After "Berkeley Beat-Down," Antifa Wants Combat Training, Guns

Embarrassed on their own turf, the radical left is pushing to arm themselves and seek out weapons training to combat the alt-right.

Last week Trump supporters and leftist social justice warriors met on the political field of battle in Berkeley, California. Words were exchanged, as were punches. And while an alt-right leader was punched in the face, by all accounts even the social justice warriors admit that they got a major beat-down.

This prompted a reddit discussion among the left’s tolerant resistance movement, with many asking how they can more effectively go to war against anyone who disagrees with their social, political, and economic views.

I love the second to last comment, a lone voice of reason.

This is troubling to say the least, but if they go about getting their guns legally not much can be done.

They couldn’t get their race war going before their leader left, so now they want a civil war.

Yeah, no. These are the same people that previously gave anyone hell for defending the 2nd Amendment, including LGBT people and women wanting to protect themselves.

The people that make up ANTIFA are the social outcast loser kids that got beat up and picked on at school. These are the kind of people that fantasize about violently striking back at everyone who ever made fun of them. They’re NOT mentally stable, they’re bitter, and this is the excuse for turning violent that they’ve always DREAMED of. They’ve always been the ones most likely to go full Columbine, and now they see an opportunity since they’ve realized that literally NO ONE sees them as a threat, and they’re a bunch of punk-ass kids that can’t fight for shit.

They realized they ain’t shit without weapons, so now they suddenly support the right to bear arms. What a bunch of fucking hypocrites.

Funny how people who are extremely pro-second amendment are now shitting themselves over antifa arming themselves. It’s almost as if this wasn’t ever about guns, but about power. Now that antifa are realising what they need to do, their opponents are getting scared, scared because they know there’s nothing they can do to win.

Can I send you the $7,000,000 bill when Charles Murray, whose reaction to his findings was to suggest instituting a basic income, which is pretty much the opposite of systematically murdering people, gets shot by one of your idiots?

Because that’s what this is about.

You guys can’t even avoid pepper-spraying people wearing bitcoin hats and destroying cars belonging to immigrants. Your Nazi-dar is apparently complete trash judging by its results. If you can’t even avoid physically assaulting people that aren’t Nazis with non-lethal weapons because you’re so obsessed with “punchin’ Natzis!”, then it’s almost inevitable that random people are going to get killed in this misguided quest to become revolutionaries.

This goes double over the obsession of characterizing speech you guys disagree with as a form of “violence” in order to excuse this behavior.

The problem of “militant tactics just turn public opinion against you and galvanize the state” is really just a PR problem as far as I’m concerned. The problem isn’t the militant tactics themselves but the failure of propagandists to adequately explain and justify those tactics to the audience.

Hah, then you have decades of work to do before you fire a single bullet, m8.

Bad tactics aren’t always guaranteed to result in bad results long-term, it’s true, but…

People were warned, for years, that bad tactics would eventually cause bad results. Now we have the Orange Presidency, the antibiotic resistant bacteria that was foretold by those shouted down as themselves racist for advising some restraint. That was part of what made those tactics bad in the first place.

I’ve been feeling schadenfreude since November 9, 2016.

Oh my goodness, I thought the Alt Right was making this up somehow!

Oh my goodness, I may have to draw a reaction image.

This is like… they just walked right into it, more than walked, like a cat bounding straight into a glass door with a leap. I’m trying not to react but I can’t help it.

Liberal pundits are over-focused on proving that Trump is a dishonest idiot, and under-focused on why being a a dishonest idiot *matters*.

mitigatedchaos

Pundits are usually trash. Focusing on the meta would out them as dishonest idiots for their trashy ideological cheerleading.

I hope the corrupt officials of the Earth Sphere Federation throw every Globalist in jail for meaningless political crimes. Because that’s where this ends. But they’ll throw me in instead. If there is one world government, there can be no place for me.

An Earth Federation will not allow cultural enclaves that might challenge its power, that exclude people it politically favors. It won’t allow that kind of gated community, much less a full-blown city-state. And there will be nowhere to go except Space.

The statuary source of that executive order from 8 U.S.C. 1182(f) is … pretty broad and far reaching:

Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President
Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate. […]

There seems to be no Congressional check at all on that power? The president can basically shut down entry into the US as he pleases, effective immediately and indefinitely? This seems kind of excessive.

there might be a number of situations where granting excessive powers to the executive branch begins to feel like an error in hindsight.

Anonymous asked:

that's sex workers operating in a secure setting designed to parody courtship priming

sinesalvatorem answered:

And, like, phoneworkers and people in brothels; both of which might be considered “secure”, but neither of which is really an imitation of anything like courtship.

Sure, there’s intimacy, because this is someone you’re being sexual with - but I think that’s kind of the point. These are people who can’t let their guard down around anyone else because they can’t feel intimate with anyone else.

I wish that “It’s a moral imperative to enact libertarian policies even if they result in mass starvation“ got people even a quarter as mad as “Punching Nazis is good.“

But apparently endorsing mass death makes you an interesting person to ask economics and ethics questions to as long as you do it in the right way.

Brah, I argue with Right Libertarians pretty often, and even accused a man in a “Taxes Are Theft” shirt of being an enemy of humanity due to automation once.
