police in the USA are freaking fantastic and keep the average citizen incredibly safe. it doesn't matter if a racist criminal is a cop or unemployed, if he's going to do something bad, he's going to do something bad. the police force in the USA is great and most definitely keeps as many immigrants safe as they do regular natives. idk just my thoughts, some cops can be dicks but all in all I feel like few places are safer than the US, unless you live in Detroit you can have a cop show up within minutes at most when needed.

Book burning, at it's core, is about the controlled destruction of creativity and intellectualism. Books are the expression of differing thoughts, ideologies and histories, and text is still the single most effective means of arming a person with the intellect to judge right from wrong as they come across any given situation - like, say, seeing Hitler as a dictator rather than a revolutionary.
False news is book burning in a more fluid, insidious form. It burns any and all credibility to second-hand information, credibility that took centuries of integrity to reach an even passing status to the general public.
They're already book burning. They just don't need to set fire to paper anymore. Just news.

Doesn't this just expose it all?
Trump is only ever tactful, careful, and strategic about what he says when one of two things are involved:
1. Russia
2. White supremacists
He's blunt and tactless and moronic on anything else. Hmm.

I'm quite sure that you spend more time being upset with people who are angry at Trump, than literally anything Trump does.
It's not an assumption that you're a sympathiser. It's in your posts.
You only mention Trump in your posts when you're:
-talking about how this forum is obsessed with his handshakes
-arguing that unemployment numbers at the end of Obamas last terms are a lie
-arguing that the media is only focusing on negatives (I.e. Literally #fakenews)
-being upset that a Trump supporter got beat up
-replying to people who post negatively about Trump supporters
I searched your user name against the word "racism". Zero hits. You can speak out against #fakenews and be disgusted by a Trump supporter getting beat up, but when racists march, commit acts of terrorism and beat counter protesters...*crickets*.
You ain't had shit to say about this entire Charlottesville thing. The only thing you felt you needed to respond to in a thread (or entire political event) about racism was someone saying they don't feel like they want to travel to the USA due to recent political events. Oh and the played out "don't be talking shit about Trump supporters or you'll REALLY make them racist" line.
Why pretend like you don't have a thing for Trump? What's the point?
Aren't you supposed to add the /s at the end?
Otherwise we might think you are being serious.

Agreed, and perhaps one that isn't, at the top level, actively rewinding any and all progress made towards preserving the well being of the planet itself for the next few generations; generations said immigrant is going to live through and potentially have a family live through. Or a country that isn't actively stifling some of the most advanced minds it can produce in science from continuing their research as it goes against the White House administrations agenda. Or a country that isn't allowing campuses from descending into hate riots by allowing right-wing propaganda go unchecked.

What kind of standard do you apply?
Compared to any other developed nation police work in the US is incredibly sub par.
My head hurts after reading this.

I think it's time to accept diplomacy and engagement has completely and utterly failed.
For too long it's been a case of "engage them and prove them wrong" and it's bullshit. The engaging has led to a rise in Nazis in both the UK and USA because they're not engaging, they don't want to listen, they want to play the Nazi and then act like their rights are being eroded when called on it.
We didn't crush the Nazi scum in World War II only to allow them to talk their way in to power, same as they did in Germany.

You forgot this gem by SonicXtreme's claim that Trump has been for LGBT rights all the time:

You feel like few places are safer than the US. Have you ever been out of the US?
We basically interpret the first amendment as meaning "It's okay to advocate for genocide, as long as you don't actually do it!"
That's how much we've neglected to account for the power of words in our interpretation of the law.

Why WHY W H Y is there even such a thing as hate for people that aren't white?
Who the fuck cares about color? It's just a color. Nothing more.
On the inside we look the same.
Mankind is stupid as fuck.

