Can we have a new forum heading 'For the unhinged' and move the crazy posts into this part of the forum.

Jury convicts Florida man who issued 'call to arms' against Trump supporters
Daniel Baker of Florida was found guilty on charges of threatening to kidnap or injure others. In his post, Baker said he planned to let the pro-Trump protesters fight the police, then confront them once they made their way inside the state capitol building. "We will drive them [pro-Trump protesters] out of Tallahassee with every caliber available. They are staging an armed takeover so only an armed community can stop them! We can win! We have a duty to and a duty to win," Baker also said in his post. No such gathering occurred. However, Baker had bought an AK-47 style semi-automatic rifle and ammunition. He faces up to 10 years in prison and a $500,000 fine.

Trigger Warning "The cops should have opened up with automatic fire and mowed the lot of them down" . April 16, 2021 . calling for slaughter of unarmed protesters . same thinks most cops are racist and does not want Americans to have guns . Difficult to believe all of these together .

From the latter videos it seems that BLM has more white than black members, which is odd. Are these antifa oddballs?

As the significant majority of all Americans approved of the BLM protests. They were white people who recognise but abhor racism. Only extreme white, right wing people trot out the Antifa bogeyman comment when they dont like something. It is getting increasingly boring.

BLM is, in my opinion, more or less a terrorist group. Eliminating racism? A great idea. Despite the opinions of many here, pretty much every relevant statistic bears out that America has a great deal of racism built in, both structurally and culturally.

The way that BLM is going about it, however, is as a terrorist organization. People are afraid to disagree with it for fear of being labeled racist. Police-free zone in Seattle? Absurd. I wonder how business owners in that zone feel about it. If I were a bank manager in that zone, I'd just close. Yes, it's true that the anti-war movement in the 1960s and 1970s was ultimately successful. However, that was almost entirely a non-violent movement. BLM should rethink its approach to making things better for its supposed constituency if that is truly its goal. Of course, now that the financial shenanigans of one of its founders and current leaders has been exposed, there may be more to it than simply eliminating racism.

Udon,

BLM is not uniform across the whole USA, These activists in Seattle are well over the top and should be subject to the same rule of law as the Jan 6 mob. If the leaders break the law or incite violence, lock 'em up, but let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater, BLM has had an impact on the USA more than anything since MLK, its not all bad.

And that takes some doing.

You must hate the fact that your country labeled the Proud Boys a terrorist organization. And I'm guessing that you think the "non black" individuals protesting with BLM are traitors.

No it doesn't.
The leftist idealogues simply need to come up with an excuse why their Civil Rights policies, created ostensibly to help people, merely drove them deeper into dependence and into the unshakable, generational, welfare state. The left needs a reason why their policies are failures across the board. Hanging this dumpster fire on successful white people, and successful Asians, and successful (any sorts) isn't going to work. If the leftists would pull their heads out, stop trying to play Santa Clause, and admit the best way to lift the black community ios not with more handouts, but some self respect, some families that don't fall apart at the first obstacle, some high school graduation rates above 50 percent, some teenage pregnancy rates below 50 percent, lower crime rates, lower rates of drug addiction, and a lot less, "Aw, poor baby, It's not your fault, it's all the fault of those smart, rich white people!"

BLM has done far more to cement racist stereotypes than bridge any divide. O'Bobo the Messiah started this ball rolling with his Cambridge Police gaff just months into his presidency.

The US educational system is busy making every American is ashamed of their history -- Self-loathing liberal white guilt. Shameful and dispicable.

You are on the wrong track with LYM, Ken.

He is certainly conservative, based on his posting history, but that is based upon (as I see it) his values and intellectual assessment.

There is nothing wrong with that - he is entitled to his views.

Please don't put words into his mouth.

Your assessment seems to be based on very little evidence, and an overdose of presumption.

So if you're white and you march with BLM it's odd and you must be an antifa oddball, his words, not mine.

What are you nattering on about? I know next to nothing about the Proud Boys in Canada. If they have been excommunicated, it's fine with me. Why would I think anyone in BLM is a traitor? Do you have any inkling of what the word 'traitor' means? Good luck in finding a meaningful purpose in life.

Why would it be odd for somebody white marching with BLM? That was your comment. And I would like to think I have a purpose in life. And if you don't even know what's going on in your own country, why worry about the USA?

The Social Justice Warrior creed is difficult for mere mortals to deconstruct.

It has deeply-rooted origins in Daddy Love, participation trophies, New Math and gay sex.

Yes, all factors are in play.

Where I come from BLM stands for the Bureau Of Land Management and is generally disliked for its bureaucratic incompetence. The other BLM is seen as a over statement of the obvious but who’s leaders should be punished for unlawful antics. Outside of the BS headlines and the inner city shat show life in 99% of America goes on as normal.

It took me a while, but I have learned that you lack the ability to consider seriously positions different from yours. That's why there's no point in responding substantively to your post.
