More protests getting out of hand in Berkeley

[brycejones]

They actually are very far left but then put on this veneer of objectivity in these reports. It is disingenuous. Especially when they put hirsi ali and nawan majlis on an islamophobe list, they pretty much showed their hand. Daniel Pipes does not belong either.

You know how this probably happened? Nepotism. It happens in all institutions, even "good" left wing ones.

Coming from you I will take very far left as centrist.

You aint seen nothin yet. There is no point in trying to reason with grabby liberals. They will take everything you got till you push them down and say no more. We've let these little ninnies get their way for too long. America has been far too passive for far too long. America used to crush commies. Now we pay them off with handouts, but they always come screaming for more and more.

Who cares about the SPLC it's about the baby brown shirts ffs.

so what exactly are you proposing to do? this sounds like a very thinly veiled threat, and an incredibly ignorant one at that.
america.. passive.. bwaaa hahahahahahahahaha
Out of 241 years, we've been at war 222 years. Yea, we're the fucking model of passivity.

Now you let them help pick your President.

Not advocating communism but America has never crushed commies. N, Korea nope, Vietnam nope. Cuba, nope. Can you name any Communist we've crushed?

 

[WelshBloke]

McVeigh was mental? News to me. Pretty sure he was rational, just a bit of a hothead.

That probably says more about you and your sympathies than it does about him.

What are the consequences?

The Nazis and communists alike saw their popularity exploding as the Weimar Republic spiraled down the shitter. The Nazis won, but a hypothetical communist Germany being the other viable alternative doesn't seem attractive either. Fascism is a symptom of ineffectual government and a desperate population willing to trade their rights for food on the table. And that's the worst case of fascism; Pinochet obviously wasn't remotely a saint, but if I kept my head down I'd be better off under him than Pol Pot, Mao, Stalin, etc. In fairness, I consider some communist movements, e.g. Vietnam, to be a natural reaction to colonialism and on the whole justified even if bloody, and from little I've read supposedly Tito wasn't such a horrible commie either. Point is, drawing the line of acceptable speech at the single ideology of fascism is at the very least a biased product of pop culture.

What's the reason for the above?
You're implying that there's some acceptable forms of fascism?

No I wouldn't, because I consider ANTIFA to be thugs. Show me cases where they mobilize against violent fascists in the defense of others and I'll support those instances, but in America, wearing a swastika or a red baseball cap isn't grounds for a beating.

I'm sure that they are hurt and wounded by your feelings about this but they'll probably manage without your support.

Those are wars for profit. Caused by dumbed down idiots not paying attention to what their politicians are doing or who they really work for. I'm talking about cleansing this scum off the dole. Then let them freak out and do all the stupid things that dumbed down liberals do. Then step in and put them in their place, in a very self defensive manner of course.

Look pretty crushed to me. We sure aint sending them EBT cards or giving them EITC. That is what we need to be doing to this commie scum infesting our own shores: NOT GIVING THEM A DAMN THING. Leave them alone to live in the commie braindead liberal squalor they know and love so much.

put them in their place how? be exact, tough guy.
and do tell, how was WWII a war for profit or the Civil War a war for profit?

 

[sm625]

What a tough guy you are.

Damn right. I would rather walk 20 miles then live off the frickin dole like this scum. I put myself through college driving 60 miles a day in a broken down piece of trash that left me stranded many times. What did I do? Cry? No I walked. I worked 6 hours a day and went to school for 6. I busted my ass because that's what men do. These pathetic little pieces of trash just sit on their butts like baby birds chirping "more more more" give me more of your hard earned money so I can sit on my ass and complain about how tough it is.

Did mommy bring you your cheesy poofs yet? You are doing important work on the internet pretending to be a tough guy. You better yell at her again.

And now after all that you sit and whine on the internet about liberals and Commies.

Ended up being a bit of a waste of your time really.

After all what? I did more work today than you do in a month. It only takes a minute to post my hopes and desires to see these commies crushed.

yea, but do you even lift bro?

Really. You been wasting your time looking through my window? I'm surprised you have the time if you're spending more than the 15 hours I spent working today.

 

[mikeymikec]

It's an odd expression, all things considered. I wonder how many there were.

The hilarious thing for me is that while the easily excitable elements of the two sides battle each other in Berkeley over Ann Trollter, the resident computer science department is busy automating all of their jobs away with AI.

Congratulations. I've been working since I was 11 years old. I once had a car that was such a piece of shit that the clutch cable was held in place with a pair of vise grips. But I busted my ass and worked my way up, never once asking for a handout.
But there's a big difference between you and me. I'm not an asshole.

 

[Victorian Gray]

Looks like we have some future Brown shirts here.

From the Southern Poverty Law Center. A new fight-club “fraternity” of young white, pro-Trump men is being formed, its organizers claim, to defend free-speech rights by “Alt-Right” leaders and engage in street fighting.

And I think we can agree that just plain, blind, stupid luck plays a part. Fortune has smiled upon me in many ways. Not everybody is so lucky.

This is something that has been in the back of my mind for a while. I mean, we live in such a nice society in the USA. Political correctness has had excesses, but all together does make the society more equitable, more compassionate.

The question is what do we do when the money runs out. $20 trillion debt. No real plan or roadmap to reduce this debt. The deficits just keep on piling up. At some point, we're going to have to make some real hard budget cutting decisions. Like, you read about the lives that workers in China live. Like a steel worker in China is going at it 6 days a week for 14 hours a day, being paid like $3 bucks an hour. In the back of my mind I wonder if when it all deflates, we in the USA might be left doing that kind of work.

Well sure. It's not like the clown in the White House ever had to use starting fluid, a screwdriver (to short the starter solenoid), and the last $2 bucks in his wallet for gas so he could make it to work that day and not get fired. But somehow he's the champion of the "School of Hard Knocks" crowd.
