BLM/Antifa are the brownshirts for the establishment.


Nov 20, 2021, 6:07 PM

They burn down cities, loot, riot, assault people, murder people, take over police stations, etc and yet they are never touched by the government who (supposedly) exists to protect the public. Why?

Easy. They are tools of the government/establishment. They go out and intimidate where the government legally can't. They threaten jurors. They threaten protestors. They are meant to intimidate the average hard-working person into just shutting up and taking whatever the establishment wants to force down our throats. Their purpose is to silence us.

The Pelosis, McCains, McConnels, Bidens, etc of the world know that they can't overtly do these things or it would wake up the normal citizen. So instead, they use their proxies, and they let them get away with just about anything.

A perfect example of this was the antifa thugs harassing people at an anti-forced medical experiment protest. Is there anything more establishment than supporting the authoritarian government's efforts to force people to do something against their will? They assaulted people in broad daylight and nothing was done to them.

There are many more examples of course. They have been escalating this tactic for the last 3-5 years.

We need to fight this.

The inversion of truth and ignorance of history on display in this thread is...appalling.

I don't know whether to be enraged or just sad by what I see posted anymore. Some people...are just rushing headlong into this epic cataclysm and I only wonder what the body count is going to be at the end, and how many Americans are going to die because of it...and if there even is going to be an America we recognize at the end of it.

I guess if you want to destroy the lessons of history, you first obliterate history. Well done, Tom.

Re: BLM/Antifa are the brownshirts for the establishment.


Nov 20, 2021, 9:54 PM

Well, let's start with the obvious glaring errors....

He lists John McCain and Mitch McConnell - whose name he can't even spell right - as part of the "Dem establishment". He also claims they're somehow coordinating in a structured way with Anarcho-Communists. (Right-wing brains just can't comprehend that Antifa is anarchists...by definition an island of misfit toys, each with his own manifesto, each a Special and Unique Snowflake, and they spun off the Baader-Meinhof Gang - the Red Army Faction - and the Red Brigades of the '70's and '80's.)

Brownshirts were Nazis, who became the SA that propelled Hitler to power. They were far-right-wingers, far more like the Proud Boys than Antifa or BLM...who are Anarcho-Communists (Antifa) and outright Communists (the "official" BLM "organization" founders, not the movement itself, by definition a "movement" has no real leaders, just icons, it's a social response.)

Communists cannot be Brownshirts. They're, well, Communists. Far-left wingers. America has fought wars with both Commie Rats and Fascist Pigs...and the brownshirts were a hyper-extreme version of Fascist Pig.

I could go on, but Tom's sh!t is word salad, idiocy leavened with distortion mixed with malice and outright lies. It makes my head freaking hurt listening to the crazy vicious crap that pours out of his keyboard...and it frightens me how many people don't even challenge him anymore because so many are echoing this crazy crap every day without even realizing this actually makes them real-deal Fascists, echoing Fascist ideology and the Fascist distortion of truth, decency, and actual fact.

That makes me real mad. And real sad. Sorry.

They're an autonomous collective, a product of the modern Internet. They're literally like a digital herd of cats, all sort of working within this really loose framework, and so to eradicate them it's like hunting crabgrass, and you've gotta lop off each individual weed.

With a typical organization - like a right-wing militia even the old Red Army Faction/Red Brigades they spun off of - is going to be organized into chapters or cells, Antifa doesn't usually do that, and when they do, it's like a superhero (or supervillain) team-up, a short run for a specific purpose, and then everybody just peels off the black and voila, they're civvies again. Some do it once, or once in a blue moon...for others it seems to be a lifestyle.

Like, a lot of them aren't Blok - the guys and girls in black - a lot of them are just internet and digital media nerds, who track groups and individuals they don't like. When one of them sees one of these folks they're tracking or has some "direct action" thing they wanna do, they put out a cattle call for all interested Antifascists...and hey, it's basically a digital Fight Club. If they're interested and available, they show up ready to brawl and misbehave. If they're not, they don't. They're not supposed to use their own names - they all use code-names like "Violet" or "Grendel" or whatnot - or tell anyone else who they are, so they can't rat one another out if arrested.

