So little bit weird that there was a riot in Sweden AFTER Trump's comment.


Meh, not really. Those people are crazy.
Screw you all, and have a nice day!

To be fair, as far as riots go this hardly qualifies. A relatively small group of masked individuals threw stones at the police, lit fire to six cars and damaged several storefronts in the immediate area. No injuries have been reported on either side. From what I understand the police managed to disperse the group relatively fast, though I do not know if anyone were arrested. One would presume some were.

Edit: I mean, not to downplay this. It is very problematic that something like this would happen in Sweden. However, this would hardly have been a shocking occurrence anywhere outside of Scandinavia, and certainly not in the US.

I think it's time for a US led intervention force. We cannot let the Swedes suffer and clearly they will be unable to deal with a disturbance of this size themselves. It will also send out a clear message to the terrorists that the West will not buckle to Islam-incited car and storefront hatred. We all support our white male repressed underclass against the bolsjevik muslims.

Isn't that at CPAC? AKA the Conservative Pedophile Action Conference? Who the hell is airing that stuff on television?

I believe that this year it is being sponsored by the Man/boy love alliance and is being aired on the sexual harassment channel (aka..Fox news).
How many fucking people do I have to hammer in order to get that across.

NAMBLA
Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

LOL! Richard Spencer got kicked out of CPAC, but the funny thing isn't that he was kicked out, but the reasoning. https://www.washingt...-fascist-group/

“There is a sinister organization that is trying to worm its way into our ranks,” said Dan Schneider, the executive director of the American Conservative Union, which runs CPAC. “We must not be deceived by [a] hateful, left-wing fascist group.”

Worm its way? Milo was gonna be a keynote speaker -- hate intact -- until the pedo video resurfaced. Left-wing? Is anybody going to fall for that? (The answer is sadly yes, a certain segment we all know and love, but...) It's so nakedly desperate. As BK pointed out, Steve Bannon still had a major spot.

Please, please, please keep the nuke codes away from him. http://www.bbc.com/n...canada-39073303

Also this bit of the article: "During Mr Trump's campaign he referred to nuclear proliferation as the "single biggest problem" facing the world, but also said he could not rule out using nuclear weapons against Europe." WHAT?

Oh, wow. They're ramping up their schedule.

I'd be bemused, if this wasn't so terrifying. The question is: how much backlash will there be?

The AZ bill passed the state Senate, and will probably pass their House, and who knows what the Governor will do? And I doubt it would pass muster with any court. But they're trying it, and that's all you really need to know about the GOP. It happened because Arizona is the Florida of the West.

At what stage do republican voters realise their wealthy overlords don't give a fuck about them and say 'fuck this for a game of darts!'?

Unfortunately, the current media landscape has created a dystopia of misinformation worse than anything George Orwell or Ray Bradbury imagined (that's hyperbole, but the landscape is really similar to what they imagined). I don't think there is much chance of a sudden awakening anywhere.

I sometimes wonder whether I'm exactly as brainwashed as the people that fanatically support Trump. Maybe I'm just on the other end of the brainwashing spectrum.

I don't think it matters. If you are "brainwashed" to believe that human life has value in and of itself, then that's preferable to brainwashing of the opposite view. It's like the question of free will: is it all one long inevitable chain reaction starting with the Big Bang? Maybe. Does that mean we shouldn't imprison convicted murderers? No, not at all.

The fact that those news outlets were banned from the news gaggle this aft is the end of proper democracy in your country, is it not?
