Alt-Left?

Post Reply New Topic

The 'right' is a spectrum and it spans right in the center from center-right libertarian and neo-liberal/neo-conservative all the way out to the kinds of boneheads and freaks that VICE was interviewing. There are some people who I'll listen to sometimes who I think are properly in the caution zone in that they'll have some guests who are in the green, some in the yellow/caution zone, and some clearly in the red, and it's good to know what all kinds of people think. Red Ice radio is pretty deep in the yellow and have been hitting the red more and more lately, Tara McCarthy's been a bit more to every part of that spectrum and I got to hear her interview with Pax Dickonson who was one of the to-be presenters at that rally. Not that I'd find myself anywhere near where Pax is politically but he also presented as night-and-day more moderate than Chris Cantwell, hence my suggestion that there was some amount of ideological spread and... also somewhat loaded in the title, if they all had exactly the same beliefs and baggage there'd really be nothing needing to be 'unite'd.

I think my thick intellectual skull finally gets it now - objectivity is for Nazi's - so whatever I said above clearly means nothing to at least a handful of posters, might mean nothing to you either for all I know, other than their perception that I'm trying to edify Nazi's or, by their apparent fondness of communism I'm promoting national socialism in another thread (PPR) by suggesting that fascism and communism are fundamentally the same thing (the reason I come to that conclusion - there's no way I could be possibly saying something good about fascism by comparing it to communism - *unless* the person reading it feels that's a favorable comparison; I personally don't consider 100 million plus murdered in the 20th century a good track record but - what do I know.....).

Did I say a f*****g thing about the right? Now quit changing the f*****g subject just so you can avoid what I said.

Either you are a f*****g racist or you are not.

Now politics is a spectrum with abiguity just like autism.

Yeah, he is a racist who does not want to be honest about his intentions. He says "f**k Nazis" in one post, and then he advocates for their right to advocate genocide in another, so.....

My apologies, I didn't quote myself in what you were responding to. You were responding to my suggestion that there was a spectrum from normal right to crazy right at the rally. Your response really didn't offer a different rendering than 'Everyone at the rally was racist and if they didn't seem like racists they were just 'less obvious' about their racism. If that's not what you meant feel free to clarify.

But that was the one thing that all the various groups that showed up at the rally seemed to have in common--not just that they were on the right of the political spectrum, but they were all groups based on white supremacy/white nationalism. That was the common thread, the racism.

He refuses to recognize how real the danger is. Either that, or he openly embraces it. I'm not sure.

Actually it's supposed to be Ctrl-Left. As in the control left.

This is an interesting newsvideo by Elle Reeve who joined Chris Cantwell at the protests in Charlottesville to cover them for VICE.

Donald Trump seems to have more anger about mild mannered liberals than about nationalists calling for the overthrow of government carrying automatic weapons in public and killing innocent civilians?

I imagine next time they go on their "march" the army be called in as the police did nothing constructive in Charlottseville in disarming these characters or preventing them from launching attacks on individual liberal protestors after the march was over.

At least one case where a college student was set upon when he as getting into his car to go home. Should have been a warrant for the arrest of these criminals.

Nobody in the Antifa group was carrying automatic weapons

Lastly, I can't help but feel that the for-statue-removal people were the ones who started it----they were told to stay home, afterall----cuz they went down there with bats and mace, and bricks, and stuff (this was the area where guns were NOT allowed, cuz it was the Uni campus). Did they still have a right, to go down-there? SURE----but, then, the ANTI-statue-removal people had a right to protest, WITHOUT INTERFERENCE, TOO.[/b][/color]
