You already admitted in this thread that you wanted to participate in pedophilia with your teachers when you were a kid as reason why you post all the articles about teacher pedophilia. That you vicariously relive that still is extremely telling as to your disposition toward recent events: you don't see anything wrong with it.

In the most recent post when people criticized the teacher you defended her stating that they were just the statements of the sexually frustrated. That is defending a pedophile in and of itself, dimwit.

You also told us that you set expectations on others based on what you expected of yourself.

What then are we supposed to make of you saying that Hastert's victims were willing after you revel in other teachers having sex with willing teens? You obviously think consent exonerates the behavior. You can call it acquiesce or whatever but its there just the same.

Are you a registered sex offender?

You throw the term slave in knowing exactly what it implies.
Stop with your gibberish and need to one up.
You know exactly what I stated and exactly what I mean.

Stop with the juvenile distortions. I know exactly where the OP and others are coming from.
You are implying violence IN THIS CASE is a way. It's not. It's counterproductive and you know this.

"Turn the other cheek " just where the fck did I state this? This is a GD presidential election, not a revolution. Now I'm going to pull your shit: Is this how you make America better since it's so Fd up Mr. FuzzyTrump revolution? That article is shit. This is a presidential election.

I said slave morality which was termed by Nietzsche.

There is a wiki page to assuage your ignorance. He was in Prussia in the 18th century and while I'm sure that he was aware of the existence of US slaves, I doubt that he thought in terms of their dialect.

Don't tell me what I know. Speak for yourself. I don't think like you nor do I wish to. I take things on a case by case basis and judge on the merits of what actually happened. I refuse to paint that broad a brush so spare me your universals. Violence can be an effective solution in some cases.

During Trump rallies. The ones democratic candidates have already condemned but you and others try to go on with the but, but, but...
Especially after the putrid article trying to excuse the violence and attempting to excuse the violence by bringing up cases that had little to nothing in common with the incidents referred to. Again, since you appear to like to slither and basically produce disingenuous arguments for the sake of arguing:

Violent attacks on Trump supporters at Trump rallies as we have seen during this presidential election are counterproductive.

Period.

Now go pull a SA by finding a video that shows Trump supporters throwing sucker punches at a Hillary rally so we can condemn this as well.

And if you don't know enough, don't post in the first place. You present a disingenuous argument by trying to widen the incidents referred to by myself and then claim to not know enough.... Jesus. Clean up the act.

He has a point about his rhetoric and the Civil Right era violence.

NYT piece was also cited in the article:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uByqMDn1kBc

How about Trump and the GOP take responsibility for the rhetoric as opposed to the narrative we are being fed here.

These snippets above are exactly why you don't react to this guy with violence. And yes, they are highly snipped for effect. Trump is constantly digging himself holes yet people want to give him a way to climb out by reacting violently? The juxtaposition with the civil rights movement is of course highly dubious as some of these demonstrators were attempting to interrupt the rally and letting the speaker speak. Let him speak. Let him walk off the ledge.

As a wider topic I don't think people get why Trump has gained so much popularity. He has definitely mined the white male frustrated with low wages. He has tapped that mine which infuriates old guard Republicans. The very base uneducated populous reaction gained through the blaming Mexico, Muslims, etc... is evident and strong. This need to scapegoat a certain group of people gains steam when the blamed react back violently. Or the so called intellectuals compare this with a Nazi phenomena to rationalize the violence. This is not postwar WW1 Germany. If these so called intellectuals think it is post war Germany then they to have bought into the "make America great again" BS as well. Exactly what time periods was America great? At what point in the past are we aiming for now? Do we wish to reconstruct post WW2 50s? What?

His rhetoric and policy propositions are more comparable to the European fascists than any other presidential candidates in the last 100 years. HE gets routinely compared to George Wallace The xenophobic racism, talk of national glory, and heavy handed treatment of political enemies are all hallmarks and Wallace was the tamest of the three. Trump and the fascists supporters are and were the uneducated dispossessed majority. Wallace had the poor white southerners.

You can pretend that that shit can never happen again but history repeats itself constantly particularly amongst the uneducated.

My point was to try and get you to look at a case by case basis rather than your blanket condemnation. I set a high standard of proof for condemnation and there are various disparate incidents. I am not without a clue to the specifics but have far less information than I require. Your standards of proof are poor. I am satisfied with the legal process however and as I pointed out many of the accused will ahve their day in court. The status quo suits me just fine.

