Full Throttle 05/14/17 3:18:55 AM #1:	Do you agree with Richard and his KKK mob that "Russia" is a Friend? Yes No View Results 39 y/o Alt-Right Leader and White Supremacist Freak, Richard Spencer and HUNDREDS of TORCH-WIELDING Mobs of Supremicsts crying "Russia is our Friend" and "You Will Not Replace Us" in protest of the removal of controversial statue of pro-slavery Civil War General Robert E Lee in Virginia!! The whackos showed up at 9pm today but only for 10 minutes as police were called to break them up and forced them to scatter Public figures condemned the gathering including Mayor Mike Signer who said "The event was either profoundly ignorant or was designed to instill fear in our minority populations in a way that hearkens back to the days of the KKK. Either way, as mayor of this city, i want everyone to know this: We reject this intimidation. We are a ewlcoming city but such tolerance is not welcome here" The council voted 3-2 to have the statue booted and to sell the monument as the debate of the statue had been ongoing for a year that attracted white supremacists. The 39 y/o has been credited for reviving "white power" in people and quoted Nazi propaganda who says Donald Trump is leading them to what America SHOULD be and what they envisioned because they know deep down he is on their side.

I'm not an anarchist or "share the wealth" supporter by any means, quite the opposite, but the world is being held by the balls because of some corrupt old money families and the shit they pulled to take over an economy that isn't backed by more than a collective agreement to support it.

Don't want to "offend" anyone, facts are irrelevant. As for the story, I'm fine w/ taking down public displays of honor of people who committed terrible acts. That sort of stuff shouldn't be destroyed, if you destroy history people will forget it. But it can be relegated to museum exhibits and similar.

streamofthesky 05/17/17 12:51:50 AM #38:	Zeus posted... streamofthesky posted... Careful, duckbear. Even if these people literally call themselves "neo-nazi", you can get moderations against you for calling them nazis on safespaceFAQS. Don't want to "offend" anyone, facts are irrelevant. They've actually never modded Ducky for calling anybody a Nazi, including 17 year-old girls whose only "crime" was being Republican. He gets a free pass on all that shit, just as he will in this topic. Personally, I got warned for calling somebody who supported book burnings and the suppression a free speech one which, you know, are two of the biggest tropes. While the nazis did both of those things (among many other atrocities like torture and enslavement), so did all sorts of other tyrants and autocrats long before the nazis. Like, this ancient Chinese emperor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_of_books_and_burying_of_scholars I reserve the term nazi for people who engage(d) in, attempt(ed) to engage in, or condone(d) (including by denial even in the face of unassailable evidence that it occurred) genocide. In my entire time on GameFAQ forums, I've only used it three times. Once at a poster who said Germany lost its way after World War II ended and twice at Marine Le Pen, a holocaust denier. All three occasions were modded, and in the case of the poster (who went on to say I was part of the JIDF, an acronym I had to google, and later complained about Jews trying to twist history...all in the same topic) was never modded at all. I try not to over-use it when it's a stretch because then it dilutes the meaning of it. That said, while I disagree with you on labeling those people nazis, I wouldn't fucking report you to the mods for it. And I'm glad Duckbear hasn't gotten in trouble for it, either. No one should. If you accuse everyone of being a nazi, no one will take your accusations seriously anyway so it's a non-existent problem. Zeus posted... streamofthesky posted... As for the story, I'm fine w/ taking down public displays of honor of people who committed terrible acts. That sort of stuff shouldn't be destroyed, if you destroy history people will forget it. But it can be relegated to museum exhibits and similar. Putting a big honking statue of someone a huge portion of the population rightly reviles in outdoor public areas / town squares / etc... is more than merely "remembering" who he was. That's not really a terrible act in itself, he was just the general of a losing war. It's not like he got a statue for rounding up Native Americans or the Japanese into camps.He's a very important historical figure who isn't directly tied to genocide, etc. If it was just a matter of he supported a government which favored slavery, then you'd have to remove all of Washington's statues as well. I think there's a degree of difference between the founding fathers not making slavery illegal in the Constitution and someone rebelling against the U.S. when it tries, through the legally established protocols of the Constitution, to end slavery...
