I've had a couple friends-of-friends post "BUT BLM IS JUST AS RACIST!!!"

Question: are the people saying this mixing up the Charlottesville KKK people with "mainstream" Trump supporters? Or do they really think that Black Lives Matter is equivalent to people who carry swastika flags and AR-15s?

Either way it's an idiotic false equivalence but still. To what extent are everyday Fox News watchers willing to go to bat for something like white nationalism?

my perusal of social media suggests they are very much committed to the idea that BLM is literally the black KKK

Yes, they think of BLM as a violent extremist group that rampages across American cities committing atrocities.

which i'm quite certain, as the heat from this incident dissipates, mainstream conservative outlets will happily amplify

if this asshole (trump) doesn't get his fat ass off his golf course and go give a speech denunciating white supremacy down in charlottesville (where he has a goddamn winery, for fuck's sake) today or tomorrow at the latest, then fuck the entire GOP

every cop killed anywhere, every window broken in civil unrest is a directive straight BLM leaders

*straight from

Fuck them anyway

if this asshole (trump) doesn't get his fat ass off his golf course and go give a speech denunciating white supremacy down in charlottesville (where he has a goddamn winery, for fuck's sake) today or tomorrow at the latest, then fuck the entire GOP

A begrudging denunciation under pressure doesn't mean a lot.

It seems... not in his interest to avoid denouncing them. Like, what is the national approval rating for the KKK? For vehicular homicide?

idk i do think his playing footsie with these clowns is what actually got him elected.

if he denounces i don't see how the Miller/ Bannon element doesn't convince him to make some dumbass equivalencies. and it's p clear those equivalencies (up to this point, anyway) play in Peoria

He won by appealing to some of the ideas the militia people represent -- which appeal to conservative voters -- but I think it's a bit different now that there are images of people carrying swastikas and shit. And because a person has died.

Or maybe I am just wrong and everyone's elderly aunt is down with white power prison gang stuff.

I just want him to become radioactive to the Republicans so we can start the process of that party's disintegration.

i don't think they're supportive of the explicit white power stuff. they just want someone to say that BLM/ Muslims/ liberals/ gay agenda/ atheists/ Democrats are EXACTLY THE SAME, just on the other side.

like Nancy Pelosi and David Duke are that dual spiderman meme

the french lit theory moral equivalence / russian 'whataboutism' practiced by Koch and ALEC minions is resilient

it's a terrible impression, but they sure are committed to their kayfabe deplorable WWE pantomime

Meanwhile, fight the real enemy, etc

went to a vigil for Heather tonight and with more certainty than ever I can say: fuck liberals. line em up against a goddamn wall.

what a delightful tweet

Oh, read the whole thread. It's invigorating.

not sure how I feel about that tweetthread tbh

This, on the other hand, is amazing: http://www.inforum.com/opinion/letters/4311880-letter-family-denounces-teffts-racist-rhetoric-and-actions

This person is saying that Heather's radical politics weren't acknowledged in the vigil, which was dominated by liberals and their talking points. I don't know how accurate that is but it seems like grounds to be upset.

I'm not sure that the thread isn't itself an example of radical posturing and preening. I'm more offended that the poster has contempt for people running for office.

presumably the tweeter knew her personally, which mitigates much of the hyperbole

xxp And that's fine, but I find it absurd to then carry it into "if only liberals would get out of the way of our class-free, racism-free Marxist paradide" garbage.

also the vigil does sound a bit nauseating

but who gets the tone exactly right at a time of stress?

truly a quandary

You can think it's garbage but it seems like the woman who died was a socialist who did not see liberals as her comrades. If true, then it was bad for liberal orgs like Indivsible to swoop in and dominate her vigil.

True enough. Actually I'm sorry I posted that here, this isn't the place for it.

(xxxp) Mixed race, what races? Maybe she literally is Caucasian.

by the way, these bullshit Civil War statues and monuments, once the decision is made to take them down, why does it take so long? Why can't they just do it in the middle of the night some night and get it over with?

You know what's cool? Agitprop on a grave, garbage everywhere.

I read a few articles, and her dad, mom, an associate and a friend all failed to mention the BK paralegal's dedication to socialism. Fuckin lie-beral press- I know her fam had talking points for this. Wasted opportunities.

xp Josh, the experience in New Orleans was legal suits which held up removal for 2 years, new state laws attempting to override local jurisdiction, and white supremacist protests for weeks against the removals, and they still had to remove them in the dead of night, under heavy police guard, with masks on the (de)construction workers.

There are so many threads going on right now that I can't keep up. Have we touched on Jerry Drake Varnell, the 3%er who was arrested on Saturday for a bomb plot?

If I were the governor of a state I would not be saying "Gee gosh you know those guys were better armed than our police, whaddya gonna do?" on national TV, even if it were true. I found his "please go home" pretty tepid too.

there are solutions to a militarized populace that local police cannot control, it's called the National Guard

Seriously.

This is an interesting tidbit:

A man accused of ramming his car into a crowd of counter-protesters at a white nationalist rally in Virginia was denied bond Monday after the public defender's office said it couldn't represent him and the judge was forced to find a local attorney to fill in . . .

[Judge Robert] Downer said the public defenders' office informed him it could not represent Fields because a relative of someone in the office was injured in Saturday's protest. He appointed local attorney Charles Weber to represent him. Weber couldn't immediately be reached by The Associated Press.

yeah I saw that and wondered what the deal was

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/american-nazi-tourist-beaten-germany_us_59904f9ee4b09071f69a47a8

An American tourist suffered minor injuries in the German city of Dresden on Saturday morning after he was punched and beaten for repeatedly giving Nazi salutes. German police are investigating the man for violating the country’s post-1945 laws that ban the use of Nazi symbols.

Authorities are also looking for the assailant, who apparently was passing by a cafe in the eastern Neustadt district of Dresden when he witnessed the American man’s gestures and attacked him. The incident took place at 8:15 a.m. local time, police said.

I doff my cap to the good citizens of Dresden.
