  Reggie Stration is my right wing uncle. Vic Tory is his off the deep end crazy racist son. Who is currently teaching in China. And is what those Chinese kids are going to think all Americans are like. I loving hate extended family. All the Mike Brown stuff really brought out the virulent racism in him.

This lovely little number has been going around. Of course it ignores that in both cases it wasn't  ASSASSINATED COPS DUE TO POLICE UNDER SIEGE! but the usual, "officer shot in line of duty by mentally unstable individual and individual who did not want to go to horrible US prison".

Family can be pretty sweet when it's not all about political bitching. I suppose I was lucky. My dad just kept ranting on about cops in ways that summarize to"gently caress the police."

I would say that the Holocaust didn't start with huge sweeping measures made by Nazis, but crept in slowly as a result of public apathy and underlying cultural dislike of undesirables. It's really hard to go from zero to concentration camps without some form of public/international outcry. I do like the Rosa Parks comment, but I could see the person doing a, "See!? Liberals are the real racists!" schtick.

Although legal discrimination and violent behaviour against Jews underwent 'gradual' (we're talking <10 years) buildup to begin with, things switched from that to industrial slaughter very quickly. Jewish people felt an immediate step-change in their treatment as soon as Hitler came to power. International outcry was not a factor in the Holocaust - there was a war on when mass killing started. Moreover, you try public outcry against a policy in a totalitarian state and see how it works out. You just wind up on the same trains. You're also underestimating the level of anti-semitism that was floating around in Europe pre-Nazis, it seems to me.

Hey, the other comment is real and I find the civil rights opinion of "well why do gay people even want to go where they're not wanted anyway" to be impossibly silly and hilarious all on it's own. And people like Marge do exist. One of my friends who still lives in Oklahoma posts Oklahoma updates:    oklahoma.jpg And you wonder how I'm so skilled at parodying dumb racist arguments

Where does drone striking a wedding appear on the use of force continuum? I'm not gonna argue anything about ferguson because the cops straight hosed up, but i'm not for a second gonna believe our military was anything but brutal 100% of the time to civilians in iraq and afghanistan.

Posting fake bigoted opinions on Facebook seems super scary specifically because people seem bad at separating the real from the fake. I don't think I'd be able to explain to one of my co-workers (or christ, a future employer or newly added friend) that I was just being ironic when I said that Hitler didn't go far enough or whatever.

Leelaah Alcorn, a transgender teen was killed (likely suicide) from getting hit by a tractor-trailer. She left a note saying his death needs to mean something. Naturally: If there's anything I've learned from 2014, it's that white, middle-class America is okay with you protesting, provided you are quiet and non-disruptive about it, because your cause isn't as important as me getting my groceries. Essentially: quote:"First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."

Nah, anyone who sees what I wrote and assumes that just because different people shop and different stores that one of those groups has to be inferior sounds like they actually have some issues with bigotry and paternalism themselves. What's wrong with the back of the bus, liberals? Just because a place has black people in it, that doesn't automatically make it bad. Only a bigot would imply that, so as long as my coworkers aren't bigots, no problem. Wait. poo poo. What is happening to me?

Nobody needs to explode to make a point, just choosing death and leaving a note is pretty heavy on its own. Leelaah clearly wasn't in a good state of mind, but that method of suicide is for assholes.

And people are wondering why people aren't protesting the latter. It's like standing outside of the prison where the cop killer is serving his sentence and chanting,  :"What do we want?" :"JUSTICE!":"When do we want it?":"NOW!"Motherfucking goddamn

And of course white Americans are way too complacent toward fixes and progress for anyone's good in this country. I don't know if you've ever been suicidal but people seriously contemplating suicide often spend a lot of time thinking about how they want to do it, and if they're really serious they might gravitate towards methods that are 1) guaranteed to be fatal, 2) easy to achieve, logistically, and 3) sudden, or at least fast enough so that it's impossible to back out of it at the last minute. Yeah sure stepping in front of traffic sucks because it forces other people to witness your death but it meets all three criteria so it's not like the decision was made from a "gently caress yeah these people are gonna have to see it" rationale.

I intentionally left a few details out, especially the historic antisemitism in European history; but my point still stands about the gradual change of public attitude and its applicability to the conversation he was having. If nothing else, it just shows that Nazi Germany and the Holocaust is a complicated, nuanced bit of history that has very few analogues with other, more recent events.

Of course it ignores that in both cases it wasn't "As far as we know, the killings were not related to Ferguson race-rioters, but the stories are still developing." Now that's journalism. Draw a connection, wait for it to be cemented in readers' minds, then quietly let it slip under the waves of public discourse. I wonder what it felt like to write the descriptions of those crimes out, and every keystroke making it more obvious they were normal police/suspect altercations with no bearing on the larger theme of the article. And then, sort of ending it, and publishing it. Must have felt like getting paid.