And what on Earth do Democratic leaders positions have to do with anything? Of course they are going to say the politically correct thing to suit the LCD. I don't waste my time with posturing. I think for myself. You should try it.

You cannot even address what the article says. You just go with another blanket dismissal. The article particularly addresses the blanket dismissal and correctly points out that violence does work with empirical examples. He doesn't use a blanket statement but rather insists a more nuanced look at the issue. You aren't ready for that.

You need to learn what mutually exclusive means. Your attempt at deduction fails that test. He still makes the case I stated. Your interpretation does not exclude it in the least.

You espoused slave morality of moral relativism before and as I already said, I reject that methodology. I don't bother with such things as most often they boil down to personal preferences. Case by case basis determined by objective fact. Your blanket ideology is very droll to me. Just because it is salient to you doesn't mean its salient to me.

I was talking about how fascists came to power. Hitler was elected. He went to jail for violence and wrote Mein Kampf. When he came out he claimed to have turned over a new leaf and tried nonviolent means to power. He didn't take long to revert burning the reichstag in the days after the election. I would say Mussolini with his bombast and claims to Italian greatness are the more apt comparison. You really need stormtroopers to be compared to Hitler. Benito was elected too.

As I stated before the racist xenophobia, calls for violent response to protest, and stark nationalism are similar to the rhetoric used by European fascists coming to power in the early 20th century.

This is the thesis of the article:


As a result, a litany of think-pieces and condemnations from liberal media and politicians are making their rounds to make it clear how unacceptable and counterproductive any violence or rioting is, urging people to “listen to the other side,” and to use “legitimate means“ to fight Trump’s rise—ignoring the possibility of fascism in the US rising with it. Those who stray from this nonviolent narrative, like Emmet Rensin, an editor at Vox who tweeted that people should riot when Trump comes to town, face swift and punitive redress, urging them to fall back in line. Amidst the hot takes and denunciations from liberals, they all seem to miss a few key points. First, they misplace the blame. Second, they misunderstand the desired outcome from violent resistance and those protesting Trump in general. And third, they ignore the history of successful violent insurrection in the US, instead favoring the elementary school version of history in which nonviolence is the only means of struggle that’s ever achieved a thing.

:lol and you were complaining about my discussion of fascism as an aside.

Point 1


Point one. These denunciations of violence from anti-Trump protestors rest on the misguided view that the divide Trump’s exposed is a typical political disagreement between partisans, and should be handled as such. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Trump might not be a fascist in the 20th century European sense of the term—though many of his supporters are—but he might represent its 21st century US version. There’s no doubt he’s expanded the Overton Window to include rhetoric previously well outside its bounds. His calls for a “deportation force“ to expel 11+ million people from the country, his claims that most Mexican immigrants are rapists and criminals, his calls to keep databases of Muslims and to enact a total ban on Muslims entering the country, his rampant sexism, his mocking people with disabilities, and his propensity for lying have brought the already pathetic state of US political discourse to astoundingly precarious lows. Treating this like politics as usual allows it to become politics as usual, and those who do so risk complicity ushering in a new era of fascist politics in the United States.

You at no point address his point that this isn't politics as usual where your blanket statements make sense. That last line I find particularly compelling. Trump becoming status quo is a real danger and worth fighting against.

Violence is counterproductive During Trump rallies.
Period.

Now you can continue with the but, but...
You act like I want the man elected.
I am telling you this violence is part of how you get him elected.

End of story.

If you wish to go through the French Revolution with me and discuss when violence was necessary and when violence was counterproductive we can create another thread.

they ignore the history of successful violent insurrection in the US, instead favoring the elementary school version of history in which nonviolence is the only means of struggle that’s ever achieved a thing.

You're slave moralising again. How is that going to get him elected particularly when he obviously brought this upon himself? Since the violence started he has done worse in the polls empirically.

You would be Chamberlain following the invasion of Czechoslovakia. Naive in your moral delusion.

This is not a revolution. This is not the beginning of an apocalypse. This is NOT a NAZI invasion. "Ignoring the history of violent INSURRECTION" Insurrection?
Really?

Explain how sucker punching innocent people (albeit naive IMO) in the back of the head is akin to a violent INSURRECTION?
This is the problem. This is not some fight for freedom. It's simple cowardice. It's punks finding a way to have some summer fun by way of protesters getting too nasty. You can see it in the videos. Some of the protesters actually realize by throwing shit, pulling hats off, screaming face to face, they created a mess, Some even attempt to hold the punks back. It's not a mass movement of violence as SA wants people to believe. Liberals are buying into this. Incredible...

