[Serious] Far-Right Extremism Is a Global Problem

[The Architect Of Fate]

Serial killers are peaceful 99 percent of the time. So what?

You missed the point completely. I was saying 99% of BLM protests were peaceful with violent actors being a small minority who were condemned.

I couldn't read your washington post link because it says I have to sign up. I know that you can't just educate those current supremacists and change their minds. You focus on the younger generations and hope they turn out better. And to respond to the Grand Nudger's post, the US never tried to educate the Iraqis. They just wanted to stay there forever and take their resources. It's not surprising that the Iraqis didn't take kindly to that "education". Education does work because clearly the US and other western countries are way less racist than they used to be. I actually think the theory that a reduction in racism leads

Education won't solve racism and racism wasn't solved in the western world education either so 

Bret Weinstein and his wife explain in this video 

That video is bullshit 

Nothing will solve police brutality. There are always going to be flawed and defective officers on the job who take out their anger on citizens or even well intentioned officers that make really bad decisions. You can only try to fight police brutality. Not solve it.

It won't even fight  police brutality so your just splitting hairs.

So again a diatribe of worthless prattle

A wonderful example of the failures of education.  Presumably, we all here have a western education, they got to us when we were young.  That doesn't stop us from believing in strange things like white supremacy, or that the us was shaking down iraq for it's resources.  Equally inexplicable, the notion that we're less racist™..today..in a thread about the rise of global right wing extremism.

Education is great and all, but with respect to extremists, it just produces better educated extremists.  People who can actually build ieds or capture then command an abusive and sprawling infrastructure - rather than those who impotently dream about it.  People who understand which psychological levers to pull and how to tailor their propaganda to a specific audience, rather than stumps who put on their nazi cosplay regalia and damage their brand.  Education is a tool, and like any tool, it's value neutral.  Good and bad people find equal use in education when it comes to furthering their aims - and with respect to global extremism, the capture of education is itself an aim.  The reason for this being plainly apparent.  We don't live in a world where dumb extremism can succeed.  They have to replace all of the educated people who oppose them with educated extremists in order for their dream society to be more than just a dream.  In order for the trains to run on time.

History is full of brilliant racists and that's sad
