quote:

communism (or more accurately marxism) hides itself perfectly in the liberalism of university campuses, and it's pretty easy to fall into it. We understand the liberal core values to be: liberty, equality, rights, and consent. But marxists believe that these values, by themselves, are insufficient because they leave out a central tenet of marxist ideology: the belief that people, when left to their own devices, will invariably form groups and classes, and that inevitably these groups and classes will oppress or exploit one another.

It's a very attractive idea. Virtually in every society there have been those who have been or have reason to believe that they have been oppressed or exploited. In essence, every struggle is susceptible to a marxist interpretation. What does that mean? Well, in a system of constant oppression, one is hardly unjustified in responding to such oppression with outrage and violence. And that's what marxism promises - constant oppression. It is therefore not surprising that those who are troubled by such apparent or perceived oppression frequently find themselves at home among marxists.

This idea is not a liberal principle, though marxists do a good job of making it seem like it is. In the end, students are the ones who are most susceptible to falling into this idea because: 1. They're young and idealistic; 2. They most likely have liberal values; 3. Universities unwittingly propagate this idea by encouraging a "you against the world" mentality amongst its students, though I doubt this was the intended outcome.

"What a lot of people don't realize about the Union Army is that they were fighting in the American Civil War. A war which was literally being fought in order to support and preserve the right to hold slaves. The Union army was a part of that conflict. Villains!"

Like Sartre said:

quote:

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Bigotry isn't a belief system. It's a hobby, a form of escapism and leisure. The Klan started dressing up as 'ghosts' as a joke as they terrorised and murdered black people.

The KKK robes are so obviously purposed to maximize dehumanization of its members. With their faces covered, each member just a uniform in the crowd, each person can rationalize their participation in inhuman act. They are merely members of the group, individual acts unattributable to the people you see in church on Sunday. This is the main purpose of a uniform, just like those cops wearing riot gear

they own (rear end in a top hat who beats women)/are negotiating to own (he's no engles but he's also no lowtax and the latter is what we asked for) this forum and are inevitably the majority of those with the time and inclination in general to be mods, especially as their numbers are mercilessly thinned by capital, which knows no loyalty and acknowledges no human master, but makes even kings dance to its blind unthinking whims

woe unto they who believe they own capital; capital owns them, not merely in body as it does us all, but in mind and soul

i'm not sure what the rate of radicalization is, probably closely tied to income source tbh.

They didn't start wearing the robes until after Birth of a Nation made them up and the real Klan decided they looked cool. A few lynchings were done in Carnival masquerade and poo poo, mostly they were just dressed normal, sometimes everyone in town would dress up in their fancy Sunday clothes and go watch a guy get murdered.
