we can teach our kids to be one big gay society.
Drezner has been compiling quotes in a twitter thread from GOPers talking about trump like a child.. tweet goes to the bottom of the thread, so scroll up for the insanity
"Here in the US our schools are all crumbling and our teachers are below the poverty line, but we do have a wonderful statue-based curriculum that is unparalleled."
They are certainly a part of history. Have you ever been walking around a new city and stopped to see a statue, explained to your kids who that person is and why that statue is there? How about the road side markers that explain history? Ever stopped to read one of those? This whole thing is absurd. You guys have outdone yourselves this time. Pure idiocy.
See? The confederates are actually the good guys, who had to live under the yoke of northern oppression like slaves-wait a second
No, I don't need a statue to learn about a city and I prefer to teach my kids to read rather than look at statues. My explanation of these statues would be a whole lot different than yours, it would go something like this: Here is Robert E. Lee, if it were up to him your mother, father, sister and you would be considered property of some racist asshole.
