Yeah that still isnt good enough dude. It really reflects poorly on you that its that close of a decision for you. I can kinda get some of the reasons why. Biases are hard to overcome.

But it does truly make me think less of you as someone ive enjoyed interacting with and gotten friendly with over the last few years.

Its just a stunning lack of awareness about whats going on.

Things have changed from the time the Constitution was written until now. If this was 1875 and this group was promoting white supremacy, who would care? Like 38 people might get upset.

In 2017, millions of people can be triggered by a group of 14 people who want to get into arts and crafts and go stand outside with a sign. That's a problem.

I don't even know what you're saying.

Hmm...

One side says that black people fundamentally shouldn't have a right to exist...

One side organizes to protest the first side in loud and provocative ways that sometimes turn violent.

Which is worse...

I...

CANT...

DECIDE...

Tut, I think you're misreading this. I would under no circumstances back the Alt Right side and I am fully aware of the disaster that is Trump.

👍

Eddy: like 38% of the country are literally nazis - what's the big deal!?

Well then you can probably save the "both extremes are equally bad" take.

I'm saying the KKK or white nationalists should not be allowed to assemble. They aren't exercising their right to free speech, they are inciting a riot. In the 24 hour news cycle, with social media, it's even more dangerous than ever to even allow this.

Eddy, it's a problem because Donald Trump ran a campaign that was quite explicit in its backing of White Supremacist Ideology. He got 48% of the popular vote to be the damn President, supporting that ideology.

If 14 people went to Charlottesville and held up signs explicitly supporting raping children, I'd shrug it off because they're provocateurs who don't have much support (outside Central Pennsylvania of course).

This is worrying to me because I believe there is plenty of support for the side of the White Supremacists in this matter, whether they say it or not. This is something that anybody with a conscience and good morals should be denouncing in the strongest possible terms and not just handwaving away.

Which viewpoints are allowed to assemble?

They should be allowed to assemble, just not while carrying torches and rifles.

BMN,

I don't care if you're offended. You're a dumb piece of ****. The end. Props to Woody for at least admitting the "they both suck" nonsense is indeed nonsense. You, on the other hand, are an irredeemable POS.

So you think it's a slippery slope?

That's a good idea Zim but you know as soon as you tell them they can't exercise their 2nd amendment rights they'll accuse the government of making them sitting ducks.

Lol thanks bud. Hope you're doing well. Even though you didn't say no offense I'm not offended by your freedom of speech.

Torches are probably cool ultimately, but yeah, assembling while armed, regardless of group, is probably reasonable.

Basically, yeah. The problem isn't that we allow Nazis to march, that's a strength. We have to be able to tolerate speech we find detestable.

We can't let protests turn violent, and a good start might be not allowing to people to march while armed to the teeth and regulating march routes more heavily.

whens the last time a civil war in any country resulted in a positive outcome?


i think immersive vr is the answer. get these guys permanently preoccupied. #PreoccupyMainSt

USA the b GOAT at civil warrin

The antifa, blm and demsoc platform is like black people shouldn't be killed by police, nazis are bad, single payer and a living wage.

Nazis are uh...nazis.

Apparently both of these should be wiped out.

ya but totally reasonable non-white supremacists be like

"on many sides. on many sides."

pick a ****ing side you cowards

EddyB's protest does nothing take might be his hottest yet. Like, how obtuse can one man be?

Eddy, minorities couldn't attend white schools or use white bathrooms in a lot of places in America like just 60-70ish years ago. Then this big protest called the Civil Rights Movement happened. Hope this helps.

Meh I mean I'm not even sure I agree with this anymore honestly as far as assembling publicly is concerned.

Like a group of known pedophiles or known serial killers shouldn't be allowed to assemble in public if it was somehow possible - and there's at least somewhat of a direct parallel between all 3 with regards to being absolute abhorrent, subhuman views/groups that are objectively damaging to the advancement of humankind. For a more direct parallel, a group marching down the street with ISIS flags and guns wouldn't fly at all I'm assuming. ISIS is a terrorist group, just like Nazis are and the Confederacy was.

It's a slippery slope in this regard for sure tho.
