When asked specifically about his other posts that consisted of racist, Islamophobic, and anti-Semitic language and imagery, he answered, "I love people of all races, creeds and origins.

Idk I think it's pretty funny that the alpha alpha alpha online Nazis who tell it like it is fold like a cheap suit the instant they comprehend the possibility that their friends and family would find out.

I think my broader point is that no matter how terrible the US is, there are always states waiting in the wings to be worse. We're better off trying to revolt and/or reform than waiting for the tender mercies of some other more competently unscrupulous state.

This is key. No one would have given a hoot about this post likely, until Trump got involved and blew it up. The guy called for violence. That is a pretty big deal depending on who it is aimed to and how clearly, and he was aware that the social atmosphere for journalists is really precarious right now. If it turned out he was Muslim or had a non-white sounding name, I guarantee this would have turned out differently.

Well, he couldn't possibly have known he was going to be endorsed by Trump. To me that's the key aspect of this issue and why CNN's doxxing him rubs me the wrong way.

All he did was create some dumb meme, then woke up the next morning and he was famous. Sure he is a racist piece of poo poo, but everyone has a right to use the Internet anonymously IMO.

Is there anything in Mike Flynn's past that indicates he has a very pro Russia viewpoint? Like everyone knows about the RT dinner with Putin from a few years ago. But before that did he make any speeches or have interactions with Russians that would point to him being basically a shill for Putin? Is he known to be very far right? Those types seem to be down with Russia these days.

Flippancy aside (and this may be a few hours late) I absolutely 100% agree. There aren't really any other, better potential hegemons waiting to step up. The only two with an interest are worse.

We can always dream of a functional proper UN. It actually works pretty well for what it is, but if nothing else (and there's a lot else) it's explicitly second fiddle to the world powers (plus Britain :v: ) on the permanent Security Council.

My biggest problem with the whole thing is CNN doing the deed. Publicly shaming internet Nazis is A OK just not so sure I'm ok with a media conglomerate like CNN doing it. Mostly because it'll give Hannity a reason to harass his interns into doxxing liberals.
