Why? Because the only real fraud is the claims of fraud. The only one really trying to steal the election is Trump. I know many of his supporters wish it weren't so... but wishing don't make reality.

Anyone agree or disagree?

I agree completely. Trump was a fraudster when he entered the White House and he'll leave in the same condition.

I've been saying since the election that there was a very simple way for everyone to know with certainty whether there were any shenanigans going on with the election, and that was to watch the Supreme Court.

Why have I been saying this? Because 6 of the 9 justices are conservative, and 3 of those were appointed by Trump himself. If there was sufficient fraud to overturn this election, the Supreme Court would have dealt with it. We know from precedent (Bush/Gore 2000) that they'll get involved if need be.

I'd think so. If there was fraud, then why isn't it being taken seriously? Unless there's some amount of corruption making them turn the other way. The other day, I heard Texas has now filed a lawsuit for voting fraud.

TBH I don't think matters much anymore. Whoever gets the throne is gonna have so few
support as not to be able to accomplish much. Which is probably good because governments that start doing a lot of things usually end up screwing people for some
reason.

That said;

I have heard there are states suing other states because they claim their own electoral procedures -the procedures themselves- are not compliant. There are sworn
declarations from people who claim electronic election data was processed illegally.
Then there is all this issue of the election software provided by a company with
heavily suspicious ties.

But even if the electons had been 100% clean you could argue that "somebody" has been
working into manipulating US politics via burning the streets and stirring the mood in
order to destabilize the federal government. I don't believe for a second that all the
noise that there has been for more than 6 months has been expontaneous coincidence.

So whether Trump is a fraudster is open to discussion, but if he is, he is not the
only one. In fact, I'd say he is not the big one.

you notice the media tries to control everything. it's only being taken seriously if the media reports it is. there's several cases of issues at the polling places, usps doing bullshit and mail in voting issues.

also the forensic evidenced has been destroyed. a recount is just recounting all the fraud.

It has been decades since any politician or political party has been in tune with my core values enough for me to support, so I didn't have a real preference between Clinton and Trump in 2016. However, the past 4 years have been hell. His strength is clearly in being a master at dividing people and pitting them against each other, and that is the worst possible quality we need in a president, so I am happy to see him go. Not exactly a Biden supporter, but by golly, in comparison, Biden is a saint.

I see this sentiment and agree with parts of it. While I had been hoping and predicting a Trump loss, I was worried about a huge Democratic Sweep, which I am pleased didn't emerge. A "mandate" always seems to be abused in our nation. But having to actually work with the other side has the potential for good. And while I do not like the "career politician" mindset, one thing that comes from it is the ability and willingness to work with the other side to get things done. Something Trump has never been able to accomplish.

That said;

I have heard there are states suing other states because they claim their own electoral procedures -the procedures themselves- are not compliant. There are sworn declarations from people who claim electronic election data was processed illegally. Then there is all this issue of the election software provided by a company with heavily suspicious ties.

I am skeptical of ALL OF IT. Trump claimed corruption in the 2016 election too. In fact, I saw videos of him from 2012 talking about election corruption. Yet he spent 4 years AS PRESIDENT, 2 of them with control of the house and senate, yet never spent a single minute dealing with election corruption.

And he spent the last 6 months predicting a "rigged" election, yet didn't do a solitary thing in the past 4 years to address the issue. I call bullshit.

There have been dozens of suits filed (literally), and without exception they've been shot down. The one that wasn't was dealt a death blow yesterday by the Supreme Court.

Yet, for all the time in front of the camera telling US about the mountains of evidence proving fraud, by the time they actually get to court they water those claims down to the point they've not even alleged fraud in many of the suits they filed. Why? Because you don't need any actual evidence to claim fraud to your supporters through a TV camera, but an actual court isn't going to tolerate it.

Like it or not... the "Supreme Court" test I mention is accurate. Given a 6-3 majority on his side, if there is ANY corruption in this election big enough to overturn the results, the Supreme Court >WILL< address it.

And if the Supreme Court lets this election stand, you can be assured, it's legitimate.

I think you are showing your stripes here, since the Left in general has been much more divisive than any other political power in the Western world since the dawn of the 2008 crisis.

You didn't use to see people camp├aigning against local businesses and publishers and whatever because they refused to use incorrect english or whatever (aka "inclusive" language).

