The Sin of Onan: Oct 11, 2012; And below,
watched by eyes of steel

Captain_Maclaine posted:

Yeah, the salute that first the Italian fascists then Nazis adopted comes from romantic art of the 18th century, most citing "Oath of the Horatii" as the first appearance of it. Written material and art from the actual Roman period make no mention of any sort of salute or gesture that would resemble the modern day arm-out sieg heil, at least as far as I can remember.

The fascist salute was broadly based, I believe, on the adlocutio, the gesture that a victorious general would use when addressing his soldiers (and possibly that the soldiers would give in return to their leader, although we're not certain of that). Here's the Augustus of Prima Porta doing one:

If it was based on the adlocutio, though, they exaggerated it rather beyond recognition - a good thing, as far as I'm concerned, since adlocutio has a lot of fascinating cultural significance in the Empire and Late Antiquity, and it's good to be able to discuss them without feeling like you're talking about something tainted. We can't say the same about everything from the Roman Empire, unfortunately

I've never been convinced that the fascists who created their stiff-armed salute were well-enough versed in Roman cultural practices to know about the adlocutio, whereas I do know that many of them were fans of neoclassical and romantic artwork, where you see a much closer version of the salute presented a being something authentically Roman.

In all likelihood, slavery would have soon collapsed of its own weight, but what would the area known as the United States look like now? My best guess is the south would be a conservative paradise and north most like a cross between a European no-go zone and a Nutroots gathering- ie, hell. With most aliens blocked from migrating north through The American Republic border to Socialist America, most of their immigrants would arrive by plane from the mideast.

The American Taliban Party (a.k.a., the Left) (a.k.a., the Democrat Party) is dead set on destroying our wondrous Republic. They just don't have the patience to wait another decade or so until they have dumbed down every person under 50 in this country as to why, despite a few flaws, the United States is the greatest country in the history of the world.

The Left/Democrat/Taliban Party will push this to the point where normal Americans will either defend our Republic or accept its death from the enemies within. The Left/Democrat/Taliban Party is confident of victory, a victory they cannot achieve through free elections, and part of their confidence is because they can count on those soft, cowardly, unprincipled RINOs that hold positions of power and authority in the Republican Party to continue to lie to their constituents and to continue to undermine this country that provides them and their families with liberty that money can't buy.

Now they are working to turn this nation into the Utopian world they were unable to create in the Soviet Union. They are the parasites of our human freedom that mankind has worked for generations to eliminate. I have worked endless hours in the Republican Party to squash these bugs like the ants I used to squash as a kid on the school playground.

Those who are too stupid to realize they are working for the Communist are like drones sent into a mountain top when the program was flawed. They should copy off their own Darwin Award because they are Lemmings with the brains of a pea. It is my mission to educate those voters with enough brains to understand that it is the pea brains who need to be out voted and their Commie masters eliminated.

the OP posted:

For awhile now I have been amazed but not surprised. People are confounded at the situation we are in in this country. The obvious steps to correct the problems are not taken. Evil prevails. Obvious criminals prosper. Violence in our country and around the world escalates. While numerous articles are posted that events that replicate what will occur in the End Days actually are occurring now. And people still don't understand why situations seem not to be able to improve.

When Jesus was physically on the earth, the leaders could not force the death of Jesus but why the Father decided it was time for His death, they could not stop it from occurring. No matter how much we try we cannot change God's plans and He will have His way. Even if it seems to us something else needs to happen and we need to force it to occur.

Being able to see the fulfillment of His Word is happening does bring peace of mind when we accept His will and start trusting Him.

From Intel CEO Brian Krzanich quits Trump's manufacturing council posted by freeper Pinkbell.

This is the third CEO to leave that advisory council today alone. He's down seven since it was established.

Let's start off with the most well-reasoned (for freep) post I've seen there today.

quote:

If he wanted to address the decline of American manufacturing, he'd stay. Trump did condemn the white supremacists when he condemned hatred and bigotry and called for all Americans to unify on Saturday and again by name today. There is nothing more he can do.

I don't know who approved the original speech with the "many sides" line. I figured that would be a problem. The speech should have had explicit condemnations of white supremacy, racism, anti-Semitism, and violence and then called out Antifa violence. It should have been a longer speech. The communications strategy was not top notch here, but at no point did he do anything except condemn racism. There was nothing in that initial speech which condoned it.

The media firestorm over this has been a disaster PR wise, and the media attempts to portray him as a white supremacist is definitely going to make the more liberal members of the council pull away. It's a shame because Trump is not a racist - nothing that he has said has indicated he supports these people.

