Sorry about your dad, fucking cancer. Agree with everything else :)

Oklahoma is damn near a lost cause -

Now someone just has to take a jackhammer to the pedestal and chisel those words off.

Nice. It’s a start?

I only saw this after making a similar comment about Rommel.

I’d understand if they were in a museum or a memorial that didn’t celebrate them, rather, a “don’t let this happen again” memorial like the Holocaust memorials.

Maybe these will go away faster if we start referring to them as “Civil War Participation Trophies.”

I wish I could set the Spencer punch as an animated looping desktop image.

The only thing I can say about the Spencer beat down, is that I wish it was a clean shot to the face rather than a sucker punch to the ear.

I’m kind of interested in hearing what he has to say now and if he learned anything from the shit storm he is partially responsible for. A good and reasonable person would call for peace and change their tune. Interested in hearing if this moron can do that too.

I could watch Richard Spencer get punched every day, and it still wouldn’t be enough.

I’d add Paul Ryan to that but otherwise, top notch choices.

And those torches, they aren’t blunt. They actually have a pointed edge to make it easier to get them into the ground. So yeah, even unlit they should be considered a weapon and wholly inappropriate at a protest of any kind. 

You’re probably right. They could’ve handled it better—they should’ve done more to get extra support. I just don’t think you’re gonna win in court if you sue on those grounds.

Ferguson is a suburb of St. Louis. Charlottesville isn’t a suburb of a larger city. Obviously there’s a discrepancy in the responses at these two incidents—and that’s most likely because Ferguson’s reaction was insanely over the top and based solely on racism. Maybe Charlottesville’s reaction was biased—or maybe the…

Even without weapons the Nazis hope their demonstrations incite violence so they can take advantage of their privilege and blame the other side when shit goes down.  There is no such thing as neo Nazi “peaceful protest”. This isn’t about free speech.

No, it did not start a year ago. Antifa is a left wing anarchist tradition going back decades, along with specific groups like Anti-Racist Action. Been calling spade a spade and meeting fascists in the street while US liberals were more comfortable pretending white supremacists no longer existed. It’s only in the last…

It’s an old term, chosen by the antifa themselves, for groups opposed to fascism. It dates back to German antifa fighters, thus the weird intonation. It’s not an insult, and lots of antifa wear it proudly and want to tap into that history.

Antifascism was the countermovement to militant populist nationalism (what we think of as nazism), which was born as fascismo in Italy in the 1920's under Mussolini. The Antifa movement was largely comprised of folks with the belief that fascism has its roots in capitalism — that it is, indeed, capitalism’s…

I used to be against doxxing. Now I am starting to come around. See a Nazi, dox a Nazi.