You didn't use to see political factions try to shoehorn politics into things that didnḉ't use to be political at all, then blame people who resist such maneuvers of being divisive and such.

I get not voting Trump (because I am not a fan myself either) but claiming to vote against him because divisiveness issues won't fly with me.

What did the Trump administration have to do with a crisis that was
happening in *2008* that you don't remember? Joe Biden was in Congress
then, and had been for a very long time. So were Nancy and Chuck and Obama. Trump was not even in politics yet.

I wouldn't have even dreamed anything close to the reality of today.

Anything close to what? The pandemic would have happened no matter who was
in charge, unless they'd come up with some way to convince or force China to keep their wet markets closed after SARS.

We had cops shooting people they shouldn't, and urban unrest surrounding such incidents (justifiend shootings and not), before Trump. Ferguson, Missouri,
a well known example, happened in 2014 when Obama was President.

Beyond that, what bad things have happened in the past four years, that
*never* happened before, to make reality so horrible?

Low minority unemployment?
Jobs moving back to the USA from China?
Countries in the Middle East recongnizing Israel's right to exist?
Actual movement towards getting us out of a military conflict that Obama promissed to end but did not?

Those sure are horrible things.

From the invention of politics "they" have been seeking to divide us. So of course you are correct that the division started long before Trump.

But Trump sure has capitalized on it. He has mastered the art and we are more divided than ever. I would go so far as to say he built his whole base on division.

Actually, they are. While you might have a point about Minneapolis, the US Pacific NW has been having issues for years. The rioting this Summer in Portland and Seattle may have had something "non-political" to focus on and temporarily draw additional participants, but the groups that have set up
shop there were there before this Summer, and before November of 2016.

Their main focus has been protesting capitalism and western society under
the veil of protesting fascism. So it is economic and political.

So now it is time for your song and dance about how the things that they support... abandoning capitalism in favor of communism, socialism, anarchy... are not leftist ideas.

Lives Matter movement has been built the way it has been built because founders needed a new way of pushing forward their marxist agenda, and since class struggle is a dead end, identitary politics is the new way try. This has been declared very much like that so if you want to belie this is not political I don't know what to tell you.

There is lots going on in politics that is debatable but the issue here is n political. It's a simple question of justice.

The question is simple although the answer may not be easy.

Whether group A has more or less rights than group B and how to deal with it is a political matter. I'd be a political matter even if it was non-partisan - which it is, since Democrats have based their politics in dividing the population into minorities and then telling them that all their trouble has been caused by heterowhites.

Anarchy is not left either.

Even market anarchists, agorists, anarchocapitalists et all often describe themselves as leftists because they oppose the established order.

Opposing established order was the definitory trait of the left when the left was invented, and still it for a hell of a lot of people.

Anarcho-syndicalists that define themselves as orthogonal and non-leftists have the same credibility as Manuel Canduela when he claims his party is pro-democracy. Hint: Canduela's party loves to look back to General Franco's fascism in nostalgia.

Any idea of group A against group B is political even when it is not partisan (and BLM surely has taken partisan stances).

But the main issue is that BLM does not stand for Black Lives Matter. It stands for generic Marxism packaged as ratial struggle.

It is like when every other Identitary Politics advocate founds a Gay Right group, uses it to pursue goals that are not Gay related, and when they find any opposition against their welfare policies or whatever, they accuse their foes of being anti-gay.

I have noticed some logic here that goes a little similar to that... they themselves aren't beating people up, but they do believe people are getting beat up because of what Trump was saying, and he is responsible instead of
the unruly dumbasses doing the beating.

Trump didn't go hard enough crushing these fascist wannabe's.

Agree 100%. Obama never did anything about them, either, although they
were not nearly as unruly when he was around.

I believe it is more difficult in the US to go too hard on them, however.

Black people want to feel safe in their own skin. It's not a political movement
it's not left or right.

People who blindly follow the "movement"... yeah, ok, you are probably right about their reasons. But BLM is not a movement, it is a political
activists group (there is that word, political) that funnels money into
various political campaigns (there it is again) and causes. This has most recently included funneling money towards a white Democrat running for
congress when they had a black Democrat running against her in the
primary... a black Democrat who was more aligned with their alleged beliefs
and values.

My point is that it was more important to (try to) elect a Democrat, period, than it was to try to elect someone whose professed beliefs are their own.

