"The American Brahmins" as I've heard it called.

I should say. I really dislike the terms 'right side of history" "progressive" and "regressive" it's too easy to make these things mean whatever you want.

I think IDPol will ultimately have to change to be more receptive to everyone

if it hopes to survive the paradigm

i use regressive in regards to IDPol as pushed by both the alt-left and alt-right to justify their racism

I think IDPol may not necessarily be inherently insidious but can easily be used as such

Going back to Tim's question

The Right will say that The Great Society really destroyed the Country.

The Moynihan Report really mirrors modern discourse well.

I use regressive on both sides to refer to any reverse in what social progress we have ACTUALLY achieved

Its not that we dont need more ACTUAL progress, its that we seem to be trying to go about it in such a way that the reverse is occuring, just from a different "perspective"

idk im ultimately a solutions guy, and i dont think IDPol is a viable way to reach said solutions

@Timcast Any particular areas you had in mind with respect to the Democrats doing messed up stuff?

no im good

uhhhh

its fake

lmao

ok that makes sense

I know shes made a sport out of PR blunders but that would be a step up

I was going to say. It looked fake. But could almost be real. Had she not said "It's time for us to come home" and then brought up reparations or something I would totally believe it.

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.
