It seems like we are back to the 1960s level of race riots and we were just starting to get culture to get together and race issues were at an all time low by 2008 unless all you did was watch CNN or NBC which back then they picked minority neighborhoods and turned domestic issues into violent race rage.
But otherwise outside of that there wasn't a lot of brawls now we have buildings,courthouses,police,statues,all being burned/torn down (with hundreds of millions of damages in 2020 alone) over usually BS and online places not allowing ANY type of discussion unless it's the length of a smile tweet like ':) have a good say sir!'
Obama hurt race relations in America more than slavery ever did.
His response to the Trayvon Martin case was the precise moment I went from two-time Obama supporter to just complete and utter disillusionment.
He single-handedly undid MLK right there.
Well to be fair I was never a one time Obama supporter it was all there in his bio where he went to school,The type of people he hanged out with. It wasn't that hard to get the info you just had to turn the telly off and facebook off.
Around 2008. Facebook was more used for FarmVille than political discourse.
Actually Obama used it to heavily campaign his Presidency. It was the first time and I remember knowing he would win because of that as there were enough young socialist suckers that believed his crap.
MySpace was still heavily used then too.
Really that late into the season it was still used?
In the 2008 one it was. It wasn’t that long after the election before the site was dead. I remember there being like 100 Democrat groups vs 3 GOP
yeah, it was Obamas second term that was truly disastrous to internet overall
It feels like we were reaching a turning point and I don't know if he did it deliberately or if he really felt he was doing the correct actions based on what he was taught in Chicago Uni classes.
Remember that his mentor was Bill Ayers, one of the far leftists in the Weather Underground, a communist terrorist org from the 1960s and 1970s born out of the "Students for a Democratic Society",another far-leftist student org that rose to notoriety protesting the Vietnam War.
Those people actively want to bring down the US, one of their stated goals iirc. Read Days of Rage, it tells all about them.
They set off bombs, committed acts of terror,.all sorts of things and never saw a day behind bars. Many of them, incl. Bill Ayers, went into academia (the field of education in his case) because they understood the influence and power the people teaching the next generation of leaders and policymakers have.
It is entirely intentional.
Because it is. You have "anti-racist" movements clawing at every single racial grievance they can find trying to rip open old wounds, just so they can peddle bad solutions and justify their rent-seeking behavior.
It’s a cultural war using race as a facade.
Put this on while you lift and buckle up buttercup: https://newdiscourses.com/2021/06/biological-foundation-socialism/
Like everything else New Discourses puts out it is really freaking long but also really well researched and insightful. And it is a 4 parter so welcome to your next 10 hours of background "entertainment".
tl;dw (and even this will be long) Traditional marxism tactics can't work in the west because capitalism makes everyone's life better. So the marxists needed to figure out a way to make enough people's lives worse to create a base of cannon-fodder for their glorious revolution. The marxist intellectuals found groups that had, arguably legitimate, historical grievances and used their positions to amplify those grievances and constantly harp on them until their targets no longer had any motivation in life beyond hatred of "the system". These groups are blacks, degenerates, and women. They created a program of training "activists" in universities to go out constantly keep "issue"s (real or imaginary) of race, sex, and degeneracy at the forefront of culture so nobody could get away from it.
This goes back. There's a video from 1969 discussing this (1h,44m). At 7:40, he starts talking about plants to exploit the US's weakness (from racial history).
The answer is quite simple: The Grievance Industry.
How can people continue to make huge amounts of money by preying off the young, vulnerable, naive, desperate to do good, and insecure, if they don't have a bogeyman to chase after? In the event that there is no bogeyman, what do you think the best course of action would be if you want to continue to justify your career?
The answer is to create one.
These institutions will continue to move the goalposts and seek out new things to be "offended" over in order to continue to make money and justify their existence. The reason things seem more racist now than they did back then is because they are — and that's by design.
The entire ideology of the left is built on top of predatory behavior these days. They participate in empty didactic speeches where they present visions of an impossible utopia, but their actions consistently prove that their pretty words mean nothing and their primary concern is money and power.
What they now advocate for is Government control over people's entire lives. They weaponize the institutions of their countries to go after people who have dissenting views and represent a new brand of authoritarianism that's hidden behind a thin veil of fake virtue.
The saddest part is that there are so many who are genuinely too stupid to see what's blindingly apparent to anyone who actually pays attention to what's taking place.