They are 100% a political organization. The fact that they have you fooled into believing they are not means they are doing their job.

There is lots to get political about this subject but on the face of it, the core issue is not political.

I am trying to give standing to the core issue, that a black person or anyone really, should not have to fear the police as is the case today. That is an issue that shouldn't exist but it does.

Sometimes police do kill people who threaten them or others, I accept that.

So many times police have killed or hurt someone without justification of any kind, black people especially.

The reason may be racism or just a bad attitude. Those reasons don't justify the reality of these deaths.

If we can find a way to address that core issue we can leave behind all the politics that ensue.

Hi,

I have been to college so let me share my experience. College is usually plagued with activist groups trying to accomplish various things. Often, those things are not the sort of issue you correlate with a political party or a politician. An example would be a student org trying to get propietary software replaced by FOSS in the lab's computers.

Often, these organizations describe themselves as apolitical.

The issue is as soon as you are trying to push for a change in the behaviour or management of a community you are becoming politically active. Once you try to set policies to accomplish a goal you are becoming political. It is this simple. If you try to rise awaremess about how bad propietary software is you do so because you expect to eventually get somebody to kick it off from the lab and rule (formally ot not) that FOSS will be used from then on.

Matters become more complicated because once awareness exists in the community, some political party will show up and offer political representation to this group. When the group accepts the offer (which they usually do) then the group is both political and partisan. The arrangement is usually that the student org tells everybody how great the political party is, and funnels funds or resources into it (often with shady methods). The party offers the group political representation and favor trafficking.

It becomes even worse when an student group that describes themselves as apolitical or transversal happens to defend a political program that adjusts 100% to that of some political party. I have seen that personally and it is cringeworthy.

Bottom line, I am aware the KKK exists, profiling exists etc, but trying to rise awareness about it and trying to set policies against such things is a political activity by definition even if the group is not partisan - and as I have said, BLM and friends are partisan as heck. Damn, there are videos of BLM activists putting people on their knees and making them promise they won't vote Republican.

I am not advocating for any political party or suggesting any kind of activism.

I do not support the BLM movement itself, it has become too political and it wants to defund the police. That's a really bad idea. I don't think defund the police as they say it means defund the police as we generally understand it but they can clear that up for themselves if they care to.

I do though, support the idea that black lives do matter. I think that all lives matter so it's not much of a leap for me to say that, or support that cause.

The issue is as soon as you are trying to push for a change in the behaviour or management of a community you are becoming politically active.

I see a need for change but just how that change will happen or if it will happen at all I don't know. I'm not sure what the solution is and I'm a little leery of bringing politicians and lawmakers into it but it is likely to need some political and law "can do" to make any effective change.

If some kind of change doesn't happen we are likely to see more of the same.

Matters become more complicated because once awareness exists in the community, some political party will show up and offer political representation to this group.

I think there is good basis to label them a terrorist organisation, as they use violence, and threat of violence to achieve political goals. Declare them the criminal organisation that they are.

There are those who call themselves antifa but there is no antifa
leader or organization. These people do not represent the left.

Lefties believe that, if they repeat the lie often enough, it becomes truth.

Where is the antifa headquarters?

I have bad news for you: We are on to your lies and no matter how many times you repeat the lie, it will never be true.

That is true for left and right.

The right today repeats the election fraud lie day after day but it is simply not true, regardless of how many times it is repeated.

The work by making threats of violence, mostly. There is a tactic if warning t
at if event X goes ahead, there could be violence because of controversy, so to
prevent the potential violence, they should remove the controversial speaker et
.

That is a common tactic on college campuses, for sure. They only want the views of one side represented.

I think there is good basis to label them a terrorist organisation, as they use
violence, and threat of violence to achieve political goals. Declare them the >riminal organisation that they are.

I agree here also. Those that don't agree declare that there is no organization to declare criminal because they don't exist. Public property destroys itself.

I know people who considered themselves "antifa" before it blew up as a bogeyman term. They are typically far left individuals who are also anticapitalist and believe that fascism must be stopped via force before it can take hold. They mostly started chattering amongst themselves when Trump was elected.

They did not have any form of organization, and used it more as a tactic or ethos. You'd have small groups organizing in towns and possibly coordination between those groups from time to time, but there wasn't any kind of national organization.

