It is - and the working class can see this.
Have you noticed that, generally, communism is imposed upon the working class by the middle classes, because the working classes themselves want nothing to do with it.
Telling, isn't it?
Already Shining Path members had decimated the interior of the country, their terror sparking a brutal government response, which was characterized by a wanton disregard for the rule of law or basic human rights, and whose victims, once again, were primarily the rural and indigenous poor.
This is probably the worst thing about communists. Because they regard any shred of civilised behaviour as a weakness to exploit, they invariably draw an excessive response that harms those they claim they wish to protect.
The truth is, of course, that living workers aren't of all that much interest to any communist.
Dead ones, though ... those can be turned into martyrs, and those martyrs can be used to create even more dead workers, to be made into yet more martyrs.
That's all communists seem to know.
That is the irony. This poverty is what led to Shining Path, but then they turned on the poor. It was the poor that they were killing,
Quote from a Peruvian farmer.
It used to be said that communists didn't love the poor so much as hate the rich.
Their modern ideological descendants are even more twisted than that. They truly do seem to hate the poor for failing the ideology that seeks to appropriate their voice.
Honestly, I kinda hope we end up with a weak PM. One that will allow themselves to be pushed around by all those new Northern Tory MPs who know exactly what they need to do if they want the job longer than a single session of Parliament...
I'm not honestly sure on that point. As described, Simon is shoving Alba into bits of shop furniture. I imagine he's not being too careful about it, either, so I can easily picture somebody genuinely being worried about being smashed back into something hard enough to knock them out, at which point you're entirely dependent upon your assailant's charity.
I would be interested to see what angle they're taking here, given that Alba was being physically assaulted by Simon at the time...
The only one I can think of is some shitheel DA asserting that because Alba had a knife within reach it was premeditated or something.
I mean, I'm sure it was premeditated. No doubt at all in my mind that Alba deliberately and consciously intended to open some boxes or something along those lines. Kind of thing you use a knife for, you know?
To add to that, there's a Twitter thread by somebody who I think counts as a "nobody", or I'd have already linked it, that details quite a few off details:
- For starters, this kicked off with a single local paper and then went national in a day. Almost like national media were waiting for an example they could use and picked the very first one that presented itself. It was particularly picked up by outlets that have demographics favoured by progressives - teenagers, the ones progressives put the highest priority on indoctrinating.
- No mention of any involvement by the police in what would undeniably be a child rape. None at all.
- "Six weeks, three days" - now, this might not sound suss to someone who's not had kids, but anyone involved in pregnancy isn't ever that accurate. I'm surprised these guys didn't give date and time of conception...
There's a heap more on the Twitter thread, if I can work out the notability rules I might post it myself later on...
That wasn't an accident, though, was it.
In the UK, at least, they had teams of civil servants and psychologists working on how to terrify the population better to make sure they would receive unthinking obedience.
It's beyond contempt.
... so, just to check, it's being argued here by the progressive media that Austin Simon, as a person of colour, bears no responsibility for his enraged attack on a shop worker over a bag of crisps, and that Jose Alba, being able to see Simon's skin colour, should have deduced either low IQ or poor impulse control and let the guy's tantrum play itself out rather than defend himself, even as he's being thrown into shop fixtures.
You know, when progressive media collapses, these guys could probably get a gig writing for Stormfront...
In the US, I imagine the answer is a civil lawsuit against the state or municipality for failing in their duty of care.
I hope it will not take them long to learn that prejudicial enforcement of the law is an expensive mistake to make.
If you can't tell if you're shooting something dead or alive you may be a retard.
That's not at all the point I was making.
The police may well have been shooting at the guy because he wasn't quite dead yet - the dude still had a pulse when they went to him afterwards.
You'd be a foolish police officer indeed to fire a shot at a guy, wander up to arrest him, and get yourself shot in the face because he's not actually dead yet, wouldn't you?
... The main surprise is that this is a surprise.
Do you think Facebook wants to end up in a US court having to explain to a judge that yes, they did have a technical method that would allow them to recover relevant evidence but decided not to do it because they had an outbreak of morals?
Regards what Facebook "represented" ... they lied.
Unless it's in a signed contract with penalties for non-compliance it's empty words. These people are not your friends, do not ever mistake them for such.