This line of thinking always bugged me, but I think I figured it out. When they complain about the left never apologizing or whatever, what they mean is that they never perceive the left as catering to the right. They don't see progressives catering to the center as also catering to the right, while they perceive those on the right catering to centrists as catering to the left, because anything left of them is "liberal" and evil.

quote:

To: GIdget2004

Where�s the condemnation of Black Lies Matter, AntiFa and others who have rioted, and assaulted people across the country for the better part of two years.

Ever notice how the left NEVER apologizes, never disavows, and never backs away from ANYONE on their side, no matter how extreme or ridiculous they are. Our side always condemns the leftist �virtue signaling� but, that is all I�ve seen since this event, our side groveling, apologizing, disavowing and virtue signaling. No wonder we have lost the culture, and the country.

I am sure the President was advised to not name left groups so as not to equate them with the White Supremacists, even though that would be fair and accurate.

Do you even understand that the construction of race as identity primarily exists among non-white Americans mainly because they are the minority and have clear differences from the majority? Can the majority have an identity distinct from itself?

quote:

To: GIdget2004

Racism is evil and so is denying a racial group any semblance of a racial identity. In doing so you are actually stirring racist feelings. So the Left is at least partly, if not wholly responsible for the Neo-Nazi movement.

The Left is implying when it tells whites that you can�t have a racial identity or pride in your race, that whites are genetically flawed to be genocidal maniacs. Denying one�s genetics and having any pride in it is a dangerous emotional pressure cooker because it leads to oppression by other racial groups that are allowed to celebrate their race and be more cohesive.

The acceptance and encouragement of being proud of once racial inheritance actually decreases racism as long as it is assumed that all races are equal in their potential.

Did they? One party had a federal court order to hold a parade or sit in or whatever. One party didn�t.

Now, 2 months ago, on May 13, a similar gathering of some maybe 200 folks had the very same intent to demonstrate in the very exact same town. Which they did - and even had their little tiki light march, just like last Saturday night. From what I can tell from youtube, (and there�s not much on youtube about it) they did their thing and then went home. I don�t recall reading about any riots in May. Certainly no videos.

So why should there have been riots in August? What changed the dynamic?

There was a time when black Americans knew they weren�t considered human enough to be in society with whites. That they had very few rights and very little freedom. To survive they understood they needed to �stay in their place,� a place of weakness and subservience. Or else.

That was a ghastly time.

Whether it is Richard Spencer or Malik Zulu Shabazz or open-borders extremist Marco Rubio, they all have their first amendment right to speak and to have their audience peaceably assemble to hear them.

But it is a big mistake to �Unite the Right� with opportunists like Spencer or with the KKK or with people who wave the Nazi flag.

We should not allow these elements to become the face of those who want reduced immigration, to protect the native-born American working class and middle class and to end the one-sided globalist loot-the-USA trade deals.

Do they just not understand that authoritarianism + nationalism can yield fascism? Or are they just focused on how historical antifa groups are also communist, and communism is (in their eyes) the same thing as liberalism and therefore evil to freep? The thing that's kinda disturbing me here is how few freepers correctly point out that "conservative" views aren't inherently racially charged, and therefore actively distancing themselves from racial identity politics would be a good idea. Look at how much they've tied together BLM and antifa at the hip. So which pundit is responsible for that? We know they don't think for themselves, so they'd never tie the two movements together without someone suggesting it.

I�m very disappointed with President Trump in all of this.

The white nationalists, which somehow morphed into white supremacists along the way, were exercising their Constitutionally-guaranteed rights of assembly and free speech; whether or not one approves of their message. They even had the support of the courts for this event.

Consistent with their past behavior, Antifa and BLM sought to deny these rights�violently.

Yet, President Trump, bowing to pressure from the Left/media, calls out and criticizes the groups playing by the rules by name.

Very troubling on many levels.

And, no matter what, nothing Trump does will ever satisfy the DIMS.

They may feel themselves rebels but they do the establishments work: discouraging White people and/or conservatives from organizing, disrupting those events if they do actually organize.

It's one of the many milestones in American history that far-righters have interpreted as "the turning point for America". It's their way of justifying hating the gently caress out of contemporary American culture, while still claiming to love America's core ideals and what the founders fought for. Gotta have things start going downhill at SOME point.

McGlockenshire: Dec 16, 2005; GOLLOCKS!

As expected for such an event, there are many, many threads on freep about the fallout from today's press conference. Here are news article threads one, two, and three. There are a few others, mostly vanities, that aren't that remarkable.

