Absolutely! Police have largely been abusing their power and getting away with it for years, by higher ups looking the other way and the public giving them the benefit of the doubt for too long. Finally, society is starting to question their actions, and now you have people like David Clarke, and many politicians to the right straight up calling BLM terrorists. Nowadays if you call for police to be held accountable for their actions (like anyone else)... all of a sudden you're anti-cop/criminal sympathizer. Of course that's pure BS, but that's the world we're living in.
You see the conservatives have been getting their marching orders from radio talk shows and people buy into the radio shows bs.
Right, but we're only supposed to view Islamic extremism as a threat, even when the FBI listed right-wing white extremism as the most serious threat of political violence and the biggest domestic killer prior to 9/11.
Hell yes CNN is Leftist. I didn't see it but curious what the spin was. Sympathy for the innocent Cops? Let me know. I love RT (even if it is Russian). It reminds me of Aussie and BBC News style reporting. I listen to Al Jazeera only in snippets when l listen to NPR Or come across it via other outlets.. * * * * * * * * * Colibruh, Fox News has nothing to do with me calling the "mainstream media Leftist. As a news junkie, I watch both sides and in between. I am thoroughly disgusted at what gets reported and what doesn't. There is no balance with Leftist media anymore. Their blatant political pandering, ordered no doubt by their Conglomerate puppet-masters, has reduced what was once a proud profession, to paid political hacks. And it's dismaying. l truly used to RESPECT American Reporters and their hunger to uncover ( l was even going to become one), but their defunct investigative skills (desires) has sickenly lead to the near death of American independent Journalism. So if any don't want to be called out as DNC stoolies, they need to stop funneling interview and debate questions to the Lefty Candidate, stop wishing the Righty Candidate "would die" , and start reporting the dann news as it happens, and not bury or spin it.
How were they RIGHT-WING? They're anti-law enforcement (wasnt that an FBI Building blown up?) Using that mind-frame, should we then say the greatest threat to police are "Left-Wing Black Extremist" nut jobs?
No. They actually called him out as the racist pig, cop-murderer that he is. He isn't crazy..he's a crazed-killer.
The extreme (racialist, nationalist) right-wing is hostile to law enforcement as a representative of (their view) the Jewish-controlled, financial, New World Order, rather than a racialist, white-centric world order. In their view, law enforcement is to be used against the "foes" of whiteness.
There are as many factions and viewpoints as there are individuals. Broadly speaking, there are groups willing to use violence on both ends of the spectrum (left: revolutionary communist. right: fascism, race-nationalism, etc)/ The far right see law enforcement as disloyal to white supremacy, because they (as representatives of the State) uphold a globalist order that places capital, rather than whiteness, atop the social order. This is consistent with the theory (generally speaking) of the militia movement, White Christian Identity organizations, White Citizens Council, et al.
Interesting viewpoint. Though l disagree the Militia movement is pro-white. I think they are simply anti-govt (in their lives). I believe any "race" would be welcome if they believed in their doctrine. I could be wrong, though. When you stated earlier that, "we're only supposed to view Islamic extremism as a threat, even when the FBI listed right-wing white extremism as the most serious threat of political violence and the biggest domestic killer prior to 9/11." l don't feel our Govt is sleeping on Amercan extremists because l read about thwarted arrests often. And the fact is today, Islamic terrorists ARE a huge threat. No one has said they're the only one, however.
Contemporary political discourse in the US is almost solely focused on the perceived threat posed by Muslim extremism. When the FBI warned of the danger to the nation posed by right-wing extremism and the highest death toll being a result of white racialist activities, I don't remember anything comparable to the War on Terror being waged to crack down on racialist, right-wing movements. Hundreds dead, but no demand that white conservatives report or inform on the reactionaries among them, no travel bans, no round-the-clock discussion, opposition to their building churches/community centers, etc. This is not intended to minimize the threat posed by Islamic extremism, but to show that not all groups receive the same treatment. As for the militia movement, it rose in direct response to the white right-wing reaction to the Ruby Ridge and Waco incidents (the same incidents that inspired Timothy McVeigh, by his own admission). The ADL (admittedly not the only authority or source, but a noted tracker of these movements) considers the militia movement a variant of a racialist organization. While I am sure there are some non-white members somewhere out there, its members largely have their origins in the White Christian Identity movement and the militia is the muscular expression of their ideology, particularly the "take our country back" themes.
Man Tariq Nasheed just broke down the backstory & the real goals of these militia groups on his Ustream show earlier this week: (Skip to the 5:05 mark): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4CM9qMxbnQ [YOUTUBE]w4CM9qMxbnQ[/YOUTUBE]
The Daily Mail is a fucking tabloid. ...and there's no such thing as a liberal news outlet in the US. CNN, MSNBC or any other organization that you would laughably describe as "liberal" all have a slew of Conservative commentators on staff and have multi-national corporations for parent companies that control the on air message.
No, you don't believe that. You're being deliberately obtuse. What the fuck do you think these people are saying when yell about "wanting their country back" or "making America great again"?
If this were a serious statement and a genuine demonstration of your ignorance of political orientations, you would have no business engaging in any political discussion. Of course, we both know that it isn't. You're playing stupid because your contrarian position to the original points raised in this thread is not defensible.
Exactly! They're only anti-government when the goverment is wanting to do what's right for the masses which of course includes people of color. They sure as heck aren't anti-government when we're in other countries (especially the middle east) blowing up shit. It's so obvious that the America they want back is the one where people like us were own by people like them, and the Jim Crow laws era. The Civil Rights era got their panties all in a bunch, Obama becoming POTUS really got them in a fit, and now Trump has made it cool for them bring their crap out into the open. If that's not it... I need for someone to explain when exactly was the last time America was great.
This. The true liberal news outlets are independent news outlets like "The Young Turks" and "Democracy Now!".
