skeleton warrior posted:Better: go with George "The Rock of Chickamauga" Thomas, who Sherman left in command of the Army of the Cumberland while he marched through Georgia and South Carolina. Thomas was a competent and constantly underrated commander, and the only general to completely destroy an enemy army in the field at the Battle of Nashville. And another next to it as tribute to the men he commanded who not only advanced as they were ordered at Chattanooga, but bum rushed and overran the rebels while screaming "Chickamauga!" to regain their honor

Trump big whiny baby, thought All Lives Matter initial statement was fine and good.Slate posted:Loath to appear to be admitting a mistake, Trump was reluctant to adjust his remarks. The president had indicated to advisers before his initial statement Saturday that he wanted to stress a need for law and order, which he did. He later expressed anger to those close to him about what he perceived as the media’s unfair assessment of his remarks, believing he had effectively denounced all forms of bigotry, according to outside advisers and White House officials.

Boris Galerkin posted:His stuff shows up in my recommended YouTube feed and I watch them now and then. I think he does a fantastic job and is both informative and funny, all said and done, but his stuff seems a tad bit too rehearsed if that makes any sense. People like John Oliver for example at least acknowledges their audience and pauses, stops, laughs with the crowd, and generally interacts with the crowd in some way. But it always felt to me like Seth Meyers just read directly from a teleprompter into a camera. Just an observation. That, and Meyers sometimes has issues with joke timing. Back when he first started with his latest gig (when I started watching him), he had a bad tendency to overplay jokes. I think he's really gotten better though. He does well with politics because I think he needs that bit of meanness in his jokes to really punch them in. When he doesn't linger on a gag, his delivery tends to be much better. drat good delivery on this video, though.

A Jacobin article on "the Battle of Lewisham," a confrontation between about 500 fascists and around 4000 anti-fascists in May of 1977, which successfully pushed back against a rising fascist influence in British politics and fascist electoral victories on the basis of demonizing immigrants and the black population. quote:The Battle at Lewisham shaped the national political dynamic. Not only was the National Front’s sense of momentum shattered, but it had faced humiliation by being defeated on the streets by its opponents. The struggle was widely credited with easing racial tensions in the area, partially due to the unity of young Asian, Irish, and black people in fighting fascism, but also due to the intimidation local fascists now felt in areas they had once terrorized. Conclusion: the correct response to fascists is overwhelming force, preferably behind a brick flying through the air.

Vice's Elle Reeve got up close with some of the Nazis behind the Charlottesville march. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIrcB1sAN8I The entire thing is fairly dire viewing for the amount of explicit malevolence put on display by grunts and organizers alike, but those last three minutes are probably some of the most important you can spend in witnessing a raw lust for death that will lead to bodies in ways that may eclipse what happened in this country over the span of a weekend.

radmonger posted:Followed by giving them what they asked for, as the article argues? Are you referring to the electoral victories of Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Party? Arguably, they represented a moderation, subsuming overt fascists back into conventional dogwhistle politics and preventing a fascist insurgency from the right. Such as David Cameron attempted and failed to do with the Brexit maneuver. I'm not really familiar enough with British politics or history to say more than that but there it is. I just think it's foolish not to heed the fascists themselves, when they say time and time again that the only thing that can stop them is direct opposition willing to use force to shut them down. Even Hitler himself admitted as much. Force is the only thing fascism comprehends, because fascism is the logical end point of authoritarian dogma.

Lightning Knight posted:I know what both of these things are but not how they work in this metaphor. Can you elaborate? Versailles was punitive and tried to ensure Germany couldn't wage war again. The Marshall Plan forced Europe to acknowledge its guilt and attempted to rebuild society to both be a bulwark against the USSR as well as alleviate the causes that gave rise to fascism to begin with. Basically, before people go Nazi, you have to actually try and help them so that they don't go Nazi. You don't just write them off and continue kicking them in the dick.
