Reminder that conservatism is nothing more than a political front for white supremacy and should be treated accordingly If one encounters a conservative in real life, the proper procedure is to point and laugh at the person until they go away

How are u posted:I mean, do you actually think you should burn down the home of a racist relative in order to effect real change? I have a couple of more right-wing extended family members and I'm pretty sure if I went and burned their houses down it would not help either our personal relationship or effect any sort of political change. What if we tried doing the whole "social consequences" thing and see if it works first?

How are u posted:I wholeheartedly agree, I think social consequences are worthwhile and important. I must have been confused, it seemed like you presented "throw a molotov through the window" as a more ideal and effective choice than social consequences, which you indicated were merely "a start". My bad. It would certainly be effective, but it would not be ideal. Like I said, though, let's start with severe social consequences first. Refuse to associate with any right-winger. Make it known that it is in fact because of their worldview. If anyone asks, say "I refuse to associate with someone whose worldview is nothing more than a cover for their bigotry and abusiveness, and you shouldn't either." Imagine millions of people doing this. A sort of "social strike." Better yet, be casual about it. Express it like it's a perfectly normal thing to say. Because it is.

I think it is actually kinda important to address the fact that a good chunk of the population are literally being brainwashed into becoming virulent racists, and that it stems from leftover animosity from a particular region of the country that once seceded from the Union

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:I don't disagree with you, but the latter part seems like a good reason to provide a living wage, guaranteed housing, etc to everyone. It's much harder to complain that those people are benefiting when everyone has what they need. Capitalism causes racism, which in turn helps to bolster capitalism by keeping the working class divided against itself. Conservatives don't want "THEIR" tax dollars going to "THOSE" people and there is no further conversation beyond that(because, again, they're racist)

Maybe we are already at the point where neither side sees each other as reasonable or human but if that's the case than the rhetoric can only increase into fighting. Chuds vs. SJWs I guess. They are racists, they have been racists for almost 60 years, and they're already asking when they get to start killing us.

It's just a matter of time until we find out, really, because eventually the right is going to legitimately steal an election in the way that they just claimed the Democrats did, and it's going to happen again, only with an actual reason instead of a made up one. The right has stolen 2 elections since 2000

Neither side is right or wrong as there is great variability in where you draw the line between a coup and a politically motivated riot.

Craptacular! posted:It was why I said that in 2020 that the White House was not going to have snipers shooting BLM protesters even if they're setting the lawn on fire, because the day the government indiscriminately opens fire on people is the day the government destabilizes. You'd be in for a shock, then, because they absolutely would have mowed down BLM protesters if it came down to it, and there would have been absolutely no consequences for it

There were no consequences when Trump literally ordered a police assassination on a guy who shot and killed a Proud Boy in self defense What consequences would there have been if Trump had hypothetically ordered the National Guard to mow down protesters at the White House exactly? More protests? He'd just gun those down too.
