[quote name="exhausted by ur outrage"][quote name="They Will Never Understand"]It's too bad we can't know how the demonstration would've played out if antifa had decided to stay in bed that day. I suspect the neo-nazis would've felt like they were being heard, instead of drowned out by petulant children, and wouldn't have been forced to resort to violence to get their point across. Does antifa even care about history, or will they just take any opportunity to throw food and drink at people? They strike me as the sort who would ignore everything the appraisers on the Antiques Roadshow were telling them except what they could expect their item to fetch at auction. Meanwhile the skinhead is over here listening intently to the proud European provenance of his grandpa's dagger. If he put a hat on he'd be just like you or me.[/quote] Forget the tree, MM’s so distracted by the squirrel on a branch the he can’t see the forest at all. Deflect, divert, but whatever you do, don’t look at the actual problem head-on. That would be HARD. Much simpler to reduce everything into two tribes and then label one of them “monster” wholesale. Then never think about them any other way ever again. Or think at all, for that matter. That’s what we elected leaders (who told us to elect them) for. Forest for the trees, Brother. Forest for the trees.[/quote]
