America defeated White Supremacy in the American Civil War. Yes, they can be dangerous as we have seen recently and they can be a social menace as we have seen here but they aren't a major threat to America. BTW, America is a collective too. What the Trump election told me was that hard core America is big and powerful. Blue America should be concerned because it means the time of silly political games and self centered politics (identity politics/ greedy self serving politicians) is/should be over.(01-27-2017, 08:23 AM)Warren Dew Wrote:I am curious. In what way do you see the alt right not being evil? This would include the likes of the KKK, neo nazis, white supremacists keep in mind. I am very curious as to what you think about that.(01-27-2017, 12:35 AM)X_4AD_84 Wrote:(01-26-2017, 10:31 PM)SomeGuy Wrote:(01-26-2017, 03:28 PM)X_4AD_84 Wrote: You are missing the forest for the trees.
Be careful what you wish for people. You might actually get it.
That's nice, I've heard that one before. Did you catch any more bumper stickers today?
No, I am actually curious: Much of your posting in the nearly 4 years (on and off) I've been posting here has been warmongering for the impending battle with the SCO/Neo-Mongol Empire/<Insert political/historical reference here>. You've mentioned that you've been thinking along similar lines since at least 1999/2000 (Y2K). So, in what way would you say your thinking has changed?
I no longer think liberals are evil. I am now exceedingly tolerant vis a vis social concerns / minority rights / etc. I no longer think globalism is all bad (it just needed reform). I no longer associate with Birchers, League of the South, Skousenites, etc, etc. I don't think it would be wise to fire most of the State Department. So many other things.
As far as I can tell, now you think the alt right is evil. That's not being tolerant; it's just redirecting your intolerances to a different group..
