This allows you to see Trump's twitter feed.

This and Fox News is what he gets all his news from

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

How the fuck can Russians of all people be Nazi apologists?
They hate Jews too.

Why I am not surprised you seem to have a spreadsheet for this bullshit?

Look, I did not invent it, it exists:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism_in_the_Soviet_Union
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism_in_Russia

What am I supposed to do, deny it exists?  Pretends communists and their successors where all nice guys seeking to get along peacefully with their neighbours?  Sorry, I don't buy russian/communist propaganda.


We all know it exists, that you would draw our attention to it is a bit baffling.  Perhaps you'd like to tell use that water is wet next?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Is it that hard politically to say that Nazis are bad?  I really don't get this.

Trump has said that hate groups are bad.  The problem is that he either equivocates (this hate comes from many sides) or mitigates their evils (there are wonderful people on both sides); which has led many people (myself included1.) to conclude that Trump is insincere in his condemnation.

1.)  And David Duke as well,
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

We would have all been better off if the Republicans would have never had an identity with Trump.

As a positive view on all this, seeing the national uproar over the nazis, and  the local government and civil actions against these statues, especially how for the latter people take responsibility and give themselves up, seem to show me that these actions are not signs of the far-right being stronger than usual, but rather, going on a desperate offensive sensing the times getting past them.

If we accept the methodology of the SPLC that I posted a few pages back, then the number of hate groups is down, and the number of white supremacist groups is way down, from Barack's first term in office.  I don't think that this is a move of desperation, though.  I think that they think that their views have widespread acceptance due to Trump's election; whom they see as an ally.  They're striking while the iron is hot.

QuoteIf society manages to avoid being provoked into creating an environment that prefers these scumbags (e.g. Street violence on political grounds, hysteria and witch hunts), and just continue on the positive road we have been on the past couple of decades, the far-right, in the developed world at least, will lose.

I'm pretty sure Michael Bay is a fascist, we should bring back the blacklist.

;)

In time, cooler heads will prevail, at least if history is anything to go by.  We've had witch hunts and street violence before; and the United States still remained a democracy.

You could stop being a piece of garbage, but I would never expect someone to change from who they really are.
and what exactly did I do?
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Can you read?  Or is it too hard for you?
Look at the first message quoted:
How the fuck can Russians of all people be Nazi apologists?

If I don't want to hear about something, I will not ask a question about it.  I would assume am I discussing with grown up, mature individual, but that's clearly a mistake with the far left.  So, be my guest.  Confront the nazis, use violence, get fucked up, die an horrible death, it won't change anything in my life.  This is just what America needs, more violence.  Everything will be allright once enough blood has spilled in the streets. 

If history has taught us one thing, it's that fighting violent extremist movements with another violent extremist movement always has the desired effect, so there's really no problem in advocating violence against those you don't like. :)

in the past, there was at least one group committed to maintaining democracy.
Now, on one side, you've got violent thugs who do not believe in democracy.
On the other side, you've got violent thugs who do not believe in democracy.

I still don't see the difference.  It's not like the Blacks and the Jews will be spared by the commies.  It's only a matter of who's first.

That's it?  There are only two groups, both of which are made up of violent thugs?

My advice:  stop digging.

Wait for this week-end.  Both groups are just flexing their muscles.

But we've had samples of this before:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_qXh1Wf0LU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdIkkyab-Gk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFamvR9CpYw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKcTF3-Jl64
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuNHsoJVjTE

And here, my friends from the Union, those people defended by the likes of Sbr, Jacob and Oex trying to push out workers from their job because they decided no one was allowed to work that day:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fw1z9mLYzf8
Notice they don't have boots, they don't have a helmet, they don't have a harness.  If my guys did that, that would be a 50k$ fine.

This is what they do when cops and cameras are there:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceBOQBDc0_c
When there's no witnesses, it's ugly.  But hey, Jacob will defend them to his death and Oex will turn a blind eye, because, well, it's for a good cause, right?
It's just a regular day on a construction site in Quebec when the union decides no one should work.

here the guy stopped talking once the owner used his phone to tape the conversation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMyd93Oq2Uc
Notice how there 6 union thugs for 2 guys working.

All of this was illegal.  Fines up to 5000$ per incident for the union alliance as per the law.  None were fined.  None were bothered.  When entrepreneurs and workers called the cop, to protect their right to work, the union got their way as workers were expelled from the site anyway.  "For your own security sir".

Testimony of death threats and vandalism by the union, a behaviour totally acceptable to Jacob, since "scabs are the lowest of the lowest of scums", even if they weren't scabs in this case:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06-iQaESsSk


Another peaceful leftist protest:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35jbnyJfVxA

And here, the left again:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFkDx4giQPY

Really, I don't see how these guys are supposedly better than the nazis.  I'm supposed to trust them to defend my freedom?  Ah fuck, it.  they'll be the first to slaughter me, zombie like, eating my guts, while the Jacobs grin and the Oex turn away pretending not to have seen anything.


That's not the way to fight the ideas spread by the far right.  If you want to organize a counter protest, make it in another part of the city, at another time, invite 5x times more people to spread your message of peace.

They are there looking for trouble, armed with guns and shields.  Let the authorities deal with them.  Organize your own protest elsewhere with more people.  Simple, yet effective.  No violence involved from the left.  If the right wing protest turns violent, than they have no one but themselves to blame.

Now, things are escalating.  And it will be ugly.

The New York Times just had an article on the Antifa movement:

'Antifa' Grows as Left-Wing Faction Set to, Literally, Fight the Far Right

(I assume this is what you're referring to as the other side.)  Two take-aways that I have are:

1.)  The Antifas don't have a unified ideology, they're simply unified in their desire to (literally) fight the far right.
2.)  The members of this movement are very young

With these two factors I doubt this movement will be able to accomplish much of anything.  Due to their lack of a common outlook they have to be a reactive group rather than a pro-active group.  I don't support political violence; but I don't think this is really a cause for concern.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I thought Quebec unions were more of a mob thing then a commie thing? Pay your protection money and you'll be fine.
