tbh I don't know what the counter-protesters will be like, but I'm guessing a lot of ordinary people holding hands. Which is what it should be.

quote:

Charlottesville city officials announced yesterday that Saturday’s “Unite the Right” rally must be relocated from Emancipation Park (renamed from Lee Park) to McIntire Park over concerns about public safety in order to obtain a demonstration permit.

Responsibility for the late change rests solely at the feet of Jason Kessler, the event’s primary organizer, who failed to accurately disclose the number of attendees expected at the rally, despite months of zealous recruitment and non-stop advertisement from dozens of the far-right’s most prominent leaders.

As of this morning, 675 people indicate that they will attend on Facebook, with more than 1,000 more interested in the event. Given the level of coordination among the event’s organizers, a much larger crowd is expected.

A large contingent of counter-protestors is also expected to be present.

“Government has no more central role than protecting life and property,” Mayor Mike Signer said at a press conference Monday. “Given the sheer numbers projected, the city manager is right to conclude that this event is incompatible with the dense and urban location of Emancipation Park.”

Nonetheless, in a live stream via Periscope following the press conference yesterday afternoon, Kessler told his devotees, “There is no way we’re going to move that demonstration out of Lee Park.”

“[The Robert E. Lee Statue in Emancipation Park] is the first and foremost reason that we’re having this rally, is for that park and for that statue. It’s about white genocide. It’s about the replacement of our people, culturally and ethnically. And that statue is the focal point of everything.”

Kessler goes on to claim that the city canceled the permit because attendance at the rally is expected to surpass 1,000 people, despite a permit application claiming 400. This indicates that Kessler may have known for some time, given the fervor and enthusiasm on social media, that the rally’s future could be jeopardized due to his planning failures.

After the press conference, Kessler indicated that he plans to sue the city of Charlottesville, but he may have a tough case to make.

Also there's some issue with the rally location:

Emancipation Park is pretty small and is adjacent to the city's historic downtown. The new location is on the north side of the city, is much larger and also seems more easily contained.

Oh my god, if it's like any other facebook event maybe 50 to 100 people will actually show up

Organizers of the Unite the Right rally are spending a lot of effort trying to convince people not to bring guns. Also there's fighting over whether women should be allowed.

Also they're warning their people not to attack the 1,000 or so clergymembers who are showing up to protest against them. Well at least they've got their priorities.

It's a basic logical fallacy: If all X are Y, it's not necessarily true that all Y are X. They completely ignore the ongoing systems of inequality that Diversity & Inclusiveness groups work to correct. And as it turns out, treating people differently based on their race or gender or some other feature can either be racist, antiracist, or something else entirely depending on what that treatment actually is.

well yes, but they believe cultural & systemic inequalities, and that women, black people, muslims, etc are "simply like that"

trying to argue that systemic issues exist will actually immediately trigger veteran frog people. i know this from experience.

I know the Fallout/Elder Scrolls derail is over, but I just wanted to point out it's hilarious that in both New Vegas and Skyrim the nominal good faction are incredibly inept and can't articulate why they should be supported by the player, but they still expect to be treated as the Heroes.

New Vegas goes out of its way to show that the NCR aren't "good guys" at all, and are only interested in the Mojave insofar as they can exploit it in the interests of landlords and cattle barons back home. They only insist that they're good, and genuinely believe it, because they're blinded by their own liberal ideology. The central conflict of New Vegas is a power contest between modern and reactionary imperialisms.

On a more extreme example, I just had a coworker at a fast-food place get fired for melting down at a trans customer after already being a really lovely worker. She will remember this as those drat liberals firing me for my religious beliefs and not getting fired for being so grossly incompetent as to insult a customer and get lovely at coworkers.

By firing him, they proved him right. They reinforced the narrative he has in his head as a victimized protagonist of free speech.

dude created an enormous PR disaster by screaming about ~biotruths~ and insulting his coworkers by questing their ability to do computer jobs due to their boobs & vaginas. google really had no other choice but to fire him.
