Basically, you need at least some minimal level of nationalism and/or patriotism to hold it all together. You're right about that. I misread your post and I apologize for that. I still don't think you're correct though, people are pulling from different elements of our national identify. There's never been one thing you could point to and say "this is the American culture and values" because there's always been a counter thread that was always there from the beginning. Any appearance that there was an agreement before is because only some voices were counted at all. Of course there will be somewhat more conflict as more voices begin to count. But everyone is still fundamentally pulling from American values and rallying around the flag/constitution/declaration. For example, this is a country that had always had a strong Christian majority and identity, but it's also always had a lot of different sects and religions and a desire for freedom of and freedom from religion and the establishment of religion. Both are American values that go back to before the founding. --- |

If you don't want leftists to assume the worst of you and call you racists and ignore your safety based motivations, don't ignore our humanitarian motivations and assume our hatred of ICE is for cynical political reasons. Why do so many conservatives find it impossible to believe that others actually have empathy for people outside of their immediate vicinity and must find some way to dispel that and bring other's motivations down to their level of callousness and selfishness? ICE has a well publicized history of disgusting activities that are reason enough to burn the whole thing down and start over with a less punitive approach. --- |

| legendary_zell 06/29/18 8:12:27 PM #15 | Russman posted... Its because people have been tricked by the normalcy of it all. There are many many examples of a population being indifferent to an ongoing genocide. Thanks for this. This seems like it could be an explanation if people truly feel abortion is murder. However, it doesn't seem like it fully applies. My impression is that most people in that situation would deny the genocide exists or victim blame when they're indifferent to it, not affirmatively argue that it exists, identify themselves as someone who thinks it's happening....and then mostly ignore it and direct most of the time they do spend on it moralizing and head shaking. --- |

I actually don't. I hate political videos. They almost always result in shoutyness and a lack of nuance and it seems many conservatives have gone deep into the Youtube sphere and frequently have some Youtuber that they won't allow any disagreement with and simply link to a rant of his when challenged. It's a recent thing because conservatives used to at least defend themselves with words, now they link to hour long videos of some dude and claim victory when you don't watch the whole thing. It's even worse when I already agree with the person, that's profoundly baffling. No one is right often enough for me to listen to them talk like that.

This is basically email chain letter level conservatism. Har har, libs don't have jobs so they protest, while conservatives pay taxes and raise families. Conservatives had time to go to Tea Party rallies and Trump rallies (the biggest of all time, right?), but not enough to call their legislators more than a few times a year or protest about millions of babies being killed? They have time to live normal lives with fun, but they don't care about that? And they see that whatever "civil" approach they're taking isn't working and is leading to more death, but they don't change? That reflects very poorly on them at best. But you might be right considering this same group of people's reaction to other horrible things. I've worked for legislators in conservative states dealing with healthcare related stuff and we never got a call related to abortion, even when healthcare was by far the biggest issue a few years ago. But people definitely call their school and complain about sex ed. Again, this should be significantly worse than slavery in their minds and yet most spend what little energy they spend on shaming and telling women to keep their legs closed. --- |
| Topic | Why isn't White Supremacy taken more seriously as a threat? |
| legendary_zell 06/29/18 12:45:10 AM #161 | FLUFFYGERM posted... legendary_zell posted...I don't think you're gonna be able to have a constructive conversation on this here. For one, most people here have a narrow, partially honest, partially self-serving definition of what white supremacy means. You can't be a white supremacist if you're not out there in a hood, burning crosses. White supremacy means open membership in groups that are so identified with white supremacy that you can't deny they are white supremacist without getting laughed out of town. It's so closely identified with a few specific groups and phrases that of course there's little threat in their minds. Most of those pictures had nothing to do with white supremacy or its definition for one. Many of them were outright correct, while some were outright prejudiced toward white people. But again, that has nothing to do with white supremacy. On a side note, I never really understood this "cheapening" argument. It's every individual's responsibility to have an accurate definition of abhorrent things. Someone allegedly misusing the word homophobia, racism, rape etc does not excuse anyone from identifying and standing against these things and it doesn't have that effect on most people. It's always struck me as a post-hoc justification for people who already didn't care about speaking out against those things and wouldn't affect any well adjusted person with an accurate conceptual framework. There's a fundamental disconnect here because many are trying to recognize everywhere where white supremacy rears its ugly head because its role was largely ignored until recently and it's had a HUGE effect on American history at the very least. It was one of the foundational elements of our society from before the founding until like the 1970s. That's gonna have a tooooon of trickle down effects. It includes the idea itself, its effects, and the methods used to maintain it. But most people never get that far, they just learn KKK=White Supremacy and leave it at that. To you, that seems like a religious framework, but to others, that's just analyzing the true importance of the concept. I'm not gonna deny that people go too far with it pretty frequently, but that's another inevitable effect of people never really being taught to understand white supremacy beyond group membership and the Civil War. --- |

There legitimately are pro-lifers who think that the ability of a woman to voluntarily get an abortion means a genocide is going on and they're as annoying as the pro-choicers who frame the whole thing as hatred and oppression of women. What's a "reasonable" reaction to a holocaust? This is a very strange thing to "same thing both sides" about. If they are right there IS a holocaust going on and the children must be protected, yet they don't act like that at all. DarkTransient posted... Because that side of the political spectrum generally prefers to do things through the proper, legal, channels? I'm not advocating for illegal actions, I'm asking for an explanation of why people who think there's a holocaust going on don't take to the streets in protest, incessantly call their legislators, advocate any measure that reduces the number of abortions, push for a constitutional amendment banning abortion, push for science proving that fetuses have the features of person-hood, etc. It should be an issue that causes moral outrage even greater than what slavery caused, but instead it's merely a wedge issue that again seems to be driven far more by sexual conservatism than a desire to save lives. --- |

And that leads to a situation where people definitely know they don't want to be identified as a white supremacist because all but the most far gone know that will make most people hate and disregard you. But that also gives a strong incentive to narrow the definition so much that it's defined out of existence. --- |
