Bish loves my games!
What hope dude, no one wants to fight this or would rather join in with nazies.

Fuck this country, it can suck my fat dick.

You literally LITERALLY stop people from learning about ACTUAL factual history, you're god damn sure it's going to repeat itself.

Worst part about that facebook thread I posted above is that everyone in it is Canadian. Yes. We're all the same level of shit.
A lot of offensive point of views of come across here on GAF have been from Canadians.

I know Canada is a lot more progressive overall, but yeah, just a weird thing that I've run into here.
 

Actually as shitty as what FB and some of these other social media sites are doing by letting information from fake sources circulate unchecked I really can't be mad at them anymore. The people who read those stories and believe and share them are folks that actively want to be misinformed. If FB didn't supply them with their daily dose of Fake News they'd just look for it somewhere else.

Shame to see this great country drstroy itself. Have faith good people, Lets hope for the best.


As fucked things are at the moment, let's not lose perspective. Things were much much worse before the civil Rights movement.

If we continue to be strong and we stand together against these assholes, we'll be aight.

Yes, we do need to stay strong and keep fighitng this shit. Absolutely.

At the same time, while we're not quite in the 1950's, we've definitely gone backwards several steps over the past 2-3 years when it comes to racial and social issues. We now have people in the Whitehouse actively trying to pulls us back to "the good ol' days". It's a real thing that is happening.
 
"M-muh both sides" can fuck off. The people on one side are literal Nazis proudly waving swastikas and saluting while shouting "Blood and Soil!"

a steaming load of shit

"no citizen should ever fear for their safety" says the man actively campaigning for the death and suffering of millions of people every day
 
I go on Facebook twice a month, why did I choose today to do so? It just can't be about this turd but somehow about Obama.
I'm so upset and frustrated by this country. I have this odd anger/gloom setting in today that I haven't felt since November. It feels horrible.
Sure, go out and vote in 2018 but god damn don't sit on your ass when this is one of your options as President.
 
Hey, guess which prominent person had an alternative view of today!

It always boggles my mind, that someone famous like James Woods, with unlimited access to all kinds of people and information, still manages to be a raging bigot who believes in alt-right conspiracies.

I mean, I guess James Woods was likely always a fucking idiot before he ever got famous.

It's almost a double negative. The 50s were unquestionably awful, but at least there were people in the White House promoting change and progress. Trump and his puppets don't care about what happened in NC, they're just kind of annoyed with the coverage and those standing for good and equality were deemed part of the problem.

The fight against the alt-right is solely in the hands of the citizens. It's also not heartening, given the climate, that dems are willing to leave minorities behind in an attempt to cater to Trump voters in future elections.

It is certainly easy to lose hope when you look at the broader picture of what's happening right now. No doubt about it, these are dark times.

One can say that about a lot of people that uses the internet.
 
Going to be another 3 years of this. And we haven't even seen any big economic disasters yet. Imagine if we get a recession within these next few years.

Because it's pretty likely that it'll happen.

Why do nazi skinheads where red suspenders anyway?
One of the reasons of the red by the nazis, besides the color of the flag:



Mein kampf volume 2 chapter 7
(...)
The red color of our posters in itself drew them to our meeting halls. The run-of-the-mill bourgeoisie were horrified that we had seized upon the red of the Bolsheviks, and they regarded this as all very ambiguous. The German national souls kept privately whispering to each other the suspicion that basically we were nothing but a species of Marxism, perhaps Marxists, or rather, socialists in disguise. For to this very day these scatterbrains have not understood the difference between socialism and Marxism. Especially when they discovered that, as a matter of principle, we greeted in our meetings no 'ladies and gentlemen' but only 'national comrades,' and among ourselves spoke only of party comrades, the Marxist spook seemed demonstrated for many of our enemies. How often we shook with laughter at these simple bourgeois scare-cats, at the sight of their ingenious witty guessing games about our origin, our intentions, and our goal.

We chose the red color of our posters after careful and thorough reflection, in order to provoke the Left, to drive them to indignation and lead them to attend our meetings if only to break them up, in order to have some chance to speak to the people. (...)
 
Some shithead on CNN right now:

"America is not used to a president talking this way. They are, you know, used to the president talking in a more moralistic fashion."

Soros is Jewish, the white supremacist narrative is that Jews are orchestrating liberal civilization to destroy white racial consciousness..

George Soros is a favourite target of conspiracy theorists and neo-nazis.

Interestingly, he's also widely hated by Central and Eastern European nationalists (like Orban), which leads me to believe there's Putinist fuckery afoot.

Soros is the most powerful man in the world. He can bus in millions upon millions of people across the globe, paying them all with vast amounts of money yet somehow keeping them all quiet and never having any of these people post evidence of payment.

He is also the cause of Hillary receiving millions of illegal votes, yet luckily for all us anti-globalists he was too stupid to realize they shouldn't all be voting in California.

Jews. Can't take a step outside without landing in some conspiracy to these nutjobs.

Being Jewish is enough, nevermind the wealth. If they have a suspicion of someone ”funding” something, he's the scapegoat.

He's also Hated by libertarians, and the conservatives in Brazil.

Racial tensions at the highest in a long long time, Russians engaging in a proxy war and threat of nuclear war, sure is the good old days.

Except now we've got climate change evidence and naturally - denying at the highest positions of power lmfao

But yes we don't have slavery or Jim crow laws
