The fact that you list Black Lives Matter as an "extremist group" and a "terrorist organization" and use the term "antifa" tells me that you are, in fact, connected to the neo-fascist movement on the far right despite your statement. In any event, when it comes to the comparatively minor violence that some of the the "unite the right" people in Charlottesville were met with, frankly if you're a Nazi Party member, Ku Klux Klan member, or neo-Confederate decked out in the full regalia and you DON'T expect to get pelted with anything (in this case bottles) then you are officially disconnected from life. The truth is that, despite your legal rights, people are still human and tend to find it highly offensive when others implicitly or explicity defend things like the old slave system and the Holocaust. If you're doing that, somebody's going to hit you with something and I'm not going to feel sorry for you because you kinda deserve it. That's NOTHING That's compared to hitting 34 people with your car at 40 miles per hour because you're a fucking Nazi and having the president blame your victims just as much as you because he likes you better! That comparison is an insult to my intelligence and exceedingly offensive. Call me a "snowflake" or whatever for having feelings. As to your remarks about Baltimore and Berkley, the events in those communities were met with a swift police crackdown (as in like martial law). By contrast, the police just passively stood by and watched while dozens were being mowed down in Charlottesville because this time the perpetrators were white. THAT's the difference in their treatment. |
You do not know me. I am disgusted by the message of Neo Nazis and Klansmen, I am horrified by their actions at Charlottesville. I have in no way ever sympathized with or entertained the thoughts of being a Neo-Nazi/Klansmember, and yet I am labeled as one for what? Acknowledging the KKK and Nazis as problems? You are too afraid to bring up ANTIFA as a terrorist group, even though there is video evidence of them inciting violence at Charlottesville charging into a march just to punch whoever they could (that doesn't mean I agree with the alt-right/KKK/Nazis fighting back, in fact they were both wrong. In this case it's eye for eye, and violence has no place in a civilized society).
I am not your problem, I want to work with every rational individual who believes they are what their beliefs/race indicates. We are ALL Americans, and no matter who it is, no one should have to worry about dying when going to a rally/protest.
And as for punching a Nazi in the face when you see one, how does that make you better than those who committed atrocities in Charlottesville? Whether or not I agree with them (and for the millionth and first time, I dont agree with them, AT ALL), they had LEGAL permits to march on the street. You can disagree with their ideology, but they have the right to speak it if they carry all the legal papers they need. Just because you and I don't agree with their message doesn't mean we can simply bypass the First Ammendment and their right to free speech. You can disagree HEAVILY with the message they teach like me, but I'm not going to ignore their right to say it, no matter how ludacris it is.
As for your remarks about Baltimore or Berkley, does it automatically make all those acts of violence suddenly ok because it wasn't like Charlottesville? An act of violence should be seen as such equally. Just because Charlottesville happened involving 'dem Nazis' doesn't justify Baltimore or Berkley. They are all equally dangerous.
I would not have gone on this rant, but never, EVER associate me with those radicals. I am not a Nazi/facist, nor will I ever be. Villifying me will only result to more people joining up with them (as you have seen with the alt-right).
The alt-right did not grow by itself, it was grown because of the demonization of the movement coupled with the media's reports further misleading the American public, all of it coming off in a way that made is seem like the alt-right was justified in a way (which they NEVER were). The beliefs are extreme in the alt-right, but the way the media covered them along with other points made it appear to the naive public that the alt-right's motives were correct (which, AGAIN, were NEVER right). What's the best way to take care of it? Denounce it and move on, only bringing constant attention causes more people to become fascinated with it. This goes for every extremist group in America.
Point is, don't call me, a person who hates white supremacists groups, as a neo-facist. You aren't helping yourself or your cause if I am the enemy.