I largely lost touch with them because a lot of them were conspiracy nuts (they didn't like getting called out and accused me of being a Trump supporter, which was bizarre if you know my particular political leanings) and I'd jokingly accuse them of wanting to burn down a Starbucks everytime they didn't get their way.

I think one of them showed up for protests after moving to Seattle, but the rest didn't do jack-squat.

Their organization is not top-down, it is vertical. They are an
organization in the sense that they make a call out (on social media, the
dark web, etc.) for members to assemble and they do. It wouldn't be right
for an anarchist group to have a single leader.

Hard to tell. They mostly socialist, but ask a different person and you'd get a different answer. Capitalism was either a gateway to fascism via corporate power, or it was a different evil that they may as well smash at the same time. I do feel like it was two different groups (the socialists and the antifa) who kind of comingled until they were indistinguishable.

By and large it was disaffected youths who were angry at the state of the world and wanted a revolution.

The antifa creed of sorts I saw them espousing at the earliest was a basic belief that fascism is real, it's an existential threat, and it can happen here - therefore freedom of speech and nonviolence can be disposed of if the purpose is keeping fascism from taking hold because the risks are too great.

I don't associate with those groups. I don't know where the headquarters is. Groups like the KKK are old news and today support Donald Trump. There are web pages where you can get more info on those group and get involved.

Members of the KKK and proud boys have been charged. We know who they are because they are organized.

Rudy went into court with these affidavits and the judge asked him "are you alleging fraud", and his answer was no.

This was also in court. It was thrown out as baseless.

Since you have such low information about the election, this means that upwards of 68% of the ballots were manually changed, usually by offshore entities, because they needed to be "fixed".

It has not been proven. Those voting machines have been looked at. The GOP was given access to look them over but nothing has come from that.

After seeing what has happened the last four years it is no wonder so many tuned out to vote this year.

Well, there is no doubt it has been real in the past and could be real in
the present and future. However, disposing of freedom of speech and nonviolence paves the way to make another rise of fascism much, much easier rather than more difficult. That, I believe, is a large fallicy in their thinking and methods.

A lack of freedom of speech and a rise in violence are friends of fascism,
not enemies.

it really depends on your definition of organization. there's no central power structure. you have people who decide to organize, and antifa is a set of tactics and beliefs they take. they may communicate between groups, but a group isn't going to encompass much more than a city. nobody's deciding who is and isn't allowed to call themselves 'antifa.'

Somehow you have reminded me of Basque elections.

Maybe the counting was fair but it was certainly not free. Kale Borroka dudes would hunt down and beat the candidates that didn't follow the acceptable party line. If your party didn't endorse the Marxist Republic of Basque Lands you basically had a harder time than everybody else because you risked a brick in your teeth everybody you opened your mouth.

Violent BLM activists, antifas and whatever you want to call them sound to me a lot like an embrionary American Kale Borroka. Which is what I find deeply troubling.

The main reason voter fraud conspiracies are so credible is because if the left is willing to sponsor this sort of activities, it is easy to believe they are willing to rig vote counts or do whatever it takes to grab the throne. I don't doubt for a single second they wanted to rig the process. The real question is whether they had the capability to do so :-)

Whether there was a lot, a little or no organized rigging, I am confident a lot of spontaneous irregularities will be found and heads will roll.

You claim it is a thing, if so where is it, what is it?

As I (and deepthaw and others) have explained, they are not a top-down organization, so there is not necessarily a "where is it?" It is a
vertically organized group, meaning they have no central leadership figure. Someone sends out the message, on social media or the dark web, and their
peeps just show up.

I don't see an antifa group we can investigate or charge with anything in the me way as groups like the KKK or the proud boys.

The KKK and, I assume, Proud Boys are organizations with a leadership structure. Because a group has no leadership structure does not mean that
they don't exist, especially if they are a group that advocates anarchy... having a central leader for a true anarchy group would be a bit
hypocritical, no?

The BLM protests were not an armed standoff, it was simply a march, a large one, in many cities across America.

It became a right/left issue and that is when the violence/looting/riots started.

That may remain an issue or not. Time will tell.

There likely are irregularities and when found solutions are needed for them. I see no rigging of elections and not even talk of such things until Donald Trump was at the podium. He was speaking that way even before any vote took place.

I find the voter fraud conspiracies incredible. The left is not now and neve was, sponsoring these sorts of activities.

If you look closely at the matter, sides have been clearly taken in this regard.

When the Right was asking for thigns to stop, the Left was tagging the taking of neighbourhoods by rioters as peaceful protests. When the Right was deploying policies to bring disorder to an end, the Left was shielding their rioter stormtroopers from these policies.

The occupation in Seattle only ended when the useful idiots started bothering the local politicians and local Dems decided it were more trouble than they were worth, not before.

As I have said, the situation looked like local powers were trying to bait the federal government into doing something drastic to restore order, in order to blame Washington for the consequences.

So given this sort of scenario, it is easy to believe Democrats were willing to do things such as rigging election software, shipping fraudulent ballots and, in general, doing whatever it takes to grab the throne - I think we have sufficient evidence of WILL already.

Now, did they have the MEANS? Yesterday the showed me a video of a witness declaring in front of senators and giving a list of names of people aware of irregularities and explaining the sort of weird stuff she witnessed. If she is proved to be lying she will be grinded into mincemeat, so at the very least these declarations (and a lot of others) should be carefully considered. So, in my opinion, if they weren't able to pull a megafraud at national level, my hunch is that a number of people actually tried to rig the thing in a number
of counties.

Which is why a number of States is unwilling to certify the results of their own elections and why the electoral process is far from over to this day.

Re: Re: Leftist rioters
By: Arelor to Al on Fri Dec 18 2020 10:30 am

When the Right was asking for thigns to stop, the Left was tagging the taking of neighbourhoods by rioters as peaceful protests. When the Right was deploying policies to bring disorder to an end, the Left was shielding their rioter stormtroopers from these policies.

Was the right asking things to stop? Was the left asking things to continue?

The protests were not about the left or right. It was a BLM protest largely about black people being killed at the hands of police without justification.

In the early days these protests turned into riots in some cases that caused large amounts of death and destruction. This was not planned by the left. The root cause of those protests needs to be addressed so the BLM movement doesn't need to march in the streets in the hopes that they will not be killed by police.

Police departments need to take seriously the actions of police officers and the justice system the consequences of bad behaviour or we continue as it is.

The occupation in Seattle only ended when the useful idiots started bothering the local politicians and local Dems decided it were more trouble than they were worth, not before.

The city of Seattle choose to give it time to settle down. I don't know if that was the right thing to do or not but it is no longer an issue.

As I have said, the situation looked like local powers were trying to bait the federal government into doing something drastic to restore order, in order to blame Washington for the consequences.

States have the option to call in federal help if they want/need it. No one is baiting anyone.

So given this sort of scenario, it is easy to believe Democrats were willing to do things such as rigging election software, shipping fraudulent ballots and, in general, doing whatever it takes to grab the throne - I think we have sufficient evidence of WILL already.

I don't know what in the above leads you to believe "Democrats were willing to do things such as rigging election software" or "shipping fraudulent ballots".

There is NO evidence.

Now, did they have the MEANS? Yesterday the showed me a video of a witness declaring in front of senators and giving a list of names of people aware of irregularities and explaining the sort of weird stuff she witnessed. If she is proved to be lying she will be grinded into mincemeat, so at the very least these declarations (and a lot of others) should be carefully considered. So, in my opinion, if they weren't able to pull a megafraud at national level, my hunch is that a number of people actually tried to rig the thing in a number of counties.

There are many videos showing many things. What we don't have is proof.

Which is why a number of States is unwilling to certify the results of their own elections and why the electoral process is far from over to this day.

Every state has certified the election results, the electoral college has certified the election results.

The republicans will continue to deny the truth but it has been established.

The KKK and, I assume, Proud Boys are organizations with a leadership structure. Because a group has no leadership structure does not mean that
they don't exist, especially if they are a group that advocates anarchy..
having a central leader for a true anarchy group would be a bit hypocritical, no?

So there is no group but these "antifa" exist. I don't see anti fascism or any
ntifa (whatever that is) is any big threat. Just because Donald Trump tweets "
tifa" or "Obamagate", doesn't make it a so.

Groups exists. They do not have an organized leadership structure.
Neither do most unruly mobs but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

The difference is that your definition of a group is that they must have a leader. Mine does not.

His statements are also misleading. In this area, the "peaceful protest"
riots were over a sad state of affairs, but it was a sad state of affairs
that could have been avoided had someone in the apartment not shot at the police first.

Although several other aspects of the case were at various times disputed,
that one (that the police were shot at first) has never been one of them.

