He got shook? So, like the majority of them, he's all talk and really a coward? Half of my friends on facebook were posting about the Boston one. Quite a few of them that live in the North East are planning on going to counter the white supremacists. Even ones that aren't usually very politically outspoken.

Crazydog7 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 This is a serious question how do you respond to some idiot who says that Black Lives Matter is just as bad as the Alt Right. Black Lives Matter appears to be reacting to a genuine pattern of police brutality that has been affecting the African American communities for decades even centuries t The Neo Fascists on the Alt Right appear to be good old fashioned Xenophobic Nationalists who live in a fantasy land the prime one of which appears to be this idea that the "chosen race" is on the verge of being annihilated.

Bonnot OG Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I'm worried a friend of mine is getting doxxed by neo nazis. She had a joke of hers floating around the internet that said the only n word that bothers racists is nazis. They flocked to that picture that had the joke on it when it was first posted and started to shit talk her. She got targeted by Martin Shkreli before and his Albanian nazi followers a few months back as well. She wasn't bothered either one of those instances of having a mass amount of nazis trying to shit talk online, but this time she seems worried.

Bonnot OG Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 There is no discourse to be had with these people. There is no way you can debate them and there is no way you can only protest them peacefully. They are domestic terrorists. They are a danger.

Thing is, I'm left with the impression that it does as much to bolster one aspect of the Neo-Nazi argument as it does to hurt it. There was no attempt at discourse here. Very little of what is depicted in this piece resembled a peaceful protest by either side. I think both sides of this shitshow can post this particular video and proclaim a PR victory of sorts. Why can't we protest them peacefully? Had they just been left to hold their little fascist circle jerk, made their shitty little speeches, wave their failed, defeated little symbols? Tape them. Scream at them. Chant your protest slogans, but let them dig their own fucking hole with their shitty words and failed ideology. Wouldn't that have looked worse?

Bonnot OG Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Andrew Alan Escher Auernheimer, aka "Weev", the system administrator for The Daily Stormer is planning on sending Nazis to Heather Heyer's funeral. For those of you who don't know who he is, read up on him. He is a self loathing jewish nazi. Nope, not joking, he is actually jewish and a nazi. Read some of the things he says and what he would like to do if he could go.http://heavy.com/news/2017/08/daily-stormer-weev-heather-heyer-funeral-nazi-charlottesville-andrew-auernheimer/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazydog7 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I will give the Alt-right credit on this one point. They can at least recognize Trump's idiotic statement of "Racism is bad" as the pile of horseshit that it is. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/08/alt-right-leaders-wont-condemn-ramming-suspect/536880/ Why can't the rest of the news media?

Not exactly a stirring moment, but we all know Trump is a racist, that ship sailed long ago.

LongRider Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 The Hill is reporting this per the WSJ, which is behind a pay wall. Quote North Korea backs off Guam missile threat: report North Korea is backing off a threat to fire missiles at the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam, according to a new report. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said he had decided not to launch an attack, but warned he could change his mind. “If the Yankees persist in their extremely dangerous reckless actions on the Korean Peninsula and in its vicinity, testing the restraint of the DPRK [North Korea], the [North] will make an important decision as it already declared,” Kim said according to the country’s state media, as reported by The Wall Street Journal. The statement could help reduce tensions in the region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was most problematic about his remarks is that he didn't call out the alt-right too. He essentially gave them a pass by not associating them with the KKK and neo-nazi groups.
