More Jackbooted Thuggery As Protests Turn Violent At NYU

RE: More Jackbooted Thuggery As Protests Turn Violent At NYU
These idiots need to stop. Any damage they do to their opposition is far outweighed by the damage they do to their own cause, and that's not even addressing the wrongness of turning to violence before one has exhausted non-violent means to addressing the issue at hand.

Something about Nietchze and becoming the monster springs to mind.

Its like shouting "Your a nice person" at someone and meaning it as an insult.

The instant you add the qualifier, social, it isn't really justice anymore. True justice doesn't respect status, allegiance, or group membership. Justice should favor neither the rich nor the poor. It should favor neither the leader nor the outcast. Justice must be impartial and never qualified.

Quote:Social justice is the fair and just relation between the individual and society. This is measured by the explicit and tacit terms for the distribution of wealth, opportunities for personal activity and social privileges. In Western as well as in older Asian cultures, the concept of social justice has often referred to the process of ensuring that individuals fulfill their societal roles and receive what was their due from society

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_justice

Given the above definition I have no problem with social justice.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

When even the likes of a Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia understands the First Amendment doesn't mean anything if it doesn't protect unpopular speech, is it too much to expect that it otta be damn hard to round up enough people to deface a phone booth, let alone to shut down an entire university ??
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

This is why protests need to be organized rather than reactionary. And really it isn't that hard. Especially when we have historic figures to look to. Look at John Lewis and the SNCC. Their non-violent movement had a mission statement printed out and handed to each member. They were literally on the same page. They even held mocked up scenarios where members would scream at you to practice keeping calm.

Not to get too conspiratorial, but it's a good idea to have a badge or some unifying element, if not a full on uniform to protect the protest from sabotage from a plant. It may sound dumb and paranoid, but it's a fact that the easiest way to discredit a protest is to change the narrative from the core message to "these people are breaking stuff", and all it takes is one person to poison the well.

Also Hi everybody!
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Hey Thump! Things are good, considering. Last time I was here Trump wasn't in charge and the Alt-Right wasn't a thing. Thought I'd swing by and see what the word was. How's it been?

Wait were crying over Gavin Mcinnes the douche bag who once said the only tragedy of parliamentary  attack was Trudeau wasn't killed before becoming prime minster .The guy who supported locking up the premier of Alberta .The who calls himself a  western chauvinist . The who writes for rebel media. An extremist right wing site that censors and threatens journalists who criticize them. The site that runs there comments section like a soviet gulag. The site owned by a man who at rallies quietly has people removed for not cheering loudly enough because "They must be liberals trying to disrupt the rally". The man who is a die hard  supporter of  Steve Harper a man who muzzled scientist on  climate change. Blacked out the press gallery .And gagged his own MP's . And shut down parliament to avoid having to answer questions on weather Canadian troops were handing over prisoners to  be tortured . This is man who is crying about censorship and freedom of speech

Fuck him

What's up, Exian!?!
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Yo! Steeeeel! Not much man, just needed to inject a little sanity (or... whatever) into my Internet consumption, in light of things. Is everything good? Has everyone been behaving accordingly?
