Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

What they are trying to do is they are trying to silence opposition and intimidate decision-makers.

“I’m being silenced!” yells man being quoted in a prominent newspaper.

You go back to the civil rights movement, they expected to be arrested, they knew they were violating the law. And also … you have to enforce the law.

Wait, is this motherfucker saying the white southern cops who were arresting civil rights leaders were doing the right thing?

To the latter point, all I can say is, "I appreciate his consistency."

Being sarcastic/joking of course, but I do often go back and forth internally who I hate more. at least there's no confusion over who wants me arrested/dead when it comes to this guy. He just says it.

Libs will wring their hands and write books on how protesters were on "private property" when it's not true or, even if true, does that warrant a violent arrest...? No. And so on and so on with their bullshit all to justify the violence they desire to themselves. They're cowards. The white moderates MLK spoke about. They just like to pretend to be on the side of justice while doing everything possible to condemn those doing something to achieve it. Just cowards. A position born from unrecognized privilege. I have nothing but contempt for any and all liberals who have been whining over college protests this week in the US or those who whined about BLM protests in past years. If they want to be cowards, ok, and do us all a favor and stfu while doing so.

When I think about the civil rights movement, I've always thought to myself "Bull Connor was right."

Adam Smith

lmao isn't that a little too on the nose for a neolib ghoul?

Adam Smith 1.0 was basically a communist compared to current libs

True, at least he hated landlords.

What a vile man.

"Always accuse the other side of that which you are guilty"

A tried-and-true right wing tactic from Goebbels to now.

Ruffini asked Smith about protests in his district, including vandalism at his home and a town hall meeting disrupted by protesters demanding an end to the Israeli bombardment of Gaza prompted by attacks by Hamas on 7 October.

He got scratched

When all this is over, we need Nuremberg trials not just for Nethanyahu and his fascists but for US fascists like this guy too.

Is there even a left wing allowed in the US? It's already well known that it is a two-party system, which effectively (for the rest of the world) is just a one-party system. They don't want to admit this because that'd make them tantamount to the countries they criticize, though.
