Lots of twitterians blaming Trump for this one...

 

Sad to see the kind of shit going on in America these days. BLM, KKK, all these stupid groups promote violence and division. Like, how the fuck can this sort of thing happen these days? I thought the KKK was long gone already. 

It's the convienant lie people tell themselves. Neo-Nazis/KKK and their ilk are still around. 

And Trump deserves blame. He's more decisive in blaming Nordstorm for not carrying Ivanka's handbags than he is to condemn white supremasists. He is a weasal president and he won't clearly condemn them because he knows they are an important bloc of his voter base.

Protesting hate groups is never stupid. They need to know and be shown that their views have opposition. Every. Single. Step. Of. The Way. 

Protesting in general is stupid.

You must not be getting out much? I'm a pacifist too but there are so many assholes around, sometimes it feels like every third one is one.

Pacifist...?
Some months ago you said you "calmed down" after you heard of an arson attack against a refugee camp.
If arson calms you down, you're not a pacifist.

Pacifist: a person who believes that war and violence are unjustifiable.

I think that guy is trying to say that he doesn't like to get his face punched every time he goes out, you know, self-defense is justifiable.

 



I've seen this coming for years. This is what happens when people get hyper upsessed with identity politics, further fueled by MSM sensationalism for ratings. People start buying into this shit, violence erupts, and people die. I'd like to say this is only going to be a one and done incident, but sadly in my heart I know this is not true. I have a feeling it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Extremism is winning on both sides right now, and as a classical/moderate liberal, it really saddens me.

There's nothing "to see coming". There's been white supremasists for a long time, hate to say it but "moderate liberals" are very good at convincing themselves that there is no problem and it doesn't exist. 

No sometimes in life there's a thing called conflict, and it requires action. Not everything is a bed of roses.



The more you back a group into a corner the more they'll lash out. I would guess things will get worse before they get better especially as people focus on minimizing others' voices instead of converting them

ology. 

"moderate liberal" in the US is code for going along with every far-right thing the GOP proposes in order to "moderate"

So, what you're saying is you had hoped he was more successful in running the people over?

I'm saying both sides are stupid and a waste of oxygen, both the protestors and the stupid people they were protesting.

You see, there is a trend as of late to attack white people, regardless of what they have done, will do or could do, because of what white people did in the past, and push forward people of color, regardless of what they have done, will do or could do, as a direct response.

Last I checked, fighting fire with fire only ever resulted in more fire.

This is moronic and irresponsible.

 

Now, being familiar with fascist history, I can tell you this: any significant victory against fascism was achieved by beating them back.

The clandestine fighters, the war, the partisan resistance, that's how you defeat them

If you invite them at the table, they win, as they did before.

To equiparate fascists and fascist resistance is straight up fascist ideology.


Then again, I wouldn't expect anything less of someone who believes white people are under attack.

You must feel quite a sense of kinship with these poor white people, under attack "regardless of what they have done".

He condemned all the groups for inciting violence...

Now yes, if the person who drove the car was a white supremacist, then Trump should go after those people specifically and call it out as terrorism. But lets have more information come in.
