Mister Bates posted:Yeah, there's a reason a lot of lefties stopped identifying as communists during that timeframe, particularly in the US. CPUSA went from being vocally anti-Hitler at the beginning of the Spanish war to vocally pro-peace once the word came down from the Russians to knock it off, then immediately back to being loudly anti-Hitler after Barbarossa. They also went from talking about a united popular front of all left ideologies at the beginning of the Spanish war, to calling Trotskyists and other non-Stalinist socialists subhuman rats deserving of mass extermination when the Soviets started purging Spanish revolutionaries, to talking about the united popular front again when WW2 kicked off. Every time they made an about-face like that, they kicked out anyone who raised too much of a stink about it, which means that they kicked out everyone who was vocally anti-war, then everyone who was vocally anti-fascist, then everyone who was vocally anti-war again; at about the same time, they first kicked out everyone who was too sectarian, then everyone who was insufficiently sectarian, then everyone who was too sectarian again. CPUSA sounds a lot like Freep.

Something just occurred to me regarding LOLpork jokes about Muslims: Did the Nazis or other antisemitic movements make similar jokes about Jews? If not, I'm guessing the whole meme complex can be traced back to that story about the British empire and beef tallow/lard cartriges.

I have yet to see American Sniper, but what I've heard so far is that the movie itself is very good (despite his views, Eastwood is a pretty good filmmaker), but it paints a very different view of the sniper Chris Kyle. Chris Kyle loved to kill, and wrote about it as such and certainly loved "killing browns." I think the subject matter is one worth covering, but there's definitely different angles you can take to it. Perhaps Kyle could have been using the killing as a way to cope with his PTSD, or that he made the most of the terrible situation that he was in. Either way, I read a spoiler on the epilogue of the movie, and it really tries to reprise the history with rose-colored glasses on.

Either way, I read a spoiler on the epilogue of the movie, and it really tries to reprise the history with rose-colored glasses on. From the reviews I've seen (The Inlander) people have not criticized the movie for what it is or Bradley Cooper's portrayal but the source material for beatifying a horrible just worlder who loved to kill 'the browns'. Reviewers liked Eastwood's attempt to tell a story about a soldier dealing with PTSD in the 21st Century. Most of this gets disregarded, however, because people don't blame the stress of service, they blame browns/Muslims/arabs/not whites for all his troubles and then you get the poo poo posted above about people wanting to kill an arab. It's times like these that I wish all liberals would do the same poo poo that conservatives do to highlight the hypocrisy in blaming people based only on their ethnicity or religion. If black people started posting that they 'can't wait to bust some honky skulls' after seeing Selma, white people in power would be up in arms trying to root out these dangers to the community.

The AK-47 is strongly associated with revolutionary movements as well. There are a lot of right wing nut cases that are calling for a second revolution or are viewing themselves as plucky underdog revolutionaries just fighting for what they believe is right. I think the association with rebellion is much stronger than the association with radical Islam. There are also like 100,000,000 AKs in existence currently so they get associated with a lot of things. My guess, however, is that he's one of the "defending ARE FREEDUMZ FROM OBLAMMO!!!!" types.

I work night shift at a gas station and sometimes I get to witness lovely e mail forwards come to life. Last night this couple came in and bought some juice with their EBT. When I got done ringing them up they told me that they'd overheard some one saying that the state was going to put $20 on their card in celebration of Martin Luther King Jr Day and asked me if it was true. I didn't have the heart to tell them that the dude who said that was probably making a dumb racist joke.

A Facebook post came in...quote:Lol--- i just heard that schools require permission slips to be signed to watch a movie with killing! However they hang rainbows and preach homosexuality is good and encourage it. Sickening. Murder and killing is normal, homosexuality is not  How do people live with that kind of hosed up viewpoint? I'd be exhausted if I were that upset about other people's sexual orientation.

To be fair Humans have spent as long killing each other as they have spent being homosexual. Conflict and Sex could reasonably be said to be two of the most basic instincts of any living being alongside Food and Shelter (which are themselves a means by which additional Sex and advantages in Conflict can be achieved.) That said kind of the point of free will and intelligence is the ability to choose not to act like an animal soooo...

What is supposed to happen is homosexuals aren't supposed to exist at all. That is what is supposed to happen; homosexual people are supposed to just stop being homosexuals. (If this sounds completely insane to you, congratulations! You are a well adjusted and sane human being.)

How many gay kids are going to have to kill themselves because they're being bullied and don't feel like they have some form of acceptance? You're supposed to tell them that what they're doing is wrong in the eyes of God and they must repent and ask Jesus to forgive them and maybe go through conversion therapy to make them straight (which the EVIL BIG GOVERNMENT is outlawing because they hate God!). They often like to substitute a crime or harmful action for "gay" to try and push that. "What if your friend came out as a murderer? Would you say that even though you don't personally murder, that you accept his lifestyle and will support his right to live as a murderer? Would you fight to outlaw programs and systems that would get rid of his desire to murder?" Because as was said before, to these kinds of people, "sin is sin" and thus they think it's perfectly valid to compare being gay to murder since "they're both sins." It's the same reason why they can claim that same-sex marriage will lead to pedophilia and bestiality being legalized. In their minds, all these things are sins, so if you legalize one, there's no reason not to legalize others on the same logic. The fact that one of these things involves consenting adults and the other two don't never even crosses their mind, because they just don't recognize consent as meaningful in that way. It's just "sin" or "not sin." This is additionally why a lot of them don't think that rape of a spouse is possible.
