they defend nazis, sold out the labor movement that created it, embraces the shittiest neoliberal ideas, provides a convenient libertarian host body for more nazis to infect etc. im in a rush and cant cite properly etc. right now

compare and contrast with smaller but much better organizations such as the national lawyers guild

https://www.nlg.org/nlg-mobilizes-legal-support-ahead-of-unite-the-right-counter-protests/

see their statement on providing support to only counterprotesters in c-ville: "As an anti-racist, anti-oppressive organization, the NLG categorically refuses to provide legal support to white supremacists."

The ACLU also received money from tobacco companies in the 90s, which did end up impacting the way they conducted tobacco-related cases.

They take on just enough civil rights cases to give the impression of being a principled liberal organization, while maintaining a bias in favor of corporate power.

you'd think that after a jewish lawyer defends the rights of nazis to march through a town with a large concentration of holocaust survivors they'd rethink their "kill all jews" policy

from what i've seen this only makes them angrier

This must really be a dream for him. All his pretensions of being a radical freedom fighter are enabled by no less than the ACLU.

If Milo really needed legal counsel, he has all of that Mercer money behind him. There was no good reason whatsoever for the ACLU to take this on.

the thing is, the aclu already had plenty of non-white supremacist test cases lined up for this particular battle, they didn't have to elevate and empower milo.

i'm still cool with having donated to them for the cause they were supporting at the time

just because they touch the poop on other things doesn't mean they weren't simultaneously probably doing the most good in that situation afaik

As a person in the military let me say that is just a loud speaker.



The LRAD looks very different and is used by civilian cops.

Also, that's just the parking lot at a national guard armory. Every armory, in every town in America has that stuff parked there. :downs:
