Unite the Right 2

[Wry Catcher]

The Washington Examiner, typically has a right wing bias, which makes today's paper unique and important for both those on the left and the right to read:

The alienation behind the madness of Unite the Right

That article pretty much explains that they are like a gang....that's why young teens/men join gangs also.

The left should at least be embarassed that their population replacement plans have been exposed.

Why, though, would hundreds of people make the effort to come to D.C. to march around in the swamp's humidity for “white civil rights” when violence or arrest is a real possibility?
What is going on in these people’s lives that makes this seem like a worthwhile undertaking?

This is the point I was trying to make yesterday about Proud Boys, though of course the OP does it 100 times better.
Thank you, Wry, for allowing me to feel a little vindicated this morning.

Democrats rallied in Charlottesville last night...chanting Cops and Klan are all the same and assaulting an NBC news crew....lovely eh? You will never hear about it on the leftist propaganda networks though.

Where’s the “Butthurt Proof” label so lefties know they can read the article without their feelers getting hurt?

Idiot-gram, word salad variety.

Antifa isn't Democrats.

“So, Americans Left and Right wondering how to stanch the tide of extremism need to consider this. Somehow, much of our countrymen have slipped through the cracks and find themselves utterly alienated.” ibid

This alienation is the consequence of ignorance and fear, which soon gives rise to hate.

Conservatism is fundamentally reactionary and authoritarian, predicated on an unwarranted fear of change, diversity, and dissent – and the desire to turn back change and return America to an idealized past that never actually existed to begin with.

For mainstream conservatives this manifests as efforts to prohibit gay Americans from marrying, enacting laws hostile to transgender Americans, seeking to compel women to give birth against their will through force of law, voter ID laws, and policies intended to discourage immigration, such as taking children from immigrant families.

Rightwing organizations that participate in the Unite the Right movement wish to move beyond disadvantaging those whom they fear through force of law and use instead physical force, violence, and intimidation against minorities and immigrants.

But whether mainstream conservative or Unite the Right participant, the motives and source of alienation remain the same: fear of change, diversity, and dissent.

The right should be embarrassed that they can only respond with red herring fallacies.

Doesn’t matter. You will be replaced anyways.

Just the flip side of-and reaction to- BLM.

"Democrats"?

Q. What evidence do you have to prove that allegation?

A. None.

Q. What source are you citing to make this claim?

A very thoughtful post, one which the willfully ignorant will ignore, or push the funny button.

Thank you for providing a clear expository description of reality.