I figure the best way to deal with this one is to dive into the 400 reply long live thread, which I fully expect to contain all the live reaction drama. So, here's LIVE: President Donald Trump EXPLOSIVE Press Conference 8/15/17 posted by freeper DouglasKC

The thread was posted at the height of the insanity during the conference itself. I highly recommend you watch the thing in its entirety. I do not recommend watching it sober or with children in the room because you will be yelling at him.

EIGHT FREAKIN� YEARS THE GUY NEVER CONDEMNED IT MUCH LESS EVEN SAID IT and the media has the effin GALL to bash Trump because he didnt condemn these guys at lightning speed? F THEM!

DJT hit it out of the park and stood up for his core beliefs....As in not just the whites and those protesting removal of Confederate statues are to blame. DJT made it clear that he blamed the other side too. The antifa/BLM and other random leftist scum.

Of course I blame BLM/antifa for creating the riot. The pro-Confederates mounted a peaceful protest that antifa/BLM violently assaulted with clubs and shields and throwing shyte and bags of piss..

On balance, I totally agree with you about not chasing rabbits, and digging holes with Twitter, but in this case the whole Charlotte thing was starting to get out of control. With all the CEO�s, WalMart, the Fox infobabe, etc. the narrative was spinning into a dangerous orbit. In this case I think Trump simply had to get out in front and stop this outlandish escalation.

To: proud American in Canada

The media did not find a tragic event. They arranged it. On Fox & friends, Philly this morning. They nhad a Rabbi whose family died in the Holocaust. It was interesting. He was going to confront the White hate groups. He said it was coordinated 2 weeks prior. They were told there would be violence and to come prepared. This guy was a protestor and wanted his two minutes of Fame. Wasn�t over the top. The others took this as a call to arms and took the violence to Va. Two weeks advance notice. Really. They had the talking points out for Trump before he even knew there was an incident. Meanwhile Obama will read about this in the paper next week.

He asked one news babe her definition of alt-right. Of course she did not have one. She said something about what McCain said about them. I hope he asks the opposition press more questions.

It reminded me of the questions shouted at the Prime Minister in Great Britain. PDJT handled it.

To: Finalapproach29er

Equating the two sides is a losing argument.

Trump isn't equating the two sides, he was pointing out the many misleading statements put out by the press and their left wing friends. Trump correctly noted that not everyone protesting on either side was a "bad person." Unlike the position of the left wing media and politically correct types, it is appropriate for people to protest for or against the removal of a historic statue.

Moreover, Trump pointed out that the "alt-left" was also guilty of creating violence, a point the press people refused to admit, and clearly were and are trying to bury in their coverage.

All of the leftist fake outrage over the violence in Charlottesville ignores the role of their intolerance for opposing views and speech which is really the root cause of the violence. Had the Antifa leftists simply ignored the other marchers there would have been no injuries or loss of life. Free speech, a fundamental right in our nation, includes the ability for people to express unpopular, stupid, and even repugnant points of view. And that includes neo-nazi's, white supremacists, and various radical leftists who want to have parades or demonstrations to present their ideas.

What the leftists want, and the media wants, and the politically correct want is a society where only the speech that they approve can be presented in public. And they, and their friends in Antifa and other similar groups, think using violence to silence ideas they don't like is acceptable.

It isn't, and that should be the most important message about the violence in Charlottesville. The government has an obligation to protect the free speech rights of everyone, even people presenting ideas that are stupid and repugnant. Allowing one group to use violence to silence other points of view is completely against the principles of our nation.

Re Fox News...yesterday, heard part of Eboni Williams on �The Specialists� (of what, I don�t know!) and, in fairness, not sure if I heard correctly...but, thought she said �Trump�s base� are racists. Sent her a tweet with my opinion of her comments and asked her to apologize. Today she says she doubles down on her comments of yesterday. She needs to be fired. At one time, Fox was only station on my TV and now it�s rarely on.

Media is a big part of divisiveness in our country. Finally, someone has the courage to call out the media and they can�t stand it. Good for you Mr. President; may God bless and protect you!

Every time I hear the �press� asking the president about reaching out and healing the country, I wish he�d point the finger at them for their destructive and divisive tactics which keep the country divided in the first place.

I just knew, as good as he was, that he would not bring up that dreaded 'C' word (COMMUNIST) to describe many of the organizers and participants on the counter side. No one ever does, at least not in any detail at all. Even Sean Hannity hardly ever mentions it. Meanwhile, it's who these people are. Hannity, as far as I know, and I used to listen to/watch his radio and TV shows a lot, never even described Bill Ayers as Communist, even though he openly and proudly admits he still is one today.
