wow, all this discussion and you still can't comprehend, nobody is defending the civil war, it is our history tho and the monuments that are offending some idiots have been there for decades and are a part of our history. The prez expressly bashed the bigoted groups involved in Cville except he left out BY NAME the BLM and antifa. But yea, ignoring what Trump actually says is the only way you idiots can keep this stuff upip_law-hokie wrote:USN_Hokie wrote:Your posts are all silly conjecture.

Re: Trump nails it
Yeah, he was. He said there were decent folks protesting the removal. Do you think that anyone that has a differing opinion from your silly views is deserving of being attacked by a mob? Not all protestors there were moronic Nazis and racists. They just have a differing view and if they have that view and protest peacefully, there is no reason to consider them other than decent.Trump was defending those protesting the Robert E. Lee statute removal. Polite society views these people as worthless, racist necks. I can understand your blind spot on this issue, but you are going to have to take my word on it. No country for old necks.

Re: Trump nails it
You are trying to assign relative evil factors to the two groups, with the white supremacists being more evil. But that is irrelevant to clear thinkers.

Re: Trump nails it

All those things have only one thing in common, they represent the killing of millions of jews in the name of white supremacy.

It's an irrelevant goddam distinction when they're both committing acts of violence. Nazi's and the KKK can advocate for whatever crazy, racist BS they like. That is their 1st Amendment right under the United States Constitution.
ANTIFA are bunch of communist-inspired thugs. They are the exact flipside of those KKK groups- they just don't have the same number of years under their belts as the Klan. But you can be sure that they will advocate methods which are just as violent and destructive as the Neo-Nazi's and the KKK. They do not respect the sovereign laws of this country. In fact, all of those groups abhor our system of government and commerce. If you talk to these crazy F's, they'll invoke 'hate speech' as a justification for the violence. The Constitution doesn't recognize 'hate speech' as an impediment to the 1st Amendment. At all.
At this point I'm just sick of them all. The spiteful part of me would be completely fine with stripping them of their U.S. Citizenship and deporting their worthless asses to a 3rd world dump.

The KKK was formed with a structure and set goals in place, some of which was political activism, and a lot of violence and threats to reconstructionist GOPers.

Maybe you think anarchists are the same as nazis, and the kkk. I don't.
Your argument is literally "because...swastika!"
Same with the KKK.
And I know you keep arguing about killing cops. Yes, that's awful, and all those people should be arrested and criticized.
But, in historical perspective, you can't equate the actions of the Nazis and the KKK, with groups like antifa or blm. Well, maybe you can.
One more time: they're the same. Neither is better/worse. You sound like McMuffin's Twitter feed.
There is no right to visit violence on others who are exercising their right to free speech. It's really simple.

That's moronic. Changing their slogans would mean that they had different goals and ideas, which would make them different.USN_Hokie wrote:Yep.awesome guy wrote:You're hung up on historical symbols. Over the last 5 years, BLM and Antifa have killed more people than the KKK. They're also violent at their rallies.
The obvious solution here is for the white separatists to change their slogan to a panda bear. That would make them A-OK in DC's book.

Haha. I think the swastika enables time travel, it's enabling Nazis to escape Patton by jumping into their future and our present!
