Translation: “I like police (when they beat colored people) but will resist when they tell me to follow rules”
Seems pretty consistent. The dude knows that cops are there to uphold white supremacy, he is white and therefore not in danger of being murdered by them. “Conservatism is the belief that laws are there to bind an outgroup but not protect, and protect an in group but not bind them” paraphrasing the quote.
Thank you for introducing me to Wilhoit’s Law:
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
It is a really good quote that crystallized for me what conservatives were all about. It just didn’t make a fuck of a lot of sense to me beforehand. Why vote against your interests over and over again?
That, and I also now understand that there is something like 30 percent of the population that doesn’t believe in positive sum games. They think that with every transaction there must be a winner and a loser. Don’t quote me on that exact amount. But it is just a startling amount of people that have some very weird beliefs that lead to fascism.
Fascists are strange creatures indeed.
They claim to be all about logic and rationality, but even a little bit of either blows apart their entire worldview.
“They’re taking all of your jobs” while “they’re lazy and stealing all of the welfare money”.
“It’s simply the natural order” yet “we need brutal enforcement to keep it in place”.
“It’s free speech” yet “ban the books, ban the journalism, jail the journalists”.
“America did not do anything wrong” yet “we cannot teach portions of American history”.
“War is terrible” yet “we’ll blow them to smithereens”.
“College education is useless liberal indoctrination” yet “I was incredibly smart which you can tell because I went to Wharton” and “I graduated from Yale”.
“Thoughts and prayers are all we can offer for shooting victims because bans won’t work” but “let’s ban abortion”.
Zone out at “Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses”
Turn it up to 11 at “fuck you I won’t do what you tell me”
Fun fact: Rage against the Machine had been one of several music groups to require pharmaceutical compliance at their shows during the mysterious global event.
More aptly, they should be called “Rage Along With The Machine”.
Or just don’t be a dumbass who’s willing to die for identity politics.
I died. I got sick and died from the deadliest disease in human history. You are talking to my ghost right now.
I always find people that think that pictures using skeletons makes them more badass really funny. It’s like the little kid version of scary. OMG it’s a hand but it’s a SKELETON HAND! VERY BIGLY STRONG.
Like this?
I can appreciate when people put labels on their car indicating how hazardous they are and how far to stay away. Just the other day I saw a car with similar stickers, including a “We the People…” and one endorsing the Trump / RFK Jr. ticket.
The he/him she/her labels on social media profiles are also a pretty reliable timesaver.
So, you believe it’s just better to stay away from people who differ in political opinion?
Funny, that exactly lets me know you’re the type of person that I probably want to stay away from.
Judgemental, condescending, and such. Please let’s not let stupid politics continue to divide us. It’s bad right now.
There’s having a difference of opinion and then there’s wanting to end democracy as we know it. Trump and Trump supporters are a threat to democracy.
Trump and Trump supporters are a threat to democracy.
Uhg… No, no they arent… this is exactly the narrative pushed by the left. You’re repeating it like a good little democratic but neither candidate is a threat to democracy. America will be fine. Neither candidate will end democracy.
Just to make my position clear, I’ve never voted republican.
It is generally wise to stay away from self declared fascists - and people declaring those things are declaring themselves to be fascists whether they know it or not
I stay way from people who think the world should all agree. I especially don’t like people go around expecting everyone to have the same view
Yeah that’s why I want to stay away from fascists. Glad we agree :P
When the views are “I kinda like society” and “let the suffering commence!” Yeah, I expect most people to be on my side and anyone on the other to be shunned.
When people tell me that their stubborn ignorance has reached levels so acute as to endanger the lives of everyone on Earth, I find it prudent to believe them.
