Less than 2 weeks and there's an alarming trend that anything with a US Government seal on it can no longer be trusted.

JESUS CHRIST the administration is even leaky in the National Defense side. Reuters has U.S. officials talking about the botched Yemen raid and blaming Trump to some extent. https://twitter.com/Walldo/status/827004940392370176 Yikes.

I agree it is retarded insofar as it's asking for trouble, but it shouldn't be that way according to our ideals. And this sounds like a great discussion to continue in the punching nazis thread.

So in more UC Berkeley updates: I just saw (Via that buzzfeed live feed) someone jump onto the roof of a car and try to smash in the windshield with a bat, and the car speeding off with him on it.

joat mon posted:Yes, it does. Why gild the lily with hyperbolic lies/part truths/exaggerations when the truth is just as powerful and, well, true? You realize how patronizing this attitude is right? This and what you said earlier this week when someone said an anti-LGBT EO would kill someone they know and your response to that was skepticism. Whether you intend to or not it comes across as giving the abuser the benefit of the doubt over the word of a person who is closer to the situation than you seem to be. This happens to minorities all the time -- their concerns diminished or a call to remain rational and it's pretty offensive. It shouldn't matter if Milo outed one person or 20, his behavior is reprehensible. It easy to say that he's a troll and just ignore him, but that doesn't change the fact that he makes his victims lives hell. Does that mean riots are called for? No but some level of sympathy is required. I appreciate your desire for truth but in both of these situations a little bit of introspection or basic research would have given you the answers you were looking for. Again, whether you intend to or not, the way you've been going about it is/is going to rub people the wrong way.

I totally have sympathy for the anti-Milo crowd and fully endorse peaceful protests against him but as I sit here watching a roaming band of anarchists walking through a city and smashing everything in site long after his event is cancelled I can't help but think this is far more damaging to that cause than anything he could have said in one night.

Counterpoint: It's UC Berkeley. They do this kind of thing and will continue to do this kind of thing, because they're UC Berkeley. I don't mean that as an insult, I mean that in a literal historical perspective, it's in textbooks and everything. I just listened to the Austrailian PM talk and he's citing US officials, Sean Spicer, and Donald Trump as truthful sources. Man, the world is going to be hosed when they realize that all of those sources are total liars.

The alt-right wants ethnic cleansing, so if you're upset at protesters over property damage you're giving more value to inanimate objects than human lives.

shyduck posted:Somebody's been watching late night cable news * Sentence 1 is just hyperbolic nonsense, but the kind he's sort of a genius at. He's not starting with a fact, he's starting with an emotional outburst to trick the listener/reader into judging the following info emotionally, rather than rationally. * Name-drop of Obama, of course. What's better than proof or a reasoned argument? Just say the name of the guy from the opposing team. Done, proved, no more critical thinking required. * Trump says he needs to study the deal, which indicates that he has not already done so. He has the highest access to this information, the experts at interpreting it are at his beck-and-call, and there was absolutely no urgency to make this Tweet. Why not read up on the agreement before going on Twitter to shout about it? Remember, there is probably no human being on Earth who would need to expend less effort to have this sort of information provided to him and interpreted for him at moment's notice. That effort was not made. * The agreement was for 1,250 refugees, which is too small of a number to even call "thousands." All things considered, it's a absurdly small number to be throwing an international hissyfit over. * Trump insists that this deal is dumb. Not that it's flawed, or that it needs review, no it's straight-up dumb. How many people were involved in the decision, or what was gained or traded fo- No. DUMB. * "Why?" ... Trump really wants us to know that he does not understand this deal. I'm pretty sure we figured that one out on our own. * Either he didn't think we'd notice that his claim of it being "dumb" was based on the total ignorance that he managed to admit to twice within 140 characters, or it means that he's very proud of making decisive claims and decisions without taking the effort to look up even a minimal amount of relevant facts. Actually, it's definitely that second option, we've got a dead Navy Seal (among others) as evidence of that. It's probably also the first option. * Obviously, referring to the refugees as illegal immigrants means he not only didn't study the deal before deciding to shout it was dumb, it sounds like he fundamentally misunderstood even whatever sound-bite version someone in his staff or on TV gave to him. * Also, he refers to the refugees as illegal immigrants. Since we entered into agreement with Australia to take these refugees in, there's nothing illegal about them entering the USA. It's an agreement that literally makes it legal. Sentence 2 isn't simply wrong, it's a genuine oxymoron. So the take-away for me is that our country is led by a man who thinks a 30-second Wikipedia search is too much work, and after having launched a botched operation that cost actual people their lives because of exactly the same kind of laziness/impatience on his part, he still doesn't think it's worth the bother.

Pretty much this. SperginMcBadposter posted:The alt-right wants ethnic cleansing, so if you're upset at protesters over property damage you're giving more value to inanimate objects than human lives. He's not the alt-right, he's not the systemic threat the alt-right represents. He's one dude whose actual loving job is to rile up the opposition. Mock him, protest him, but for the love of god, don't play his game or do exactly what he's looking for. Like the very thing currently happening. Protest the gently caress out of legislation, or the systemic poo poo that supports him. But this does more harm than good in my opinion.

Back when the current Surpreme Court nominee was in prep school, he founded a club called the "Fascism Forever Club". I mean it could and probably is tongue-in-cheek but at the same time, what the gently caress  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4182852/amp/Trump-s-SCOTUS-pick-founded-club-called-Fascism-Forever.html also Zeris please rename thread or subforum to "Fascism Forever Club" tia

Reddit shuts down r/altright over doxxing. The funniest part was a few days ago a moderator said he doubted they were going anywhere since Reddit is a private company and can do what they like. Then Reddit finally realized that.

"The terrorists want death to America, so if you're upset at offending muslims you're giving more value to feelings than national security." See? It sounds loving stupid regardless of which end of the spectrum is represented when self-aggrandizing fart-huffers say poo poo like this to justify their shallow, self-indulgent, behavior. Nevermind that the very same behavior is what actually breathes life into whatever it is they're supposedly fighting against.
