If you walk up to a group of "swastika carrying racists" and tell them off - what do you think will happen to you?


Maybe - you should have thought of a better way to voice your opinion?  

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they have any right to kick the living crap out of you, but you instigated it - for if you said nothing - they would have left you alone.

Alright my turn... A card carrying, swastika wielding Nazi decides to hold a rally in an American city where his fellow Nazis can chant and act like assholes.

 

The descendants of victims of Nazism show up at the rally, one of them caves his skull in with a club. Maybe he should have chosen a better way to voice his opinion, or better yet not voiced it all? If he had not held his rally in a country full of people who are descendants who fought against Nazis, he would not have been clubbed to death. Did he instigate it?

 

You can replace Nazis with Al-Qaeda/ISIS.

No, he did not, for the US allows Freedom Of Speech and as wrong as those Neo Nazis are, they have a right to have a rally (I know, I don't like it any more than you do...)

Then by the same analogy, if I go to a Bruins game and start cursing at Bruins fans, I am protected by free speech. I did not instigate the violence, the people beating me up did. Do you see the point here? 

 

Freedom of speech protects you from prosecution by the government, it does not protect you from your fellow citizens.

No, the "event" was a Bruins game, you instigated it, not them.  There's a time and place - and protesting in front of 20,000 Bruins fans is not the place.  

 

However, If you rented out an arena, for the purpose of rallying people that Bruins suck - and some Bruins fans showed up - and started beating people up - then yes, they instigated it.

 

Do you see the point here?

 

It's a matter of perspective.

Then by the same analogy the "event" was held in America. A country full of descendants of people who fought against Nazis or whose ancestors were victims of Nazis. Maybe you shouldn't hold a Nazi event in a country that fought against Nazis in WWII. Like you said, there is a "time and place", holding a rally in a country which hates Nazis is not the place.

You seem to have lost the thread of the conversation. You asked what would happen if someone talked smack at a Bruins game in Boston. I replied that one might expect to get beat up, but certainly wouldn't expect to be murdered. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED IN CHARLOTTESVILLE!

 

Someone "told off" (according to you) a bunch of racists and was murdered because she did so. It is not the same thing as getting punched out for being an asshat at a hockey game.

 

Your ignorant stance suggests that she was somehow responsible for her own death. "If she hadn't been there"...."If she hadn't antagonized the skinheads"...

 

Make no mistake: The death is on the guy in the Challenger. Not the woman for being a part of a counter protest against a bunch of dinosaurs who have no place in a moden, civilized society.

If you just say nothing...seems i remember a poem from the 30's about that. Hmmm.

 

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist.

 

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

 

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.

 

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

If you are proud to be white, this is what you are. Poor Jews/Israel. 

 

In a society that's openly oppressing white men, their voice, and even their ability to have an opinion, weaponized words and misrepresentations like naming folks Racist or Neo-Nazi (and how many of you really, I mean really, know what that truely means) have this group and their protest so distrorted and bent that it's unrecognizable. The car and the protest are not the same thing. 

 

The Left and the MSM spin and spin.

 

Somehow, this loser in a car turned the country into KKK vs victims of peace. You guys need to step back and start finding the narratives. Start noticing the patterns and maybe you won't be such useful idiots for the engineers. I'm disappointed in how easily people can be purposefully divided and sidetracked into further division. Imagine blaming Mr. Trump for this guy driving his car into a bunch of folks. Que the line-up to explain how he is the root of the problem. Yawn. Useful idiots. If it's equality about "terrorism" you want, great, back wayyy up to the creators of that word and it's industry and let's talk.

Lol guy give your head a shake. How are white men oppressed. I can't imagine how insecure and what crippling self doubt you must have to think white men are oppressed.

...a swastika carrying racist, OTOH...

 

It's not "the same thing". Not even close.

Where is the BLM violence thread where you say the same with as much vigour?

Not just you, but all of you.

And I use that ONE violent movement against white men aka "racist neo nazi redneck etc etc" because it's easy to pick on.

 

Time to level the playing field in this forum on atrocities. Having a field day with this one, alone, is telling. 

 

"He will not divide us."

Puppets, start finding out who "he" really is and it won't happen.

Perfect. 

If anyone in this forum can prove that white guys are not being systematically oppressed here, as opposed to the reciprocal/every other demographic out there, please provide it. 

 

Show me any kind of the white privilege myth that promotes white men and I will stand corrected. Take your time.

Guy, you said society is openly oppressing men. Prove it. You made a claim, burden of proof is on you.

 

It's absolutely comical to think white men are being oppressed, but go ahead and make your case.

Can you imagine if these middle class white guys were ever actually subjected to oppression? What a bunch of racist, homophobic, lazy, whiny, scared little cowards.

Boring.

No...no that's not happening at all and you need to give your head a shake if you think so

 

Your next statement will be "they're trying to erase white history" by removing statues I think yes?

 

Holocaust survivors and men and women who fought against the Nazis in the 40's are sounding off about how dangerous this is, about the similarities about the division and issues surrounding it.  You might need to stop drinking the kool aid and pretending it's you vs them, left vs white.

 

There might be no middle ground anymore in the west, but it doesn't mean people with heart and intelligence cannot stand in the center