It means nobody has any idea how many of them there really are, and you never have any idea how many of them you're going to be dealing with. And it makes tracking them down and dealing with them absolutely exhausting and unrewarding for law enforcement...so they don't like to do it, because even when you find one it's so freaking hard to tell what they're actually guilty of.

It also makes them fairly ineffective as far as long-term coordinated actions. They can show up and break sh!t, start fights, do marches, make everybody's life he!!, harass the crap out of you. But because of the fact that they are so disorganized and such a rando grab-bag of weirdos, it also means they're not capable of much beyond that either.

To do more than what they do now, and escalate into actual "terrorist threats" instead of the irritating nuisance plague they are now, they'd have to organize into cells again like the Baader-Meinhof Gang did...and if you start seeing that, those, law enforcement can take down a lot more easily. And they may, entities like this tend to metastasize when the real extremists and dangerous ones start getting together. But we haven't seen it yet from them either.

Apologies. I did indeed misspeak. "The establishment" in your mind is universally Communist - not merely "Dem" or "Liberal" - you've stated this repeatedly and this includes everybody who doesn't want to burn the entire government and all our institutions.

And these institutions include: the Universities, the press, big corporations, the government bureaucracy ("the Deep State") and all its attendant institutions, Big Tech, Big Pharma, the medical establishment, the military brass and anybody who ever went to West Point, the FBI, the CIA, the NSA...I'm missing more than a few because the list of "corrupt institutions that must be burned down" that you've raved against is impossibly long in your mind, but that's about the long and short of it. And this "Commie Establishment" does indeed include McCain and McConnell in your head.

And you're gonna go right in and take those massive power blocs down, are you? And all these "elites" are just going to sit passively on their hands forever while you raise the rabble against them? Where are you going to organize this rebellion? Parler? (Wait, isn't that...Big Tech?)

You survive on "the establishment's" tolerance, my man. All you have to do to change that tolerance is scare them enough.

Antifa/BLM have committed many acts of violence and destruction. Even the MSM has been forced to cover some of them. Or do you believe the "mostly peaceful protest" while the building is burning in the background?

None of the protestors on 1/6 attacked the government. The only violence that day was carried out by FBI instigators who broke some windows, and Capital Police who murdered and unarmed woman.

If it wouldn't have been our Capitol though and not brought on by President Trump than it wouldn't have been as big of a deal. Then you add all of the wild footage and it's just a much bigger deal. The Capitol attack impacted all patriotic Americans. BLM matters protests were more financially costly though. The Capitol is more of a huge historical event. It was shown all over the world.

You responded with about six Whataboutisms that had absolutely zero to do with what I asked and never answered the question.

Do you not feel this is maybe the classic definition of "disturbing the peace", and might in fact be better-settled by law enforcement defusing this situation, and not a Twitter mob soliciting someone to come "knock this guy the eff out"?

How am I a "disinformation specialist" for suggesting that law enforcement needs to take Nazi Armband Guy off the freaking street for what is, as you pointed out, a misdemeanor offense and cite him for disturbing the peace before a Twitter mob shows up and starts doing felony assaults to shut him up?

Keeping the peace is the biggest part of law enforcement's job. The obvious problem here is that Seattle's Twitter mob went to Antifa before anybody called the cops...and a felony assault occurred, which the cops weren't interested in either. They just stood him up and sent him on his way once it was obvious he wasn't dead...utterly disinterested in finding whoever beat him down.

That isn't good.

This Fight Club crap whenever a social issue arises - where we see extremist vigilante elements from either side showing up to solve things themselves with fists or bear mace or AR-15's or the freaking hoods of their cars - isn't good.

I would opine saying so makes me sort of the definition of an independent, because I think both extremes are stupid. And immensely destructive.

He got all of those rubes all fired up believing in nutty conspiracy theories. He could have nipped that in the bud weeks before.

Did it sound like I was in any way excusing or liking Antifa? I'm just saying, they're a civil-nuisance plague, a cyberspace movement, not really a functional terrorist cell...though I could definitely see them forming such again like their forerunners did. There's this whole action/reaction thing and I think you could well see actual terrorist cells like the Baader-Meinhof gang or more extreme versions of the Weathermen forming here again.

Here's a real simplified example of what Antifa mostly is...complete with strangely uplifting music from Rupert Murdoch's own New York Post.

