LOL Falcon. Negro leagues must have persisted because blacks were the real racists or something.

Cleveland cops seem great. Don't you dare criticize them for murdering black kids, or (gasp) kneel for the anthem, they'll take their ball and go home. Snowflakes. Sad!
09-03-2017 , 12:44 PM
Why do Cleveland police hate the troops?
09-03-2017 , 12:46 PM
Also that's kind of a weird threat I always though the color guard and cop **** before the game was a FAVOR to them, a nice thing for our Troops and Troop-adjacent First Responders.

I'm pretty sure they can find some other people to hold the giant flag.

I suspect this is one of those bad bets borne out of too much Fox News. Trolly made this point earlier that lol anyone is going to boycott the NFL, fat conservative white America is going to be furiously refreshing their fantasy football teams with their ass parked on the couch with a 6 pack drowning themselves in Doritos like the rest of us, this is just something for them to plaster on their Facebook feeds during commercials.

It's an empty threat. The cops think that by threatening to take their flags home and not show up, the Browns and the NFL are going to genuflect and beg for them to come back and make their players stand and salute the flag.

The more likely scenario is the NFL isn't going to go to war with their mostly black labor and they're going to assume fat dumb white America is too lazy or buzzed from opiates and alcohol to carry out their threat, change the channel from the sportsball they are addicted to gambling on, which is almost surely the far better bet.

I think the alt-right brigades call this virtue signaling, that is, empty gestures designed to demonstrate your own good character (e.g., you're a good patriot authoritarian in this case). Right wing America is virtue signaling over Kaep and threatening to not watch the NFL. The threat is empty and they don't care that much about Kaep and people kneeling through the anthem. NFL remains the safest bet in town, precisely because right wing America will never turn it off.

I'm not so sure what's so bad about martial law anymore. The military is way better than the police.

Really feels like Falcon has been posting on fumes for a couple of years. Stick to the food desert quips, old-timer.

I forget if I posted this, but it nails the anitifa issue for me. https://www.facebook.com/permalink.p...00008083698763

Quote:
Yesterday I opened Twitter to find Mia Farrow, of all people, tweeting this - "Shame on #antifa for attacking peaceful right-wing demonstrators in Berkeley. We don't want or need you" along with a link to a news story about anti-fascist activists attacking Trump supporters. So, after I got done wondering what this "we" **** is all about, I got to thinking about how somebody like Ms. Farrow can comprehend a phenomenon like antifa, and my own, past experiences with fascists

My experience has mainly been connected to music. Indie music scenes have attracted fascists for decades. Although half the band was Jewish, very early on the Ramones began using Nazi imagery just to shock, but the immediate response of both friends and club owners made them give it up. Much the same has happened since then, when bands incorporate Nazi signifiers – either they give them up or they wind up playing for Nazi crowds. Because hard experience talk the lesson that there is no coexistence with Nazis.

Once a club starts featuring Nazi bands, and the bands bring their followers, non-Nazis just don't want to be around. it's just not worth it anymore. So the music scene learned very early on that you either reject and expel these *******s immediately or they are going to take over and make life miserable. It wasn't some sort of organized ostracization on the part of the crowds, generally. It's just that the culture learned what happens when you let them stay. It's wasn't overtly political, it wasn't any sort of statement about fascism. It was just people not wanting to be around them for a very simple reason.

Modern-day Nazis are just ****ing *******s. They are just ****ty, nasty, awful *******s. Every time.
Quote:
And that's what attracted today's Nazis. Understand that.

Unlike the original Nazis, today's didn't join because they were attracted to inspiring words about national pride, and they didn't join in ignorance of the ultimate outcome of Nazi ideas, the goals. No semi-decent person sees the images of the death camps and thinks "I should look into these Nazis a little more, maybe they had some good ideas." The contemporary crop didn't learn about Nazi political ideology first and decide to adopt it. They didn't grow up at the bottom of a ****ing well. Every single contemporary Nazi was attracted to Nazism cognizant of of its worst crimes. Not in spite of those crimes, and generally because of them. They saw the video, they read the history, and they thought "That's sounds great, sign me up." Even the ones who deny the holocaust like it. They revel in the imagery of the Holocaust. That's what they're in it for. The Holocaust isn't a bug for them, it's a feature.

They don't divorce themselves from the history of the name. It wouldn't be hard. It's certainly possible to advocate racist positions without appropriating Nazi or fascist specific iconography or ideas. Some on the alt-right even try. But, eventually, they slip up and out pops a seig heil or a "blood and soil". They want the history. They celebrate that history. Things that would have horrified the people who wound up committing war crimes for the Reich, had they known of them before joining the party, are what these people are attracted to.

In order to be comfortable with Nazism now, 70 years after Allied troops freed the thousands from the camps, after the townspeople of nearby Weimar were forced at gunpoint to tour the Buchenwald camp, you are committing to an evil far more concrete, more completely understood, than anyone but Adolph Hitler could have known until the Third Reich fell. The people who identify with Nazism in the present day are, in some very important ways, worse than the originals. They know what happened, they've seen the footage of the starving men and women, the piles of skulls, the corpses of the children, they like it.
09-03-2017 , 02:03 PM
Yes and no. Hitler wasn't the only one. And it wasn't that big a surprise. Euros had been talking about exterminating Jews for a long time.

Here's anarchist Proudhon in the 19th century.

Quote:
The Jew is the enemy of humankind. They must be sent back to Asia or be exterminated.
But, the typical conscripted German in WW2 certainly was less bad in terms of thought as opposed to action than a modern Nazi.
09-03-2017 , 02:13 PM
Martin Luther in 1500s was anti-semitic. It really just goes back to Jews getting blamed for Jesus' demise.

Modern Nazis are atrocious because they are disproven by science at every turn and still persist.

Nice one. POS fraud to the core.

They seriously just picked Mark Zuckerberg as the family stock photo, lol.

There are a lot of scumbags in solar who try to make you feel like their website is some special and official conduit to government programs.
09-03-2017 , 04:21 PM
Surprised Gorka doesn't have a Waffen SS bumper sticker.
09-03-2017 , 08:07 PM
So a couple of different deplorables on my facebooks have been posting about some banana thing that has LIBRULZ TOTALLY TRIGGERED

these guys are from totally different parts of my life, so to see both of them talking about this at the same time set off alarm bells

The story they're referring to is incredibly dumb (cliffs, some frat boy threw a banana peel into a tree, some POC saw it and assumed it was a lynching threat, university something something cracking down on politically incorrect fruit, obviously there are a lot of details left out), but if you google around you quickly find that there are only like four alt-right websites "reporting" on this story. There's literally nothing from any semi-reputable source about this.

one of these guys lectured me about how liberals just look for stuff to complain about. I asked him if that were the case why wasn't the liberal fake news media ALL OVER this story of a cis white male threatening to lynch POC, he then called me a bully.
09-03-2017 , 08:26 PM
PETER DAOU has a new scam, he's gotten dumbass "investors" to give him $800M to attach barcodes to "facts" that his new twitter account "verifies"





See guys, you can't get bullied now because a twitter account says it's true
