Your media is so bad the nazis can kill a woman and two weeks later a few chuds get beat up and all of a sudden it's BOTH SIDES.

I honestly had hope in the American people that Cville would be a turning point. Holy poo poo am I naive.

2016 was the major breaking point between the media and the public imo

nobody gives a poo poo about cable news and their ratings are cratering with everyone younger than 50. you shouldn't care about it either

A century-old ideological movement, Liberalism: once devoted to impossible causes like ending racism and inequality, empowering the powerless, fighting against militarism, and all that silly hippie poo poo—now it’s been reduced to besting the other side at one-liners…and to the Liberals’ credit, they’re clearly on top. Sure there are a lot of problems out there, a lot of pressing needs—but the main thing is, the Liberals don’t look nearly as stupid as the other guys do. And if you don’t know how important that is to this generation, then you won’t understand what’s so wrong and so deeply depressing about the Jon Stewart Rally to Restore Sanity.

It was more about both sides coming together and compromising but was really just a liberal toss-off over how reasonable they are.

It's not just cable news. Washington Post, the New York Times, and most establishment news media are playing this 'both sides' game.

And yes 2016 was a major breaking point between the media and the public, so far it has really benefited the Right-Wing.

Yeah, I remember reading Mark Ames' piece on it, but his implication that it was more to do with just mocking conservatives, rather than actively condemning leftist actions? Which I guess was obviously going to be the logical conclusion of this kind of liberalism.

There's someone on the chans who claims to have a source inside Spencer's NPI. Here's the scuttlebutt:

+ They want to do a lawsuit re: Charlottesville but sounds like it's not going to happen.

+ Jason Kessler has been thrown under the bus totally.

+ NPI doesn't like banner drops and solo flyer-pasting (like on college campuses).

+ Identity Evropa is a NPI proxy organization, and thus under less FBI scrutiny compared to other groups (I'm assuming Vanguard America is under high scrutiny).

+ Rallies in Florida and Texas are pretty much out. Eyes for the next rally are in the Pacific Northwest / Oregon, with potential collaborators True Cascadia & Atomwaffen Division. Might be a quick thing where they move in, do the rally and bail fast like U.K.'s National Action.

Kinda getting the sense that they want to do rallies but they don't want to be confronted. Prefer the propaganda war.

i can believe those tactics are intentonal theyve been pretty "successful" at having rallies in portland that they announce at like 3pm on a friday

by successful i mean that they show up and are only opposed by a crowd of equal size rather than overwhelming force

the good news is that theyve lost their police protection in portland

Previously unreported documents disclose that by April 2016, authorities believed that “anarchist extremists” were the primary instigators of violence at public rallies against a range of targets. They were blamed by authorities for attacks on the police, government and political institutions, along with symbols of “the capitalist system,” racism, social injustice and fascism, according to a confidential 2016 joint intelligence assessment by DHS and the FBI.

Been a great week for Liberals and Moderates.