On night one in Minneapolis it turned into a riot and there was large amounts of destruction. The police building was destroyed. There were riots and destruction in other places too, I know this. The fact is that most protests have been peaceful.

The allegation that black people are being killed by police without justificat

ed.

If we want the protests and riots to stop we need to solve that issue.

The incidents that lead to the most local "peaceful protest" riots both involved the person being killed, or their boyfriend, shooting at the
Police first. The Police returned fire. Those leading the "peaceful
protest" riots believe that returning fire when you are fired upon is not justified if you are a cop and the person firing at you is not white. That
is the root cause of many businesses in downtown Louisville, Kentucky,
either being looted, destroyed, or boarded up this Summer.

That is, that is the supposed root cause. The actual root cause is that
people on the not right and not center portion of the political spectrum
saw an opportunity to start trouble... but that cannot really be true
because the left never does stuff like that. They are always peaceful.

Let another "leftist" address those topics.

Fake news is Trump's pet term for anything unflattering to him, which he hijacked from people trying to find a politically correct term for propaganda and lying coming from Trump.

Vote fraud is real and statistically insignificant. Trump didn't win because the Russians hacked anything, although their misinformation campaign probably helped. Americans voted for him of their own free will. Similarly, Biden didn't win because of some massive vote fraud conspiracy. He won because Trump is historically unpopular and we saw record turnout. It takes a ridiculous amount of self-delusion to look at the sheer volume of hatred aimed towards him and refuse to accept he could have lost an election.

Extremists exist on both sides, and are often so far extreme that "left" or "right" fails to encapsulate them at that point. I know plenty of progressives I've formerly called friends I no longer speak to because they've gone off the deep end. If you think AOC or the rest of "the squad" are extremists, you haven't seen squat.

"Leftist" riot seems to insinuate anything ostensibly related to BLM. The majority of that was protests, which don't get reported on because they're uninteresting. The riots were the result of either: people on the left with years of frustration boiling over (not right but understandable) people on the right who were there to stir up racial tensions (the boogaloo crowd) and what I believe most of them fall into, people who are just pieces of shit and took advantage of the situation to cause chaos and destruction because they wanted to steal shit and stick it to the man (whoever he was that day.)



Group != organized group. That's why people keep talking about leadership structures. A lot of people claiming to be antifa don't even seem to be aware of the pre-existing definition I spoke about which calls for active violence and suppression of fascism. Nobody's gatekeeping antifa, so anybody can call themselves antifa. Thus some groups are violent, some groups aren't. What they aren't is well-organized or some kind of existential threat to the nation.

Yes, the riots over the Summer. It was right above the line you quoted,
and I think I know that you can read.

The thing is that riots didn't have to be the result. Louisville had "peaceful protest" riots and looting, while other cities in the area had actual peaceful protests. Areas that are more "tollerant" had trouble. Areas that are not did not.

In this case there are many things below the surface that can boil up and the xt thing you know you have a riot. It is a complex problem and the solutions m

Looks pretty easy to me.

-- If you live in an area where people know the law will crack down on them
for looting and destroying property, you have very few problems with looting and property destruction. You instead have peaceful protests where
community leaders are more likely to show up and people actually have their voices heard.

-- If you live in an area with a history of left-leaning politics, and being soft on people who excercise their "freedom of expression" by looting and destruction, you are going to have more looting and destruction. No one
who can actually listen and help is going to show up because they don't
want to be beat up. They might be dumb enough to call it a "peaceful
protest," but they're smart enough not to be there as long as it is
dangerous.

In the latter case, the same people who are either out tearing the
city down, or that support the activity, will be on TV some time in the future complaining about how all the businesses have moved out to the suburbs (or
out of town) and downtown is crumbling. Well, DUH!

The term "fake news" existed long before Trump even started running for President. When I first heard it, his only political experience was as a character on The Simpsons. "Russian collusion" and "peaceful protests" are both much, much newer phrases than "fake news."

You need to find a way to explain that to Al, but be sure to use very small words and be prepared for lots of contradiction.

"Leftist" riot seems to insinuate anything ostensibly related to BLM. The major
ty of that was protests, which don't get reported on because they're uninterest
ng.

The actual peaceful protests were reported on in this area, too. I live between two big towns. One town does not have a history of putting up with stupidity. There, they had actual peaceful protesting, very little (if any) rioting, and likely got some good discussion out of the issues. Community leaders weren't afraid to participate.