We're watching the rise of a socialist/communist regime who's objectives is antithetical to everything a "free society" is built upon — all because their snobby elitist attitudes make them feel like they know best. It comes with a total lack of foresight and thinking of the future.
Sad thing is even down to small gaming forums you cannot say this or you'll be blocked by a moderator for 'trolling'.l
That's because they have no possible way to refute it. It's a cold reality that they're unwilling to accept and the only way they can think of to respond to it is by gaslighting and censoring.
It doesn't take a genius to figure this out, though. Do people think that those who participate in these grievance industry mega-corps are people who are looking to head to say, "We've done it! Mission accomplished! Now let's head to the unemployment line." Of course not — that's absurd. Whether people want to admit it or not, they are a business. Their product is whatever grievance they're fighting against, so they have a vested financial interest in seeking out any instance that helps drive donations to help fund their operation.
You'd have to be a naive mental toddler to believe otherwise. Some of these people make millions each year in salaries. Why in the hell would they simply give that up? How many people interested in such divisive topics can realistically say that they would?
Hell, we literally saw one of the BLM founders spend a huge amount of money buying four mansions within the last years. Is anyone foolish enough to think there aren't malicious con-artists out there who prey on people's goodwill for profit?
I still see people with BLM signs to this day, so yes, there are
Divided people are easier to control. Miserable people are easier to convince.
It's that simple.
Because there is a vested interest in endlessly harping on race and to fight any sort of unity.
Anti racism efforts.
There's actually a graph you can look up where Google Trends shows that the word "racism" started to explode in frequency in the media just when Occupy Wall Street was happening. There's a theory that it's all a deliberate attempt to distract from economic issues and keep factions of the lower classes fighting amongst themselves so they won't unite to stop the rich from oppressing everybody else.
Yeah, this is it. I'm really tired of people pretending it's something else. Someone with a lot of money deliberately coordinated this.
There are other factors but this is the main one.
It's simple divide and conquer.
I smell a Soros Operation.
We had a nice run of somewhat racial harmony.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions and the lefties have nothing but good intentions
What do you think caused the little bit of peace we had before the dam broke? Some claim it was the beginning of the Age of Aquarius whatever that means and we were on a new path which people who didn't go along with it would be wiped from existence.
Central bankers
It is the normal evolution of a multiracial society. You thought things were OK back in the 2008 but you were still living in the back of an overwhelming White society. Nowadays the demographic transition is way more advanced so you are seeing the expected cracks in the fabric of society.
Manufactured, not advanced.
Too fracture. Too many differences and no more "nationalism".
Because it is worse. We had it made in the 90s and 00s, but grifters realized they could profit off of racial tension.
Along with that comes the spectacle of some young black people who are determined to think that the year is 1800 and they are oppressed. But I guess you can blame the brainwashing in public schools and media
Black on white crime is fucking out of control.
Yet on most forums any mention of it is mute.
Media is selling a lie that america is racist :
https://twitter.com/zachg932/status/1411159115548725248?s=21
Yet most forums and blogs believe in it FULLY with the train throttle wide open at maximum notch. The right wing people often try to keep up but instead they open the throttle too soon and get what's called wheel spin.............Much like the British trains 'Wrong kind of sun' 'Wrong kind of leaves' stops the trains.
Distraction from the global financial crisis and occupy wall street. Great distraction from the corporate take over of America.
Chyna is the blueprint, few elite at the top everyone else will be monitored and controlled from what they do to how they think. Whatever you see happening there is coming to the western world in one way or another.
Racism is normalizing. It was suppressed by indoctrination, propaganda and wealth. Now that resources seem to become scarce, racism will flow normally.
24/7 news coverage
because Obamas administration subverted wallstreet financial crisis into racial issues
Racial diversity always, ALWAYS leads to trouble. The races are different and cannot live together, the societal breakdown ramps up the more diverse you get and we have gotten far more diverse in 2008. Too many conflicting viewpoints, in too great numbers now. No going back to being oblivious, especially now that they've learned how to really leverage grievance and the powers that be think they have the destruction of the west in the bag. They're too bold and think they can control it but can't. It will get more and more out of hand as people sense collapse coming and try to grab for what gibs they can before there's none left.
Why did liberals keep pushing it as a 'Good thing' since the early 90s? They seemed to have made no mention of the possible problems with it and we could 'overcome anything! We've EVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEED!'.
Obama.