Then I guess all those black people I saw saying they wouldn't call police for help out of fear from the police and incarceration rate statistics that show extremely unproportional high rates for blacks are lying?
That's what fucking police training is for, to teach the officers and weed out racist people for the job. You're right though that it's not as a huge difference as in other countries, as in the US every fucking idiot can run around with weapons, not only the police.
Seems like police training in the US is pretty bad.
Please. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1410366
Edit: Oh and I see you're one of those guys who believe Trump stands for lgbt rights because he hold a flag once? Please explain to me why the military ban on transgender people is standing for lgbt rights.

pretty much.
It's always been about swaying the weak-minded away from being angry at the people that they should be angry at - rich people who look just like them.

Sorry, but the Soviet Union did that. Kiev, Narva, Kursk, Kharkov, Smolensk, etc.
And if I remember, the german Heer P.O.W.s were allowed to go out to places where black people could not go. Racism on the U.S comes a long way and it shows today. Glad where I live racism is very low to zero.

Enough. Do something, anyone.
Yeah. Let it be known this isn't just about support. This is genuinely the ideology of the Trump administration.

Not surprised. Trump is trash just as his whole crew is. Anyone who supports them is trash by extension.

The US fought the Nazis because they declared war to USA first, it was never a question of USA disliking Nazism. After WW2 USA was the biggest sponsor of fascism in the world.

.....you realize that post was made, oh I don't know, BEFORE the military ban....?
idk, I guess I'm not psychotic enough to dig through people's post histories and bestow hindsight onto them to prove a completely irrelevant point to the topic at hand. I'm sure you can find some posts of mine from 2 years ago stating how no mans sky is going to be game of the year and throw those in my face too. godspeed dude. people are dying and we need more positivity in this world over witch hunts. I still believe in this country and encourage any and all to join us. not everyone here is a racist fuck who's going to shoot or run over random people. most cops and citizens here are great people.

That's your defense? lol
Weird how all the "trump haters" saw something like that coming but people like you were somehow incapable. I guess we all just have a special ability to see into the future
This. There's no reasoning with Nazis or their enablers. There is no middle ground or debate when it comes to human rights. Any "allies" out there who feign concern that "lashing out against hatred and bigotry will just push reasonable centrists to Trump" can park it with that shit as far as I'm concerned. It's nothing but a transparent attempt to silence the oppressed, either for nefarious reasons or simply because you don't want to deal with the inconvenience of the situation.

What 'witches'? The very real rise in Nazism? The growing trend in hate-speech enablers? What positiveness do you suggest? Because unless it is something breathtakingly genius it will only equate to 'burying our heads in the sand' to the problems growing around us.
Remind me of a single case in human history where ignoring this kind of hate and bigotry got a society out of a problem.

Weird how I'm not an American and still saw this coming. It's almost as if the Trump administration was always very transparently anti-lgbt and only posed with a flag for show.
The rest of your post is "not everyone here is bad, so that post about not wanting to go to the US is nonsense". And you didn't even engage any of the other points.
Nice standards there. It's perfectly understandable for somebody not wanting to go to the US. In comparison to other first world countries it just really isn't a good place to be, especially for minorities.
I was initially gonna guess Sebastian Gorka, but it could easily be any one of the senior staff in the WH.
lol, verbal diarrhea.

True and false. The U.S was already using lend-lease with the UK in 1940; also the embargo on oil to Japan was to make sure that Germany was going to declare war, because with a Barbarossa victory there was nothing stopping Sea Lion from happening. Also, the war effort would resolve the problems of 1929.
I hope your naïveté is remedied in time.

American tourist gives Nazi salute in Germany, is beaten up
Police say a drunken American man was punched by a passer-by as he gave the stiff-armed Nazi salute multiple times in downtown Dresden.

We need these kind of exchanges on record. Classic whataboutism, and also ignoring the fact that they are nazis and deserve no quarter.
If this is like a witch hunt, the difference is the witches are real, and are exactly as evil and hostile as believed.
Although in reality the "witch hunt" shit is as ridiculous as "many sides" here. What the witches are doing here is far more grave and dangerous than any "hunt" that they try to criticize.
