i just think its funny that anyone would try to use history as evidence of good deeds or honor

Hang on I have a meme for this

especially when the kkk and jim crow were AFTER ther new deal

History obsession is how wars continue and never stop.

Seeking "justice" and never offering "forgiveness"

See as someone with a BS in history i can say that understanding history and learning from it is important, but you cannot allow yourself to get trapped in it.

you have to live in the present

learn from the past

and strive for a better future

I was going to say hope for a better future, but yours is better

Just got to the vid about the berniebro who got his head bashed in

i say strive because one must be actively involved to make it happen but hopes not bad either

Antifa just needs to fuck off at this point eh

Lagomaster, hence why I said yours is better

Hoping for change does as much good as liking a facebook page for a worthycause

glad they are considered terrorists but idk if we've done enough about them

they are hard to pin down

Its not worth devoting resources to them

for the moment it would do nothing but increase the validity of their rhetoric

Democrats were the creators and solders of the Confederate army. Democrats were the founders of the KKK in attempt to segregated and keep blacks from mingling with the whites, then when civil rights era came along they found against black's getting their rights. Democrats fought against almost every single civil rights piece except for the last one, they figured if they can't win, they will use the blacks by keeping them under their party as loyal voting block.

Blackhawk, if we don't devote resources to them, there is also a risk they become more bold

i remember posting a complaint about internet activism or "clicktivism" on Facebook awhile back and someone tried to argue that it actually made a difference pffffft

Why the heck would I support a party that attempts to blame Republicans for their past? It doesn't make sense. The tearing down statues and the destruction of the "Racist" history is working in favor of the democrats.

Why would people research the past if there isn't any reminders of the past?

The right amount of resources were the level used at the rally time was at in portland I think it was?

it might have been seattle

Statues play a good role in making people remember the past and thus remembering never to go down that path again.

Yeaaaaa Dems in some ways are the same as they ever were

Use the police to keep people from fighting and use the law to crack down when they get violent

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

but i think we are at a perfect opportunity to change even that

Lagomaster, how exactly do you reckon that?

"Those who dont learn from history are doomed to repeat it, for it is a required course" - oxford university student

well first of all, all the walk awayers could quit running and take back the party, and second make legitimate and permeant changes to the parties platform

I created an saying throughout my debates, tell me what you think. "The reminders of past are there to remind of us our past. People that attempts to erase those reminders has no good intentions, for they are willing to run the risk of repeating it in the future. Only selfish people erase the past in the present without consideration for the future."

yea Tim kinda brought that up in the Silent Sam vid

Lagomaster, I think it would be better if the #walkaway people went and founded a new political party. We need more than just a bipartisan system

I think the entire center should move to a new party

That is why when Tim brought that up... I was squealing with delight.

Well I am a third party advocate
