Quorum posted:I read this (in context) to say that the leaders inciting and abetting the no poo poo Nazis in our streets are just as culpable as the Nazis themselves. That when you spew a hundred and forty characters worth of hate every single hour, you shouldn't act horrified when someone acts on it. Even out of context it reads to me like shade on Trump as the inspiration for this stuff, not like she's criticizing BLM or taking down Confederate statues or anything.

STAC Goat posted:On Monday there's going to be this laundry list of questions and connections the Trump Admin has to answer for. Miller. Bannon. Sessions. Gorkha and him just a few days ago saying they need to stop criticizing white supremacists. The DHS changes from working on those groups. The DOJ moves away from civil rights cases and towards issues of "bias against white people." gently caress I totally forgot about that line from Ghorka too, and you've got the Bannon accusation Trump made earlier too. Monday's presser (if they have one) is going to be wild.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:...plus good posters stopped reading GBS years ago and stay siloed off in subforums reading via bookmarks. Keeping gbs modded is a hard thankless job. Absolutely. When the various sub-forum ghettos were created a lot of people lost all reason to ever sift through the background noise threads in GBS again. It used to be a genuinely vibrant, varied, and entertaining place. The threads moved into sub (or sub-sub-forums in the case of Trad Games) also lost a lot of their ability to gain new posters. As I recall people were accurately predicting what would happen at the time of the purge.

Koalas March posted:This could be an interesting wedge. Trump could be the President who ties the GOP to literal Nazis. Forever. They're aware of this and it's up to them to do something if they want to save their party's image. Sadly it's just as likely to energize their base and help them win elections as it is to hurt them. It's not like republicans who supposedly aren't nazis haven't been aware of how incredibly racist and bigoted the party they vote for is and always has been. Not one person who votes republican is against racism, they might rather people be quieter about it than these nazis have been, but that's not the same as being against it.

Yeah, plague isn't exactly uncommon to find in rodents in the american southwest, but its really easily treated with modern medicine quote:The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that studies suggest that outbreaks of the plague occasionally occur in southwestern U.S. states like Arizona during cooler summers that follow wet winters.

I feel bad for the kid who is a Democrat whose image and name were plastered all over 4chan/alt-right subreddits as to blame for the car crash. Turns out it was a registered Republican Nazi kid. And now there's nothing but deflections in my local news articles comments of, "well those loony liberals have killed more."

It's endemic in rodents throughout the western us. Not hanging out with rats and modern hygiene generally keep it in check. If that fails, the plague victim can go bankrupt getting higher end antibiotics in a hospital.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Cause he doesn't Yeah, even the mild pushback he got from David Duke is something he'd clearly rather avoid. At every turn, going back to the primaries, his instinct has been to cater to his alt-right core supporters over mainstream opinion. He won the presidency while doing that (except for the token nod to the mainstream with a super weak backing off from his Birther poo poo in which he still claimed victory), and anyone still waiting for that pivot is a moron. He may make a slightly stronger statement at some point in the next few days, but it will have to be dragged out of him, because what we got today is very obviously the real Trump.

Trump's affinity for the alt-right isn't just a new thing he picked up for convenience either. His stance on the Central Park Five was taken long before he took a serious interest in politics, and he never once backed down from it. The racism is the real Trump.

Vincent Van Goatse posted:And that should stop the questions from being asked ad nauseum. No, it just shifts who the questions are directed to. Does the GOP want to be tied to racist white supremacists for the entire lifetime of millenials? Trump seems to be fine with that, so it's time to find out how many other Republicans are fine with that.

It's because his father believed and impressed on him that people of other races are inherently inferior. Stop trying to mince this poo poo people. Trump is just as much of a white supremacist and neonazi as these guys and even worse and we've been saying it for years now. This isn't some loving joke. The man read hitler for fucks sake.

I mean, it could mean she knew her son had politics she disagreed with and she avoided the subject to maintain the relationship. I stay out of a lot of my family member's politics too. There's reasons to that other than "I know he's a Nazi with psychotic desires to murder."