Keep in mind I do not agree at all with the methods used here. Hey, there's a guy we don't like, somebody come beat him down? Not how justice and the law is supposed to work, like at all...law enforcement, take care of this guy yourselves, don't make a Twitter mob do it for you, because that unleashes exactly the crazy we're seeing lately.

It amazes me how some of you folks magnify what happened with the Floyd riots and in the same breath downplay 1/6 like it was nothing. On one hand, you had a large group of folk that was reacting to watching a fellow citizens life get snuffed out by a cop on national TV. On the other, a president was able to convince a large group of Americans that an election had been stolen with such intensity that they were incited to try to "stop the steal". Personally, I never felt danger until our Capital was attacked. Why, because our system of government had never come under an attack like that and the reason is insidious and undermines every transfer of power from henceforth. We've survived many public riots(see the late 1960's) in the past and even survived a civil war, but I give our system of government about a 50/50 chance of surviving 2024. Yep T3, which was more dangerous again?

As to your "narrow votes with perceived issues", I guess that would depend on what you define as narrow(anything over a few thousand is generally pointless) and who is doing the perceiving and have they been influenced by a lunatic.

I have agreed with your previous posts on Trump taking it too far.

I tend to agree with Q. The fact that you say "most think he’s an unstable Wikipedia guy with TL/DR post", tells me more about y'all than him, although he can be a little longwinded, LOL.

If you think vaccine mandates are Biden's "fascist policies", then see the Q post about balancing public good with individual rights although at this point I'm not really for the mandates. Let the dumbazzes die if they want is MHO. Trump was fascist in that he wanted to be President for life and attacks ALL perceived enemy's even if they are truly conservative.

I'm “quiet about Biden because it’s not worth my time” is the same reason I don't comment on Clemson football, everyone else covers it pretty well, I have nothing to add.

It was actually 1923, but yeah, that's the long and short of it. Looks spookily familiar, though.

Hitler was actually elected Chancellor in 1933. Adolf did more than two years in jail after that failed coup...refined the Big Lie, wrote Mein Kampf, learned to put a better glossy finish on his brand, and built a parallel government - complete with a functional bureaucracy - intended to replace the German one.

He got himself elected by the skin of his teeth with around 33% of the vote...and the weak and ailing German President, Paul von Hindenberg, caved and reluctantly named Hitler Chancellor.

This time, Hitler knew exactly where the levers of power were because he'd pre-built them in advance. He switched over to the alternate government the "National Socialists" had implemented prior to the 1933 election (they were no such thing as "Socialists", by the way, it was just another lie to make the harsh medicine go down easier with the masses, whom Hitler regarded as cattle to be led by ubermann types like himself.) The levers of power switched over in turn...and it was right off to the races.

Yep, typo. I meant 23, but it's amazing to me that some people don't comprehend the danger of the BIG lie and 1/6. I'm afraid history will repeat.

Me too. Especially because I'm not sure Joe isn't asleep at the switch or has enough lead left in his pencil to stand up to Trump if he tries this crap again and the option is blood in the streets.

If it gets to that point, though, frankly, it doesn't much matter who "wins", it's going to be amazingly ugly either way.

50/50 eh? Wow, hyperbole much? I suggest changing the channel my friend. The corporate media in this Country are a far larger threat to stability than a few hundred unarmed morons. They’ve taught you well.

LOL, The corporate media has nothing to do with my opinions and history has taught me well. The overwhelming reason we were, as Reagan said, "the shining city on a hill" is that for all these years we have had PEACEFUL transfers of power ... until 2020. History now will likely repeat itself ... again.

I always assumed the overwhelming reason we were “the shining city on a hill” was because of our foundational belief in the individual’s liberty and freedom. That, and our intentional constraints on your aforementioned (State) power. I’m not trying to be confrontational here, but if you truly believe the actions of a few hundred morons was an actual “threat to our democracy”, then you’re obviously fully invested in the corporate media’s disparate narrative.

Democracy is a balancing act that tries to thread the needle between individual liberty and public responsibility.

You lean too far towards "the greater good comes ahead of the needs of the individual", and you're leaning Communist.

You lean too far towards the glorification of the individual and our right to do whatever we $%#% well please without regard to who we're hurting, you're leaning Fascist.

