Thanks for the detail.
Aye the defiance of federal law, that is just what you've said though, a defiance. Its not breaking federal law, so why would it justify this action? States defy federal law constantly - you'll know the ones that do so around gun laws eh? Abortion? Environmental restrictions? Heck even vaccines. Didn't see a president send in the troops for those now did we?
It is breaking the law. What laws are being broken in these other cases?
Portland was defo a bit basket case for a while no doubt, but what other cities are you meaning where antifa mobs took over?
Seattle. Again 'autonomous zones' were left to wreak mayhem, murder the occasional black person and so on. There were others but more short lived.
Aye course his supporters appear to have the same paranoia and irrational fear he does, of just about everything that doesn't make them feel warm and fuzzy. Snowflakes man.
What is irrational about concern at vast upticks in homicide (now finally abating in
some places as the whackos roll back some of their excesses), having to step over junkies as you go about and shopping districts emptying out as stores close down in the faces of lawlessness?
Could I maybe point you to my response to Torto above - do you agree that next to fuckall would be solved in a city 'ravaged by drug abuse, lawlessness and murder' by sending in armed national guard?
No. I'm not saying that should be done but it could make a massive difference. I mean quite clearly. When the police withdrew due to defund the police hijinks thousands of additional homicides and road deaths happened pretty much immediately, replicating the pattern of previous cycles of the same thing. It was mainly black people that suffered so noone except racist right wingers cared, least of all the white wokesters that caused it. But all the same: less enforcement, more killing. More enforcement, less killing.
I mean by all means object to the approach, I do from my safe distance. But it seems nuts to suggest it can't work, at least in principle.
Ah wait you've said here it is actually disturbing. Yeah. 100%
Yeah I've said it from the outset, hence the 'I repeat'. Are you not reading or more intent on a game only you are playing?
Although Starmers britain made me chuckle. Has he been here long enough now to make the country his own? Impressive! In all seriousness though, you reckon what here, that Starmer has created an masked unmarked force worse than ICE? Have I missed something?
He's been in office longer than the Trump administration. Unpleasant though they may be Ice are targeting illegal migrants for deportation, not American citizens for having the wrong thoughts. There's no comparison and the difference does not favour us.
I see. Trump telling the media what it can and can't report on is a good thing. Trump telling the DOJ to make up any charges they can to imprison the people he doesn't like is a good thing. Trump telling universities to teach only the doctrines he approves is a good thing.
Who said that? Are you having trouble challenging my arguments? If not why are you replacing them? Trump replicating the methods used against him in revenge is both highly regrettable and highly predictable. See vid below.
Aye I've read about folk seeing these things happen and declaring them good things before. Very much needed, to tear down the horrible regime and people who were secretly pulling all the strings before. Yes. History does indeed repeat. Interesting.
What are you on about? Have you moved from seeing fascists under the bed to now objecting to knocking down things which resemble it
at least as much as what you complain of? You know what fascism is right? Integration of private enterprise and all private domains with the state?
Do you actually care about turns in that direction, or is it just a rhetorical tool to wield at the enemy tribe?
Did it? Weren't very good at it then were they? Absolutely useless at it it seems! Not as big and scary as you previously described them then really. Trump wont need to work very hard! Just kidding, as if Trump does work!
It happened fella, deal with it.
Wrt the above this video is interesting. Dinesh D'souza, a conservative from a less barking age, gets tore into both the woke right and the progressive madnesses that have torn America apart. There is an exchange that goes right to one of the topics above. His interviewers lament the Trumpian response to the latter and he does too: but also observes that prior Conservative reluctance to meet increasing authoritarianism, abuse of power and general bampottery has just emboldened more of the same. The appeasement problem basically.
It makes the hosts uncomfortable and me to, though it's also obvious. Militancy begets militancy and the cycle is very hard to break once joined. Exactly as I forecast all those years ago.
Edit - sorry wrong vid before
Ps if we continue can we dispense with the games? I am not interested in tribes and it's a bit of a red neck when people on here replicate the progressive media's complete inability - and perhaps disinterest - to see the world as it is rather than a simplistic psychodrama of their own concoction.
Tldr please engage with points I have made rather than making stuff up and putting it in my mouth. I'm so done with that kind of thing and won't waste further time on it. That's not down to you by the way, theres just so much of it about and im so bored of it, sorry you came along at the wrong time so to speak.
I'm afraid it comes across as people just repeating what our betters have told us to think, which reminds me what the appeal of fascism is actually. It saves people having to think about difficult things and a pleasing surrender to emotion over reason.
