when the Hamilton guy made a song about gay nightclubbers being murdered

corollary:

quote:

Sure, Alexander Hamilton had to stand up to the likes of Aaron Burr and Thomas Jefferson, but when Hamilton’s Lin-Manuel Miranda was in high school, his main adversary was the renowned political rapper and activist Immortal Technique. “He was our school bully,” Miranda told Marc Maron on Monday’s WTF podcast. “He terrorized kids, he threw them in the garbage. I got thrown in the garbage by him.” Still, that didn’t stop the young rapper, then known by his birth name, Felipe Andres Coronel, from coming onto Miranda’s turf: the stage. “He got a part senior year [in the school play] and I was like, ‘Oh my god, I’m in a loving play with the dude that scares the poo poo out of all my friends,” Miranda said.

Protests against Bush looked more like this

actually they tended to look like this



and then shitheads would lie about it because revisionist history is the USA's leading export to the world

by bush's 2nd term pretty much everyone had gotten the message that nonviolent direction action toward the federal government was pointless, yes. that is accurate.

and its counterpart could be drawn today, and in fact you linked videos of #resistance protests to that effect which i assumed was part of the joke but now maybe you just hosed up because you can't actually get your flabby malformed arms around your own point?

400k people marched in manhattan and the NYT covered 36 street theater psychos and clearly its the left who need to get more maoistly self-critical in order to appeal to suburban moderates or whatever.

big difference between the 1/20/17 crowds and 1/21/17 crowds

see now if you were doing more than a Bit you'd have chosen 8/12/17, because that actually changed some things, but you aren't, so you didn't, because you have no actual knowledge. :justpost:

you don't know what protest was, you don't know what it became, you don't know what it is, there's an entire conversation that's been happening for decades. surprisingly little is changing formally its just what good coverage gets grabbed is easier because there is now a prevailing profit motive talking about how President CheetoTM sucks bigly. but you declaim what it is anyway and *veers this poo poo back into the point of this thread* you're providing an accurate snapshot of the average american's filtered picture of direct actions, and that--even as a joke--you're implying The Formal Inauguration changed anything is extremely funny politics poo poo that i'm choosing to remember from the distant past of a few minutes ago and now shutting the gently caress up about. im sorry for even getting into it this bad, slapfights aren't what the thread is for, and if you want to post some codepink videos and own me massively then whatever

hell yeah, thanks, it's so great. how did foreign policy experters back then get snookered by this

it's even better knowing that he was probably just watching Naruto and playing old porn games in Pakistan

they were stupid 20 years ago and 20 years hence are the learned sages we call in to commentate in NPR segments. In The Loop was far more documentary than it was satire.

but he was an enormous unbelievable fuckup when he was in the Navy who crashed like 3 different planes, got drunk all the time, hosed around, etc. Normally you'd be cleaning toilets in an Alaskan research station after crashing 1 plane, but he was the Son of an Admiral, so he got to keep flying.

yeah if anything he set the mold
