You're not a wartime senator, Diane. Things may get rough with the move we're trying.

Non-Violent Direct Action? If I'm going to put it on my resume, I should know what it means.

I'm just old. I did some stuff when I was a kid and then took like 25 years off.

Definitely can't be any less effective than listening to the forum Clintonistas aka Paul and Dessin. You have 0 credibility on strategy after this election.

All credibility and pretensions of knowledge was lost the moment that 4:1 hit.

So this is going on in my town right now. A woman with 2 children who are US citizens, who has been here 22 years, since she was 14, is being deported. They say she has a felony conviction from 2009 for "criminal impersonation." [Not clear in the stories I've seen, but possibly that is for working using false ID.] Anyway, Trump will need those extra goons he wants to hire.

You understand that Trump "hitting" as a 4:1 dog isn't the same as your AA getting cracked all-in preflop right?

I don't recall being a strategist for the Clinton campaign. Continue on with mindless derp though.

And she did get more votes than both Sanders and Trump anyways.

berniebros still out of touch with reality.

Comments from trumpkins on that thread are truly disgusting.

Anarchists and morons like Antifa, we expect to do things like that and we shouldn't be particularly surprised when they happen--that's what those kinds of groups do. But you would really think The U.S. Senate would rise slightly higher than that.

There is also the matter that Milo was trying to out undocumented and LGBT students at his speaking engagement, which can in its own way be considered a form of violence. So yeah. Anyway there are plenty of threads to talk about Milo, we have better things to talk about in The Resistance thread so FoldN you can kindly take your crap elsewhere please and thank you.
Well, I'm glad you think violently stopping political speech is a no-no. Seeing lot's of condemnation of that here, which is the right move. So, yes, that is something you can do. Stand up for liberalism, and don't be like the many posters in here who love licking the balls of the "anti-fascist" regulars in this forum. I use quotes, because these guys clearly use that banner to justify violence and suppression of any ideas they dislike.

For example, after spending a few weeks now in the Milo thread in Pv7, boy have I learned a lot about Milo. His tactics do seem to work, everyone is talking about him. He's been called a fascist repeatedly, yet nowhere has any evidence been presented to justify that claim. He seems pretty terrible, but not a fascist.

Lately, I've heard two provocative claims. Someone in here said Milo has advocated for genocide. Evidence to that effect would convince me he's fascist, so please link. He's also widely criticized for attempting to out undocumented immigrants, another charge lacking sources that appears designed to justify violence. It would seem that if outing immigrants were a thing, someone ought to be able to dig up a list from the depths of the deplorosphere somewhere. Yet I've seen no evidence even the creamy white supremacist center of the alt right have stooped so low. Strange.

I do see lists of fascists like Milo on the antifa website, there to be "protested", cartoon frogs on lists, and even moderate Muslim reformers on lists that put them in actual danger of Islamofascist retribution. So many lists.

Milo: Not a fascist. Thanks for arguing on Milo's behalf foldn, good work as always. We wouldn't want someone who seems pretty terrible to be unfairly labelled a fascist.
02-09-2017 , 03:19 AM

Milo called for his fans to "purge [their] local illegals." Here's a link from ****ing Breitbart, so it's right from the horse's mouth.

Milo outs trans woman, makes her a target for harassment.

Outing illegal immigrants was rumored, but it didn't have an opportunity to happen.

Good day, sir.

You can't be for free speech and criticize foldn since he has to stop talking completely to avoid saying wrong stuff.
02-09-2017 , 12:53 PM


That's all terrible, and Milo is a real ass, but it's hardly advocacy of "ethnic cleansing" as you claim. Unless you think everyone who's against allowing illegal immigration is in favor of ethnic cleansing, I guess. In that case, a pretty big chunk of our country are fascists, and we should have a civil war to purge them.
02-09-2017 , 12:59 PM
MAN, I never would have guessed that Foldn would quibble that calling for a purge of anyone suspected of being an illegal immigrant was #actually not ethnic cleansing!

I think it's important when you have people advocating physical violence against fascists not to go around calling everyone you disagree with politically a fascist. Maybe we should save that term for people who actually do advocate ethnic cleansing.
02-09-2017 , 01:10 PM
Oh, so at what point is it ethnic cleansing, in your book? Expulsion of 10 million apparently doesn't cut it?

I realize you're pissed off, and believe it or not I am too. I'm a free market guy, a globalist. I think we should welcome immigrants of all stripes. I think it's better for the economy and better for everyone overall. I recognize this position is easier for me to take because immigration doesn't really threaten my job, but I respect that others disagree, particularly those who believe they stand to lose from it.

Most people who advocate deporting undocumented immigrants, like our last president, are not calling for ethnic cleansing, they are not advocating deporting citizens from different ethnicities. Save your fascist rhetoric for those who do, like the Richard Spencers.

You know, not everyone is going to use their words the way you want. They're going to use their words the way they want. There is no we that decides what words are saved. You, proclaiming what you think is important, is this...
