Compelling argument there CBOE.

I'm guessing that he ignored you becasue he saw the way you argued yesterday, when you started saying that the teeny tiny fraction of the American left that is whacked out authoritarian, is somehow a deeply dangerous force in America and potentially risking our becoming like Nazi Germany.

Speaking of the Nazi's, there's a great documentary on reddit today that's long and I haven't finished, about the ways that TPTB manipulate the masses with propaganda targeting irrational unconscious desires, and how a big part of what the Nazis pulled off was based on the solidarity elicited by hating "the other," i.e. Jews, Gypsys, etc.

Isn't that similar to what 's happening today with Muslims. ? They're so easy to hate. You can cite terrorism. Great way to get the people on your side to bring a dangerous leaders (like Trump) to power. Of course Mexicans too. And China. Thank goodness the French are not dimwitted enough to be so easily manipulated.

Here's that documentary:www.eJ3RzGoQC4s

"The century of Self"

CBOEtrader says

Bill is an idiot

Why not meanie poopy head ? I'm guessing this has to do with other times that Bill has contradicted you about monetary policy or whatever. You know he's not an idiot. Not wanting to engage you (at least these days - when the Trump phenomenon is so adversely affecting you emotionally) shows him to be smart actually.

You are mistaken. Antifa is a natural and expected consequence of a left that consistently categorizes wrong-thinkers as nazis. Our school system is brainwashing kids from the time they are 3 to fall in line, just like the nazis did. Bill did exactly this with his propagandized french nazi flag. All of you who blame trump on racism are part of the problem. Antifa are to today's left what the hitler youth were to the nazis.... or maybe the Jews were just overreacting to a few thousand angry children too. Get your collective head out of your asses before this gets worse please.

I'll check out the docementary. Thanks for sharing.

Otherwise I guess a right wing dictatorship might be the only solution. Am I right ?

This is basically a parody of a right wing buffoon. You need to lay off of the far right nonsense.

What is it ? The pledge of allegiance ? The idea that democracy works ? What are the tenets of evil liberal dogma children are being taught ?

Every time I see a whole thread devoted to poster X calling poster Y an idiot, it makes me think a little bit less of poster X.

People who normalize antifa violence need to be called out. The nazis on the left need to reflect on their own mistakes.

I really don't care what you think of me.

marcus says

What are the tenets of evil liberal dogma children are being taught ?

They are taught that different opinions equals violent hate speech. They are taught that white privilege and the patriarchy are to blame for all their problems. They are taught that they are interesectionally oppressed. They are taught that the ethically responsible response to this oppression is violence to shut down free speech.

Look at any wrong thinker giving a talk on campus in the last 3 years to see the madness

You have to be willfully blind to not see it. As already noted, you don't care because it doesn't affect you.

Meanwhile youtube/FB/google are censoring any political dissidents. In Europe people are being arrested for wrong think. This is getting Orwellian as fuck.... But you don't care because it doesn't effect you.

Wake up, you nazis. Your freedoms will be on the chopping block next.

CBOEtrader says

In Europe people are being arrested for wrong think.

This is especially disturbing.

I'm pretty damn sure the holocaust happened, but no one should ever be fined or jailed for saying that it did not.

Unfortunately the shortsighted supporters of the mainstream left simply dont care, since it doesnt affect them...yet. It will. Taking down the "Nazis" free thinkers is only the first step.

I like Bill, but on Immigration he is closed minded, and a wee bit inconsistent.

He loathes any restrictions on immigration, but yet plans to move to Japan, the most immigrant-unfriendly country on Earth and almost entirely homogenous.

Update: I see I'm pre-banned from the thread before saying anything. Typical Neoliberal Extremist who doesn't want debate on the Impeccable, Unquestionable Holy Ideology.

It is impossible for today's left to be intellectually consistent. Today's left are equal to the 2005 neo-cons, w less honest self reflection.

Unless you count ron paul, ive never voted for an R or a D presidential candidate. I will vote for Trump in the next election if the left continues to degenerate.

Ron Paul and Trump have one thing in common: they are both Republicans. Not that there's anything wrong with that

They are taught that different opinions equals violent hate speech.

No they are not taught that. It's a lie and you're making it up. 95% of liberals at college don't believe this either. This is what happens when you drink the right wing cool aid.

CBOEtrader says

What kind of person thinks that when there are 10, or 100, or even 500 kids in the united states that think this way, that therefore this is what they have been taught in school ? I wish you had an idea of how stupid this sounds. I guarantee you that any self respecting conservative such as George Will would call you out for this idiocy.

Lay off the Alex Jones, Sean Hannity and the rest of the right wing retards. The hate might make you feel good, but it's actually that kind of thinking that leads to fascism. CBOEtrader says

Actually nobody is telling you about the times that Milo, or Christine Hauf Summers weren't t shut down by a group of 40 idiots.

Where's your common sense man ? I'm not denying the problem with the regressive right. I'm just telling you that it's probably 1/100th the size of the Tea Party ("there will be death panels") that wouldn't let their representatives speak at town hall meetings. Oh, but that's different.

Yes, the regressive left, SJW types exist. And they most of my students would think they are idiots, if they try to shut down a talk on their campus.

CBOEtrader says

Wake up, you nazis. Your freedoms will be on the chopping block next.

I think what we need is a right wing dictator to make sure things don't go that way here. Am I right ?

Yup. You are willfully blind because it doesnt affect you. This is why we are doomed.

CBOE, you really need to get out more. That right wing media is seriously messing with your mind. I get it that you like thinking that what the 10 craziest left wingers in the country are doing is what all democrats are doing. But it's just stupid. Why don't you reflect a little but on your sense of proportion. Stop getting so hyperbolic about the behavior of a teensy tiny segment of the country.

MAybe you know how stupid you sound, and this is meant as turn about for people generalizing that Trump voters are racist ? What the hell are you thinking ?

If anything, Trumps election is waking up a lot of liberals to being cautious about identity politics becasue they have seen how it triggers the dimbulbs

Sticking your head in the sand doesnt help the censorship on youtube/google/FB against wrong think. It doesnt help those who are imprisoned in Europe for wrongthink.

Show me where anything like this is happening to the left. You can't.

You are willfully blind because it doesn't affect you. Open your eyes before our liberties are gone. You can't walk down the street in Austin TX with a Trump hat on w/o being threatened. This is A LOT more than 500 people. It's thousands of snowflakes in each school. They are churning out brainwashed masses in their gender studies department, and forcing the cult of diversity on all students.

Nothing like this is coming from the right. The longer you ignore the truth, the worse its going to get, and the greater the chance that Trump will be elected again.
Wake up!

Perhaps you have missed celebrities and MSM journalists inciting violence against the right. I mean, CNN wont talk about it so it doesnt happen right? You have been lied to.

CBOEtrader says

Yup. You are willfully blind because it doesnt affect you.

Tell me what evidence you have other than the times that 20 to 40 students on a campus of 20,000 students disrupt a Milo event. Even if it was 200 that's one percent of a college.

I didn't think so. You're from the alternative facts world aren't you.

It is true that public schools aren't teaching kids the virtues of "fuck you, I've got mine," or supply side voodoo economics. But they sure aren't teaching kids the things that you fantasize they are. And it would affect me if they were. I work with children all the time, and I know they don't think that way.