The other town has a different history. There, they had "peaceful protest" riots that were destructive on Day 1. No bad righties showing up to stir them into it. As soon as it got nice and dark, they started tearing everything up.

The riots were the result of either: people on the left with years of frustr >ation boiling over (not right but understandable) people on the right who were >here to stir up racial tensions (the boogaloo crowd) and what I believe most of
them fall into, people who are just pieces of shit and took advantage of the si
uation to cause chaos and destruction because they wanted to steal shit and sti
k it to the man (whoever he was that day.)

In the local case, third option. Maybe some first option folks who think
the Police don't have a right to defend themselves when fired on.

ifa. Thus some groups are violent, some groups aren't. What they aren't is well
organized or some kind of existential threat to the nation.

Tell that to people who have lost property, or property value, or their
loved ones, to these nonthreatening folks.

False Leftie Narrative. The facts don't show anything of the kind.

This fact is pretty clear.

You cut it out of the last message I wrote you on this topic but here it is again. The violent, leftist riots in this part of the country were after
the cops RETURNED FIRE in two different instances. In the first one, the shooters girlfriend was killed and, in the second one, after the riots had already started, the gunman was killed.

To a leftist, a cop returing fire is probably not justified, but to most of
the rest of us it is. I can remember when shooting at cops used to be
called "suicide by cop," as in the person wanted to die and just couldn't
kill themselves.

Now it is a reason to burn the inner city down.

Nationally, the other instances, without fail, seemed to involve other
things I was told never to do to/with a cop unless I wanted to go to jail
or wanted an assisted suicide. I somehow doubt these latest instances were used as teaching moments for anything of the sort.

In the first one, the shooters girlfriend was killed and, in the second one, after the riots had already started, the gunman was killed.

This is an entirely different thing where someone fired on police when he thought they were intruders in his home when it was in fact police serving a no knock warrant. These cops were at the wrong address. This is another instance of people being killed without any kind of justification at all.

I can't speak for leftists but there can be times when a cop has to kill or injure someone who is a threat to themselves or others. Suicide by cop is another totally different thing not related to what I was talking about. It is a real thing too, just not what I was saying.

Now it is a reason to burn the inner city down.

I don't know why the protests turned into riots. An angry mob is a possibility.

Nationally, the other instances, without fail, seemed to involve other things I was told never to do to/with a cop unless I wanted to go to jail or wanted an assisted suicide. I somehow doubt these latest instances were used as teaching moments for anything of the sort.

If you do certain things or behave in a certain way your chances of being arrested or killed by police increase with those activities. I don't recommend that.

What I am talking about is the bad behaviour of police that can end with injury or death of people who did not deserve that.

No knock warrants and suicide by cop are all debatable subjects, but that is not what I am talking about.

did exactly that. They *ALL* did certain things or behaved in a certain
way which resulted in the police action.

actually caused the injury/death. Yup.

t they were intruders in his home when it was in fact police serving a no knock
warrant. These cops were at the wrong address. This is another instance of peop
e being killed without any kind of justification at all.

That actually was how it was initially reported but turned out not to be
true.

(1) they were serving a no-knock, but witnesses in other apartments claimed they did indeed knock and announce.
(2) they were not at the wrong address -- they went to that address on
purpose believing that the ex-girlfriend was "holding" evidence (either drugs, guns, and/or money) for the person that the press originally reported they
were looking for. The "originally reported" person was indeed in custody, but the person they were really looking for was there.

They had reason to believe she was holding as they had "Bonnie and Clyde"
style photos from social media that showed her posing with guns and money.

The new boyfriend shot at, and wounded, one of the cops, causing them to
return fire. One of the cops shot wildly into other dwellings and has
since been charged. Although it has been controversial with members of the community, no other policeman had been charged last I heard.

There is still an active movement to do away with no-knock warrants. In
most cases, I agree they are not warranted.

I can't speak for leftists but there can be times when a cop has to kill or inj
re someone who is a threat to themselves or others. Suicide by cop is another t
tally different thing not related to what I was talking about. It is a real thi
g too, just not what I was saying.

What I am saying is that I was taught shooting at cops = suicide by cop, no matter what. Nowadays, people don't seem to see it like that and, if a cop returns fire, it isn't the original shooters fault.

