Social media created the feedback loop that drove everyone mad with social justice. Just like in the Chinese camp, the subtle but constant pressure to make cheap moralistic statements resulted in mass conversions. I believe this is the true cause of the "great awokening"

Most people want to appear compassionate. A political slogan, a bleeding heart story, these things that you spread virally, they change your self-image. And they leave you with evidence, public evidence, that you are the kind of person who speaks out about "systemic oppression"

Huh, always fails in Firefox, but works in an old version of Safari.

It's not my firewall or ad blockers, same result in Firefox when those are turned off.

Brownshirt

The term brownshirt is sometimes used to refer to white members of the left, with the implication being that they, like Hitler's paramilitary Brownshirts (Sturmabteilung), will be disposed of by the rest of the left when they are no longer "useful".

Patrick says

But we should talk about black crime, because nothing will get better until black crime is acknowledged to be the biggest problem holding black people back.

Crime is derived from the complete destruction of the family in black neighborhoods. Nocoup brings it up all the time. Until they fix family and hold these men and women accountable, nothing will change. You can't just keep giving people free food, free housing, free phones and expect them to produce. They fuck, smoke, drink and do nothing. This happens in white trash areas too before someone gets offended. It's more prevalent in black areas in proportion to their overall population numbers though.

As an added layer, they don't want real jobs, so they get into illicit one's to keep their government benefit and get added cash income. Criminal jobs. They pop out babies, get a massive tax return, tax free mind you after not paying a dime into the system. The incentive is completely gone for women to want a "real" family in black neighborhoods. Really think about it. Women like sex just as much as men. The government basically is feeding, housing and paying them to fuck and produce even more non-productive people. Hence why I think police departments are just going to say fuck it at some point. Let them kill each other.

We're pretty much already there.

Liberals have demanded the removal of police.

Ah, all of the 1984 terms are perfect for today: thoughtcrime, wrongthink.

Not everyone took Peter Turchin seriously a decade ago when he said widespread civil unrest would sweep through the U.S. in 2020. “They had no reason to believe I wasn’t crazy,” says Turchin, a 63-year-old researcher who teaches cultural evolution at the University of Connecticut.

Of course this could never be Universities intent on creating a self fulfilling prophecy a reality, by political hacks, and Commie opportunists.


Nah! Because all of the end of the world predictions of the 2000's have been all spot on.

Mo Sarcasm! Mo Sarcasm! Mo Sarcasm!

We all know where it is going.

Yes! Every Idiot you see in public relishing their mask like a prop and rioting for reasons unknown to anyone. All watched the umpteen Zombie genre Series and Movies over the last decade, and secretly wished Zombies were real. So they could bash the fash.

It's election year, Jethro. Intelligence Agency mediated civil unrest. They were just waiting for a designated flash point to unleash the useful idiots. The fake news press is lined up next to spread blame to Trump.

Things will get all peaceful for the grazing, narcotized masses and idiopolous conformists as soon as country whoring Dems are re-elected.

Keep your mask on so you don't catch it.

What you would consider the hard left?

Can we point out TDS when we see it anymore?

DILLIGAF says

an elite asserting control in the name of a nationalistic vision, the secular substitute for the divine right of the absolutist monarch. The legal debates of late Weimar shed a troubling light on our situation.

Trump is not a Nazi.

Trump should EO that the Vice President has the authority and discretion to restore the SCOTUS tie.
We need send the activist Judges to hell.

DILLIGAF says

Can we stop jumping to conclusions before thoroughly consuming the OP and the message conveyed ?

I hear you, but when I hear:DILLIGAF says

the US attorney general William Barr is ‘The Carl Schmitt Of Our Time’.

In other words Trump's attorney Barr is like Hitler's Attorney Schmitt. Thus Trump is literally Hitler.

Do you think Trump is like Hitler?

https://spectator.us/anti-racism-really-means-debate-white-fragility/

Robin DiAngelo, a New York Times bestselling scholar of the ‘critical whiteness’ aspect of Critical Race Theory, sees racism in everything. She explains what she calls ‘racism’ this way: ‘the question is not “did racism take place?” but instead “how did racism manifest in this situation?”’ In other words, all situations contain racism, and it is up to the anti-racist activist to uncover it. To do anything else is described as — you guessed it — being a ‘racist’ by upholding ‘racism’.

Second, understand how these ideas are used unfairly against you. The ‘anti-racism’ program offered by Critical Race Theory offers no neutrality. Everyone is either an ‘anti-racist’ or they are ‘racists’ by default. The lines of literature in which DiAngelo situates her claims clearly state that there is no such thing as being not-racist, and she repeatedly asserts that neutrality on this issue means favoring ‘racism’. Not even progressives are safe. DiAngelo writes, ‘white progressives cause the most daily damage to people of color. I define a white progressive as any white person who thinks he or she is not racist, or is less racist.’

So you can't win no matter what you say or do. You are automatically convicted of the "original sin" of racism just by being born with a low ranking in the Victimization Olympics.

The right answer, as Morgan Freeman pointed out, is to stop talking about it.

