Unsure how much of this has to do with all of the calls for the DNC to stop taking corporate money vs general reputation hits from the campaign or whatever else, but unilaterally disarming would really not be good for the Dems chances of remaking majorities. Really hope this gap gets better.

"We know that many protestors were Soros funded and we also know that Donald Trump is not a racist."

It's just like the drone episode of South Park

"Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth! Our drone flew! The battery was drained! The SD card was erased! Butters was the only other person who had access to it! Butters can't use the drone without my supervision! So where does that leave us, Randy??"

Reminder that this guy literally got accepted to Berkeley, but he still buys into a known media hoax. It shows you what actually gets taught in these leftist colleges.

Literally every class I've taken at Berkeley has been a physics class

And no, the fact that it was a nazi/white supremacist march is not a "media hoax."

I find it hard to believe there are actual nazis running around. Call me naive. A moron like Richard Spencer calling himself a nazi means little. It's not like he himself was gassing people, and he just does it to be a jackass and troll people. What's actually going on is the Saul Alinsky tactic of labeling one's opposition. The left's entire platform is "everyone I don't like is literally Hitler", which is laughably stupid and very intellectually dishonest.

Random unrelated historical fact: 100,000 Jews served in Hitler's army. It's totally unrelated to the topic at hand, but I found it interesting (in a horrifying way) that Jews would be willing to round up their own people.

Please watch the 20 minute Vice documentary
While they are pathetic, they can't afford to be dismissed as a joke.

There will always be the odd 5 people in a crowd of 500 who carry a swastika. To say all 500 were nazis is propaganda of Soviet proportions.

They were literally fucking chanting "blood and soil" and "Jews will not replace us." If you're a "very fine person" who happened to show up because you just really care about statues of Confederate generals you would have seen the nazis, released this was not the gathering you thought it was, and went home. Everyone there was a nazi, a white supremacist, or was totally okay with being in their company.

I'm yet to see these "nazis" in the US. It's just a media strawman. They call Bannon a nazi and he's been an Israel shill for years. Having conservative opinions does not make you a nazi. Showing up to protect confederate statues does not make you a nazi.

These people are fucking nazis:



The statue was a pretext, not the real reason for their gathering.
---

Congrats to BKSheikah for winning the BYIG Guru Challenge!

Also violence is not the only (or most effective) way to deal with these people. For example, seeing all of these stories about nazis losing their jobs is probably going to cause more second thoughts about future rally attendance than stories about nazis being punched.

To be clear I think that people coming out to peacefully counter the nazi message (and make it clear that they're a fringe ideology that most people reject, as happened today in Boston) is a very good thing; I'm not saying let them have their gathering uninterrupted.

Also maybe it's just me, but I don't see the whole martyr excuse working out here.


"Well he said he wanted to cleanse the land of all these Jews and [racial slur]s and has talked about wanting to go to war..... but some random person punched him in the face, so maybe he has the right idea after all!"

The context isn't always going to be presented, though

Some people are just going to present the nazi-punching as "another example of the violent left", and then some conservatives-but-not-nazis will be free to imagine that the person getting punched was one of the supposed "very fine people" who was "just protesting the removal of a statue" or something.

Not as bad

Still stupid to do though (unless actually in self defense). It gives the nazis more ammo to claim that they're being victimized.

I liked this statement. I think people further left than me (probably the majority here?) would say it doesn't go far enough to repudiate Trump but I like the brainstorming that he's doing.

I think most of the stuff in the statement is correct.

I hope the news cycle isn't about how this is going to fix Trump's racism problem, though; he failed to condemn the nazis all on his own.

Well, the lack of restarting totally from game overs definitely makes dying a lot more bearable than in the originals. I don't anticipate becoming too frustrated to beat it with Sonic, but if I do I'll keep that in mind!

Congrats to BKSheikah for winning the BYIG Guru Challenge!

I never really got the hang of 2D Sonic. I always feel like I'm playing them incorrectly.

Something about rushing through levels with multiple paths instead of exploring everything like I usually do maybe. Losing all of my coins from any hit also always felt like a weird mechanic to me and I'm not sure if I should be attacking enemies or avoiding them (and whether to bother going out of my way to collect coins).

Omg is this a bean machine boss???

I don't think I could bring myself to approve of Trump given his current history regardless of any future good things he might do. I could acknowledge that the hypothetical actions were good, but some things just can't be cancelled out.

Obviously it's not going to be 800 (or like 1300 or wherever Oda finishes the manga/anime) episodes, but there's also really a limit to how much you can compress things before they just stop making any sense.

The real question is where the hell is that Monster live action adaptation?

Just posted about this in the politics topic.

I'll reiterate here that yes, the person who did this is a piece of shit and should go to jail. That said, a large piece of the blame for this incident lies with the nazis; if you start spreading gasoline everywhere and someone else lights a match, it's your fault too.

This is pretty gross:

https://twitter.com/jaketapper/status/897977496930570240

I think it is important to condemn this sort of thing, but to be very careful about it (lest you fall into the "many sides"-ism of Trump that seeks to let nazis off the hook)

First, it's important to note that most counterprotestors were peaceful (i.e. It's not nazis vs extremists on the left, it's nazis vs normal people that oppose nazis and also there are a few violent assholes showing up)

Second, any criticism of this violence on "the other side" needs to avoid either explicitly or implicitly letting the nazis off the hook. In fact, they share a sizable portion of the blame. A violent response to their hateful message and actions is extremely predictable.

That said, any tenuous defense someone may have for violence goes out the window when you're attacking unrelated parties. I'm glad they arrested the dude and hope the Nazis and their apologists aren't able to successfully use him to deflect criticism from themselves.