Democracy occurs between the center-left and center-right lanes of the political spectrum...and what we saw there was assuredly an attempted Fascist insurrection. Was it a "softer" one? Yeah, but folks still died and violence was still done...and it could have been a whole lot worse. It was a huge warning sign.

Disagreeing with each other over the fine points of policy is fine...that's what elections are for. But what we saw there was a red-flag that our system of democracy itself is under sustained attack...and that attack was launched by the right, whether it wants to admit it or not.

I don't like our two-party system. Increasingly it's leading to obliteration politics, the amplification of the extreme voices on either side, and the vilification of the other side. You want that stuff to amp down, break up the power the parties now wield and give the voters a lot more actual choices on the menu...and make our politicians start selling what they offer we the voters again instead of them just letting them do their best to obliterate the Red Team or the Blue Team and make us terrified of them.

Maybe at one point, without computer tabulation, without advanced communications equipment, the party system was a necessarily simplification. Now it's so much in the way it's stupid, a bunch of college kids who know how to Big Board a website could do better. "Hey, who's in favor of this issue, arguments for, arguments against...hey, here they are." (And you line 'em up on the Big Board, everybody studies them, debates occur, and then everybody recesses, caucuses, and then comes back and votes on it. You could preside over that. I could preside over that.)

We aren't communicating anymore by snail-mail letters that are delivered over the course of weeks and months by horse and cart.

We can know what our voters' needs and wants and desires are with almost pinpoint accuracy now, we're still stuck using a system from 1784 that's been gunked up and overgrown with bureaucracy and red tape and special interests to insanity now...and we haven't modernized it.

If we just sat down and did America 2.0 with another constitutional convention the way the Founders did, especially with the idea that the traditional two-party system was going bye-bye and just brought our viewpoints and a fresh perspective to the table, I think we'd come up with something everybody likes a lot better, something a lot more suited to 2021 that preserves the spirit of what they accomplished the first Constitutional Convention. There's not one durn thing the Founders did we can't now, especially since we have their example to build upon.

This two-party thing is stupid and utterly antiquated...and it's killing us right now. Nothing in life is that simple, that black or white...or that red and blue.

No, I truly believe the actions of ONE man, the POTUS, was an actual “threat to our democracy”. Why, just like Germany from 23 to 33, that few hundred morons that were fooled by his BS, might become a few hundred thousand next time. And lets be real here, several million were fooled such that 50,000 of them took the time to show up on 1/6, but only a small percentage of the morons were ready to do battle. If conditions in this country worsen, which is likely the case, it's all to easy to see this expanding next time. Oh, and I just don't see that candidates will so easily concede in the future. Hope Im wrong!

Show us one piece of evidence that shows anyone on Jan 6th planned to "go stop the vote certification." What bullchit! They had no weapons whatsoever. You are just repeating what your phone told you to think.

Is there an email, a video (or audio) of a planning meeting, texts that say the people there intended to stop the vote in a violent takeover of the capital?

The vast majority of video from inside the capital shows a bunch of people walking around like tourists. According to you, they should have had weapons and been screaming in rage looking for people to kill.

Tell us why, specifically, you believe these people were trying to stop the election certification? Several leftists plants start the rampage and the capital police mysteriously step-aside and let people through - this does not equate to an attempt to takeover the capital and stop the vote.

JFC, head in sand much? I won't bother with most of that crap, I'll just ask a long rhetorical question. Was it not Trump and his folks that asked for their supporters to come to DC on 1/6 for a rally that "just happened" to end when congress started the certification process and was this rally not called "STOP THE STEAL"??? Please explain that and then I'll look for the video's of Mo Brooks saying "today's the day we kick ### and take names" or Rudy saying "let's have trial by COMBAT" or Trump telling them to "fight like helll" with the crowd responding "yeah, storm the Capital". Hell, even Steve Bannon knew and stated on 1/5 that "all hell was going to brake lose". Maybe you can explain the "hang Mike Pence" chants and the zip tie handcuffs also if you think everything was sooooo innocent that day and everybody was there for a grand showing of peace on earth, good will towards men. Jeez people, they would have torn Nancy to shreds if they had gotten their hands on her. Not that I'm a fan of that cuunt, but ####.