Just literally never talk about racism at all. Racism in the US is 99% imaginary, and kind of modern-day witchcraft assumed to exist to legitimate the witch-hunts. Don't perpetuate "racism" by letting them make you even use the word. This comment has to use it to make the point, but from now on, I'm going to make an effort to not even mention it, but instead to immediately switch to terms they have to use to continue the discussion:

the red pill
black crime matters
victimization olympics
western civilization
deep state
diversity of opinion
thoughtcrime
wrongthink
freedom to offend
virtue signaling
the censor's wedge
the religion without a name
violent leftists
the soft bigotry of low expectations
clown world
NPC
islam is right about women
blacks are right about gays
feels before reals (leftist denial of reality)
e pluribus unum
baizuo

We literally have the "Far Left" burning down cities, looting, tearing down statues (including Lincoln and Abolitionists) and killing cops around the country in an orgy of EMO mob violence based on the LIE that Progressive Left-wing cities like Minneapolis are run by a bunch of racists..

We have Leftist mayors like DeBlasio threatening Jews and locking up parks frequented by Jews while he participates in massive BLM rallies.

And the Voxs of the world are still fretting about the "Alt-Right"?

WTAF?

What the apocalypse fuck?

Do you think Trump is like Hitler?

I don’t think that was the intent of the OP. The point was that Schmitt was a populist thinker, who did his best work under the Weimar Republic, and also did perhaps reluctantly work for the Nazis. Which is like saying that Facebook employees work for Zuckerberg.

Tim Aurora says

Once Trump has lost or gone, these people are not going away. They will come back with other white supremacists such as Spencer, etc. We need to be vigilant.

I really can't be bothered with that but I am confident that you will be vigilant enough for the both of us...Thanks in advance...Godspeed... and good luck.

Is this what you mean when you say ALT-RIGHT?
The 'alt-right' or 'alternative right' is a name currently embraced by some white supremacists and white nationalists to refer to themselves and their ideology, which emphasizes preserving and protecting the white race in the United States in addition to, or over, other traditional conservative positions such as limited government, low taxes and strict law-and-order.
If that is so, the POC that support Trump are in this ill defined group? lol

Tim Aurora says

I think Donald forgot the "." in D.rain the Swamp. BTW, D stands for Donald, so it is Donald rain the Swamp

This kind of wordplay joke my 2nd grader would make. Did your kid get a hold of your phone, Timmy?

I'm so sick of these KKK White Hood Guys and Confederate Reenactors going around and burning cities down, and when they are drunk in a parking lot, getting shot resisting arrest, and then the Goober White Trash burning the Wendy's down.

They're all on welfare, popping out future criminals. As soon as the Grand Dragons get probation, all the Linda Rae's are copulating with them and making more KKK Babies.

These White Supremacist Alt Right guys need to be taught a lesson.

komputodo says

preserving and protecting the white race in the United States ... limited government, low taxes and strict law-and-order

Ain't nothing wrong with any of that.

The summary at the end of the article is that

The terminus of Schmittean logic is not ‘the people’ asserting control of elites, but an elite asserting control in the name of a nationalistic vision, the secular substitute for the divine right of the absolutist monarch. The legal debates of late Weimar shed a troubling light on our situation.

"an elite asserting control in the name of a nationalistic vision" is code for Trump. They're dog whistling to the progressives who often say "Trump is literally Hitler".

DILLIGAF says

the merits or lack thereof concerning the legal concepts discussed in the OP

So what is the merit, or lack of, in your posted article? Please summarize the point you are trying to illustrate?

DILLIGAF says

It also eliminates me getting into a game of "gotcha" and entertaining you purely for the sake of your own amusement.

Ya. I hate that too. Reminds me of a duck I knew...

"How does a 20 year old with no income get access to that kind of leverage/exposure?!"

That's a good question! I thought he'd be someone at least in his 30's! One of the things wrong with our whole economic system.

Apparently, he doesn't understand the concept of bankruptcy, in that he was never going to have to pay anything.

His executive managing director needs to be fired and charged for fraud.

All accounts, esp one which use margin, need to periodically post available cash and pay for the margin used, esp for longer term trades.

Seriously, we have those reports continuously and so far, since our prop trading team is among the best, will never face a down quarter, nevermind a catastrophic loss like this bozo.

Why don't you post this in FUCKCCp89, I didn't realize they'd already posted this and I'll take this one down after awhile.

Lol the alt right is peaceful while the retarded left is burning down the cities. Whatchou talking about?!

This is a load of bull in today's context. The problem of today's politics is that the rule of law is not upheld so that people are free to immigrate illegally, rape, kill and loot and burn down cities in the name of marxist ideologies. The US is currently in a state of Maoism and the so called strongmen are simply a reaction to this. They are not reactionary at all they simply stand for upholding the rule of law like the lefties used to do before being coopted by the cultural marxists.

I think at a certain level Tim and all the other libs on this site are questioning themselves now. Almost 4 years of Trump and none of their predictions have come true. Yet now they get to watch their side stir up race wars and enact draconian lockdowns all to win an election for a rapist. The cognitive dissonance must give them migraines.

Rule of Law is not demanding Laws on the Books not be enforced.

Rule of Law is not declaring that police using tasers on aggressive drunks is deadly force, then a few days later declaring that the police weren't justified in using deadly force on an aggressive drunk using a deadly force taser on them.

Rule of Law is not declaring the Electoral College invalid because the winner didn't also get the popular vote, which is not how Presidential Elections have ever been run since 1792.

Rule of Law is not letting illegal aliens go for traffic and business violations, knowing they won't show up, while throwing the book at American Citizens for maximum revenue.
