What a pathetic shit show, it's a shame people had to die because of that. David Duke is a complete idiot if he voted for Trump indeed, because Trump has nothing to do with his agenda. The Donald is neither a Nazi nor a Confederalist, and he's also not an anti-Semite. He's much more like a Yankee capitalist with a folkish rhetoric actually.

The media is taking up a predictable stance. Why should cops whom the Antifa murdered with assault rifles and who support Trump side with anything other than pro-American, Nationalist protesters? They're in no danger from them.

Like I promised, care packages. Polarization will continue to increase until scenes like this become common place. Civil War 2.0 will be short and bloody. But it will be in some external actors interest to prolong it.

Hysterical doom saying, predictable chicken-little apologetics from Igor and the alt right. No doubt Alex Jones knows it was Delta Force counter intelligence operation involving unapologetic white supremacist Richard Spencer etc.

Yet another sad Carmageddon style incident. Totally meaningless violence against a backdrop of random terrorism, neo nazis, barbarism and anarchy. The presidents statement was pathetic and pointless. Locked and loaded. Fire and fury.

For Media, Driving Into a Crowd of Protesters Is a ‘Clash’
The Washington Post, Boston Globe, AOL News, The Hill, BBC and Sky News UK all chose to frame the ramming of a car into anti-fascist protesters as “clashes.”

The BBC’s breaking news tweet, “One dead amid clashes between US white nationalists and counter-protesters in Charlottesville,” is an extremely odd way to describe a person driving a car into a crowd of anti-fascist protesters—as was AOL’s “1 Dead, 34 Injured in Clashes at Virginia Rally.”

The term “clashes”—as FAIR (10/14/15) has noted before—is a term designed to obscure blame, presenting a picture of two equal sides engaging in violent activities. Reading “one dead” after “clashes” at a white nationalist rally gives us no idea who died, or who did the killing.

(Alternatively, one can veil responsibility by attributing agency to an inanimate object and disembodied emotions, as with the New York Times‘ headline, “Car Plows Into Crowd as Racial Tensions Boil Over in Virginia.”)

There are times when things can be ambiguous, but after a person the police say “premeditatedly” rammed into a crowd of anti-racist protesters with a car, it’s fairly clear the anti-racist protesters aren’t to blame for the death. But one would hardly know this, reading these “clashes” framings.

Most of these articles would mention in the text (or later change the headline after social media backlash) to make it clear it was the anti-fascist protesters who were mowed down, but the initial instinct to obscure who did what to whom speaks to the pathological fear of placing blame on the far right.

Kaiserschmarrn wrote:Since comparison with other terrorism always comes up, one difference is that you'll generally not find any right wing publication or person that will turn the perpetrator into a victim who was alienated and somehow made to commit an atrocity by society.


Well, it would be a hard sell to argue that the average alt-right or far right supporter (if that is who the perpetrator of this crime is) is somehow oppressed or marginalised in any way similar to a Muslim criminal doing the same in Europe. The causes and significant factors in this case will be different.

In both cases, the actual causes and significant factors will be varied, complicated, and intertwined in some counter-intuitive manner. So, when the progressive only discusses racism, or the communist only discusses class, or the Islamophobes only discuss Islam, they are simplifying something that is far more complicated.

There is a small sub-group on the right which are extremists or will sympathise with extremists, yet the vast majority will not only not sympathise with this person, but will treat him as what he is: a vile murderer and not a victim.


Of course.

Do the old and worn out buzzwords, like "Nazis", "Racists", "KKK" and so on still impress anybody?
The libtards will end calling the majority of still predominantly white countries "bad guys", but will this stop the resistance of whites, who are fighting for their survival?
I think that the process is unstoppable, like Gorbachev once said "процесс пошел".
Even if they manage to introduce commie-like censorship and repressions in all still white countries, this will only accelerate the process.

Mu-Cu-countries are not viable, unless there is a segregation of different groups. The other option is civil war.

Gorbachev admitted that the Soviet Union collapsed due to the growing nationalism, and this process was started by the silly attempts of the Communist Party to promote in the Soviet media race mixing and eradication of historical monuments, that were "sacred zones" for different ethnic groups.

What was the tactics of Commies in the stagnating Soviet Union?
They just called all nationalists "Nazis" and "Racists", they became more repressive, but this did not stop the process, this was like gasoline on a budding fire.

Zio-Leftists never learn from history, and now they become hysterical, because they cannot understand what is happening. They ignore the laws of nature and become hysterical when their ideological bubble is destroyed.

It's possible that the helicopter crashed because of a drone flown by nazis. They are looking for a guy who was wearing some kind of drone carrying backpack, and he was wearing one of those nazi helmets.

Just fucking lol if the Unite the Right march ends up getting them branded as cop kiling domestic terrorists.

President Donald Trump is facing criticism for his response to the violence at a white supremacist rally.
A woman was killed and 19 people injured when a car ploughed into a crowd of counter-protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Mr Trump condemned violence by "many sides" - but stopped short of explicitly condemning the far-right.
Republican Senator Cory Gardner said "Mr. President - we must call evil by its name."
He added: "These were white supremacists and this was domestic terrorism."
His comments were echoed by senior Republican figures.
Hundreds of white nationalists converged for Saturday's "Unite the Right" march, called to protest against the removal of a statue of a Southern civil war hero.
The far-right demonstrators, who included neo-Nazis and Ku Klux Klan members, clashed with counter-protesters. People punched and kicked each other, and pepper spray, used by both sides, filled the air.
As the rally was dispersed, a car was driven into a crowd of counter-protesters, the force of the crash flinging people into the air.
Twenty-year-old James Fields from Ohio, the alleged driver, is in detention on suspicion of second-degree murder and the FBI has opened a civil rights investigation.
Apart from the car-ramming incident, Charlottesville police said at least 15 were wounded in other violence related to the far-right march.
The governor of Virginia, Terry McAuliffe, said that his only message for the white supremacists who had come to Charlottesville was "Go home".

OK so here's the current list of things Trump will condemn:

  • Babies
  • Soldiers
  • Mexicans
  • Walls that aren't transparent
  • The media
  • His own party
  • His Attorney General

Things Trump won't condemn:

  • Putin & Russia
  • Nazis

I know Trump is a fifth dimensional genius playing ∞^∞ chess and that his brilliance is just a given, and readily apparent to all who gaze upon his majestic hair. There is a totally smart reason he is not saying things like "Nazis are bad" and "Please don't sieg heil me."
#14832544
SO, you are being completely unfair. Trump hates many more things than that. Everything that won't kiss his ass with every 30 minutes interval in fact.

As for the upstanding gentlemen that has put Charlottesville on the world map, they are naturally misunderstood and misrepresented. These dedicated private citizens that contribute so much to their society such as.... there must be something.... almost got it.....

Cannon fodder? :eh:
