Why on Earth is Trump mentioned but not Obama? As of this moment, Trump is a private citizen; Obama is President and could revoke the pipelines’ permit immediately. Instead Obama said he wanted to wait and see this played out about a month ago and has been silent since. If this pipeline isn’t shipping oil by Jan 1…

If the law were equally applied, that treaty would still apply and this would be Sioux land.

This is a good reminder that even under one of the most liberal presidents of all time (how he is percieved anyway. Maybe someone else was actually more liberal) the system is still FUCKED.

I blame the protesters for not being born heavily armed white men.

Remember folks. The Army is here to defend our freedom! Provided we keep it in proper designated areas.

Difference being that one was a puppet installed by an imperialist superpower and one was not. One can acknowledge Castro’s oppression of dissent while also finding it ridiculous that Americans still somehow think they have moral authority to condemn him on human rights. This attitude is simply preposterous.

That Kaepernick article really falls apart at the end. The writer’s experience leaving Cuba was clearly terrible and extremely relevant, but the way he tries to brush off the US’ mass incarceration problem lacks as much nuance as Kap’s argument. As if families are only broken up in the US when the crime is murder.

Ahem: go fuck yourself

You know racism’s gotten bad when male cheerleaders think they have the right to make fun of anyone else.

Did everyone just ignore the fact that Forrest Gump was at another white house event?

Oh so Jordan is running for President in 8 years now that Obama roasted him?

So are you confirming or denying that you use spells to control the media?

Web Nazis?

Came here to say this. Let’s call them what they are.

The alt-right are triggered young white males. They need a safe space to sort through their feelings. Also the alt-right are neo-nazis.

Looking at the swastikas my theory its some preteen kid trying to be edgy. I still think this was a the correct response. Zero tolerance. You either mean it or you’re a troll. It’s the damn trolls that got us into this mess in the first place so zero tolerance to both.

they shouldn’t be dealt with differently. each example of hate, whatever it’s motivation, should be critically examined by the community, questioned and challenged. this kind of antisocial harmful behaviour should never be ignored or excused, whatever the pathology behind it.

This is a great point. The way to make sure that fascism isn’t normalized is to just let expressions of fascism exist without critical comment.

“The ability to differentiate between genuine hate and just trolling assholes”

For many years, we on the left tried to change the language people used. We didn’t say “colored people,” but “people of color.” We didn’t say “homosexual,” but “gay.” We didn’t say, “Oriental,” but “Asian,” etc. etc. etc.