If you do certain things or behave in a certain way your chances of being arres
ed or killed by police increase with those activities. I don't recommend that.

What I am talking about is the bad behaviour of police that can end with injury
or death of people who did not deserve that.

I am aware of no examples of someone being injured or killed by the police
over this Summer that were not participating in, or were not with someone participating in, some of those "things and behaviors" that can end in "being arrested or killed" that you speak of -- resisting arrest,
brandishing weapons, shooting at cops, etc.

Re: Supreme Court Rejects Pennsylvania Lawsuit
By: Hobo to All on Wed Dec 09 2020 11:53 am

So.... The Supreme Court won't entertain the idea that the election was stolen in Pennsylvania. This decison makes it next to impossible for Trump to prevail in his bid to overturn the election.

I've been saying since the election that there was a very simple way for everyone to know with certainty whether there were any shenanigans going on with the election, and that was to watch the Supreme Court.

Why have I been saying this? Because 6 of the 9 justices are conservative, and 3 of those were appointed by Trump himself. If there was sufficient fraud to overturn this election, the Supreme Court would have dealt with it. We know from precedent (Bush/Gore 2000) that they'll get involved if need be.

Even though the court leans so heavily to the right, I fully expected them to not touch this.

Why? Because the only real fraud is the claims of fraud. The only one really trying to steal the election is Trump. I know many of his supporters wish it weren't so... but wishing don't make reality.

Anyone agree or disagree?

-Hobo

I think it has more to do with everyone involved not wanting to be anywhere near this. It's about keeping the peace over political allegiances.

The antifa creed of sorts I saw them espousing at the earliest was a basic belief that fascism is real, it's an existential threat, and it can happen here - therefor freedom of speech and nonviolence can be disposed of if the purpose is keeping fasc from taking hold because the risks are too great.

Aka:

We opose fascism. Therefore, we must establish our own brand of fascism and we are justified in establishing our own brand of fascism in order to prevent the rise of fascism.

There is no contradiction in that.

You can't make someone driven by the convictions of their own richeousness see that giving into their base urges is wrong. They are drunk on the power of their thoughts.

That makes it sound more organized then I really think it is. I seriously think that it's easier to think of it as silos that share an ideology but act individually. So in that aspect much more like terrorists then the traditional idea of a gang, but many gangs work in cells.

Because you're the arbiter of what is and isn't "The Left"?

Are we talking about the authoritarian left or the liberal left? Surely the people involved in the riots and protests over these non-descript problems surely share some leftist ideology.

This is the exact shit enlightened leftists like yourself pulled with that entire GamerGate debackle bck in 2015. Shift the narrative, redefine the terms, dissociate with all radical elements while painting your political rivals as nothing but extremeists.

It's not healthy to the ability for either side to communicate effectively and by trying to win some sort of ideological argument you aren't actally reaching me with your points.

To someone like me, it is semantics, because while I agree with your general notion, your tone and way of leading the argument reaks of "No it's actually this way because I'm better then you and my farts smell awesome. Wana sniff?"

A lot of people on the right feel that way trying to talk to people on the left, I think it's one of the major sources on contention between the two groups.

Ummm. Social Justics courses, human resources, the ADL, other
Provda outlets that churn out regressive and inflamed articles?

Hello?

Gamer?

Hello? Gamer? Learn how to read/post, wouldja? The text above that
you quoted was a conversation between "Al" and "Arelor", and I wrote
none of that. Not sure why you replied to me. Please try harder.

I was intending to reply to Al and Arelor, I used one of your
posts to quote them, forgot to change the names away from you to
one of them, simple and honest mistake from posting too quickly.

Why would you use my post and then need to remember to change the
names? You replied to what "Al" posted, so just reply to his message
and there's no need to change names. Simple, huh?

I'm sure you've made that mistake before at least once in your
life, so in that instance I would hope you understand.

Actually, no, I have never made that mistake, so there is no "that instance". Good try, though. Well, mediocre try, anyway.

Well, I was thinking about kicking your ass for talking all that shit.

It's like I said, I plan on squatting / going full hobo. By that time I might have over my life time been able to mooch enough to get myself a trailer and move out to that lawless garbage city in the desert of california with no laws. I'll get satalite internet and solar panels/alternative energy sources.

Shit, by 2050, I'm sure energy technology will advance enough for me to squeeze by on trash and duck tape.
