The Guy In Pants Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) 19 minutes ago, Chef Jim said: I would love to see what the consensus is with that group regarding what they feel defunding the police means. You’d have a sincerely difficult time getting antifa to give you their thoughts as a majority of them probably struggle to spell “defund”. Then; they’d call you a fascist for pointing out their incompetence at which time they would threaten to burn down your home and kill your goldfish and if you react in a defensive manner; you’re labeled “the problem”.

The dynamic has to change. Absolutely. In a battle between the education system and the parent; the system has the upper hand. Over time; they can change the kinds of the parent through the mind of the child. I cannot remember for the life of me; which book that was in so I apologize. Suppression of the imagination and the destruction of a sense of individuality render children prone to manipulation. Manipulation gives you what we have now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Tim Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I will take my part of the blame for not speaking up earlier. I have a good friend who got in trouble for retweeting a white supremacists. Now there was an investigation at the school and I allowed it to happen without mocking the entire process and said the process was fine since my friend had not known he was a white supremacists. The reason it was so absurd is my friend is black and the great grand child of slaves and grand child of sharecroppers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't ignore the powerful forces who are now the main outlets of "truth" GG's right. They're not cooling off, they're escalating. That's why it's important that everyone do what they can in their own sphere of influence to push back, because they won't stop until they hit resistance, and right now they're not getting any. They're trying to create the impression that their movement has overwhelming support for 2 reasons. 1. To make people afraid to challenge them, and 2. Bandwagon effect. It's shown that people are instinctively inclined to adopt the beliefs they perceive as being held by the majority. That's why they skew polls. It's to influence others. I'm not suggesting anyone should tank their career and go out in a blaze of glory, but we need to do what we can to let other people know they're not alone. Outside of California, we're the majority. Even rational Democrats (oxymoron, I know) think this is getting out of hand. But we're being bullied into silence and compliance, and the weaker among us are getting swept away in the tide. If we sit quietly and wait for things to go back to normal we're going to be waiting until the cows come home. And the cows just hopped on a one way train to the slaughterhouse. 4 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only would it be the biggest story in the US, it would be major international news. Just another example of how broken of an institution that the media have become.
