i'd say the US will have similar parades within four years, but no, we are too joyless

I swear a countries propensity for doing stuff like this (or wood and brick braking) seems totally inverse to having any real military ablity.

As a tactic you usually use it to bring awareness. In this case that doesn't work because we all know they are giant assholes. But for them, I assume it's about encouraging people to not vote. It fulfills the same role as the old Klan parades used to have. Act as a reminder that they exist as a barely veiled threat, and to encourage each other.

Which reminds me of this slight footnote in American History. InRangeTV did a video on it too.

The Battle of Hayes Pond is pretty great. But there is some context missing from that article that I suspect this thread might enjoy. There was a reason the Klan went after the Lumbee tribe. The Klan in NC had a bit of a set back in 1957. Robert F. Williams and Dr. Albert Perry joined their local chapter of the NAACP. The pair made a push to integrate the local pools, which they knew would get the Klan worked up. Knowing this, they put together a group of 50 or so Black veterans and reached out to the NRA to get a local chapter formed. They left out the black bit and the NRA sent them a bunch of mil-surp to promote target shooting. The local Klan had a meeting, then a parade to get themselves worked up as they drove to Dr. Perry's house to burn it down. They did the usual make a lot of noise, have torches, shoot guns in the air poo poo. They were completely surprised to find the Black Armed Guard waiting for them. From prepared positions with sandbags and the works. The Black Armed Guard aimed low, but they aimed low repeatedly and with a generous use of ammo. I am sure it will be no shock that the Klan had a police escort. The Klan displayed the same lack of fortitude as they would at Hayes Pond. And Monroe banned the Klan. Also the pool was integrated.

Unfortunately the local cops convinced some white people who got lost in the Black part of Monroe to falsely accuse Robert F. Williams of kidnapping. He fled to Cuba then China. It wasn't till the 70s when he was cleared. But he influenced the Civil Rights movement. And he wrote Negroes with Guns which influenced the Black Panthers.

Goddamn that all owns so much, well barring part of the last paragraph, thank you so much for the info dump.

They were apparently trailing a Donnie door-knocker and in the door-knocks, they found some Biden voters. I always thought campaigns had a solid list of prospects versus just randomly hitting up every door on the block.

The one time I did I feel like it was a solid list, but that a decade or more ago, it also may have been a solid area too.

mtc, every time i see your username, i'm reminded of how the mayor of San Francisco said of the local george floyd uprisings, that they were definitely all run by outside agitators, and that we didn't want any of their "mazel-tov cocktails" or whatever else.

obviously in her specific case it was cool anti-semitic tropes about jews being the shadowy puppetteers behind social justice movements, and George Soros paying protestors, but more generally, she was insisting that the problems she saw were caused by Outsiders and Foreigners, and that no true San Franciscan would ever protest against, or even really disagree with her. it's a great technique! she was telling us that none of our problems are our fault, and that anyone who says differently is an enemy, which are things most of us are always ready to hear.

also it's definitely the dude's dick, come on. the whole story is a terrible line of attack anyway; people like Hunter, and his photos, and how Biden treats him, and a majority of the commentariat have decided they aren't going to talk about it. which i guess is fair after not talking about, say, Donald Jr being an utter void, an adult baby dressed in a suit, given crayons and his own table and told, now it's time to do business! can you do business like daddy??

I think it goes without saying it’s a marriage of foreign enemies and trash living here, but that’s a very valid point to bring up so touché*. Also God bless you for wanting to be the dude doing dick analytic work. There’s nothing no more horrendous than the white middle-aged male nude selfie in front of a mirror. The funny thing is my user name comes from some woman to comment right before the 2016 election. I changed it before the polls were closed and figured it would be a very niche joke within the next few weeks....sigh.