This would not have occurred with a peaceful counterprotest. Period end of story. Don't give punks an avenue to act out. This is not a blanket statement, this is specifically concerning the Trump protesters allowing punks to act out. Keep protesting but please get rid of the spitting hat pulling screaming. Use less aggressive tactics. Simple.

Yeah violent insurrection. The gay bar in California, the LA riots, the St Louis riots, the American revolution, the Harper rebellion leading up to the Civil War, all kinds of shit during the 1960s for all the MLK handwaving, and all manner of violent insurrection has led to change for the better in the history of this country alone.

People see him as an authoritarian unto Mussolini and a racist unto George Wallace, David Duke, and the nazis. He wants to oppress people setting up camps for immigrants, banning muslims, and blaming the poor. He tells his people to 'punch them in the face' and that 'he will cover their legal fees.' And you're surprised people come looking for a fight.

And despite it coming back the other way, I suggest you go back to March when the violence was directed the other way. Prior to that they simply would be loud and try to interrupt the rallies with chants. Trump supporters started attacking them with Trump encouragement. That was when Trump started talking about paying legal fees and how things 'used to be' after they were arrested. Now that things have escalated you want to point the finger because people don't want to take the Salt March?

It's a group of about 700 people. That you are surprised and carrying on that it escalated in the Bay area last week is hilarious considering the area. You don't call out people there as a general rule. I guess you identify as liberal and are scared to be conflated with the protesters. That's what you see as counterproductive. I don't see pluralism having to work like that.

Sorry Fuzz.

This is not anything like the events you named.

So basically you agree with SA. This is a violent leftist uprising. Only you say it is in reaction to legitimate threats made by the other side. So you side with SA on his call but also go further with a call to violence. This is not the 60s and George Wallace. No way no how. We have not sent nor lost large numbers of drafted young men. You can't talk 60s without Vietnam. And we are in no way close to post WW1 and the hardships it caused resulting in horrid economic conditions required for real authoritarian leaders.

Basically there is no way in hell I categorize what I commented on with the events listed above. I think people choose to think the time the live they live in is as extraordinary as others in history. I am going to say IMO you are off on this.

I would be called liberal by some, conservative by others. Depends on which group of friends I'm with.

Aside: In fact I would say Trump is actually garnering many votes from neutrals who see a giant establishment boogie man because of the unique nature of the primaries and the current lack of cleaner candidates.

It will be impossible, over the long term, to maintain peace and even national unity if elite media and the Democratic party continue to condone and even encourage political violence and the systematic violation of individual rights by its radical progressive base. From Occupy to Ferguson to Baltimore to the unrest on campus, Americans have watched the liberal establishment trip over itself to express solidarity and sympathy with protesters who’ve burned, looted, shut down roads and parks, and violated the fundamental rights of American citizens. As Trump supporters are fond of pointing out on Twitter, this didn’t happen at a Trump event:

For the better part of two years, millions of Americans have watched as violence and disruption actually work. At college campuses, radical students and allied professors and administrators will shout down dissenters, intimidate fellow students, disrupt the educational process, and win.

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=-webkit-standard]In the streets of American cities, protesters will riot, vandalize, block traffic, and invade shops and restaurants, and they win. When the narratives (“Hands up, don’t shoot,” or “It’s open season” on black males) are debunked by facts, protesters still prevail. Police tactics change even as the national murder rate seems set for its largest spike in 25 years. In the nation’s 50 largest cities, 770 more people were murdered in 2015 than in the previous year. Yet with the exception of a few courageous progressives, the Left largely hails this unrest. Even riots are excused or minimized by leading figures in the liberal intelligentsia, and mob actions that violate the free-speech rights of fellow citizens — by shouting down or shutting down events the Left doesn’t like — are whitewashed as “peaceful protest.”



Blocking traffic good now.

Nope. Didn't search for you specifically.

Did a thread search for "block traffic" because I remember this being a big thing you morons were bitching about a few years back when it was lefty protesters doing it. Your old account came up as one of the mentions. Don't flatter yourself.

Now is your chance to say "blocking traffic is bad no matter who does it".

Or be a fucking hypocritical piece of shit. Which is it? "Blocking traffic is bad, even when right-wingers do it?" or "I am a hypocritical piece of shit"
