Imagine if they taught that the history of the world is one group overpowering another. I’m so sick of hearing “stolen land” only applied to the U.S. but native Americans fighting and conquering each other means nothing
Remember, stolen land only ever counts when it's inter-regional and starts from the last American Indian tribe to be displaced by Europeans. None of the repeated intra-regional conflict and murder between tribes ever counts, and the same "rules" are applied worldwide because somehow only white Europeans are subject to guilt and consequences, despite being the reason the developed world even exists.
Exactly. Just like slavery. It’s amazing how many young people are shocked when they learn about Africans selling slaves or about slavery being worldwide and still ongoing. I remember Thomas Sowell saying to young leftists that they should focus on helping victims of slavery and trafficking today instead of harping about slavery that ended in the 1860s
Thomas Sowell is a living genius. I've watched scores of his videos (I really should read a book too!) and saw maybe 2-3 things I've disagreed with. Mildly.
I’ve read a few of his books and like you I have very few disagreements
For someone who talks about such a vast array of topics? It's almost impossible to not disagree now and then. But the vast majority of the time he's "100% spot-on".
Agreed
I take it to mean non-Whites are incapable of such feelings. Most certainly act like they are.

Probably seen this already but damn you you’ve given me an excuse to rewatch and post it!
Such a great scene
Seems rather insurrectiony...
Treason-esque, even.
Domestic terror-y, oddly.
On the down-low, acting uppity.
I will never understand why people throw those fireworks at police or buildings. You’re going to get charged the same whether it’s a firework or Oklahoma City, either don’t do it or get your FBI buddies to help you.
(Disclaimer, don’t throw IEDs at people)
It’s a combination of two things: first, that some people are dumb, emotional, reactive, and/or violent by nature. Second, that decades of downplaying, ignoring, and excusing leftist violence have given them the not entirely incorrect impression that they can get away with a lot more in service of their politics than anyone else can. I very much hope that these immigration riots in particular and Trump’s second term in general will work towards undoing that tendency to let them slide.
Thank God leftists can't make bombs anymore. Weather Underground were the last ones to make decent bombs until one went off blowing up their Greenwich village apartment.
CRS probably working to stand down local police forces.
Your replacement is their priority
Fiery but mostly peaceful I presume?
They shouldnt be doing that, but those are literal fireworks. Fireworks are to explosions as butter knives are to bladed weapons. It is technically the case, but institutionally speaking, the extremeified version of the language is used to disempower people. Gun? Assault rifle->legislation. Butter knife? Bladed weapon->legislation. Protester? Terrorist->legislation. Critique? Hate speech->legislation. When I notice this lingual effect, I consider it to be a red flag for manipulation, and somehow it is always in the same direction, even when I get caught up in some situation and convince myself that it's not- it is.
Fireworks can and often have started fires before. It's just 1 step below a Molotov Cocktail, eh? And they throw those too (maybe not here but in The Summer OF Love they sure did) along with bottles of their diseased urine & etc.
Hey man, yeah, not gonna argue with you there, because that's my point about the system escalating the language as a method for control. A butter knife has been the weapon used in horrible acts, for instance. The categorical truth is what provides the escalation with permission. I'm not telling you it would be bad for antifa & friends to get buttfucked for blowing fireworks in doorways as explosive weapons. I'm just saying that it's always the same with the state- it doesnt select by loyalty, it selects for power. Selecting a convenient moment to establish fireworks as terroristic explosions is the same as selecting a convenient moment to characterize a butter knife as weapon of le deaf. It is the same function of influence, committed against the same body: common people as a whole.
Divide and conquer requires division. We can see this in broad concept and it seems simple, but when we are in the midst of the effect we usually make the rationalizations that we are expected to make- rendering the tactic effective
well within their rights to return fire
So everyone there and their grandma is going to jail for 10 months before they get a mock-trial right? That's the standart leftists set.
10 months? How about 20 months in solitary before even being "allowed" to see a judge? :X
But yes, that's how it ought to be from here on.
Los Angeles is such a shithole of a city. I'd rather live in the worst city part of India that that dump pile
I doubt it. People from India I know (I've met and worked with many!) ALL say nothing in Canada is as bad as parts of their homeland. Which is why they got the hell out!
