I remember the Joe Rogan podcast where he mentioned that

Antifa had weapons prepared

The KKK have been expanding. Many 'Alt Right' ideologies are pretty much KKKesque.

Heather Heyer was the only death at that rally. She died to a MVC.

ethnostate level nationalism would be kkkesque

@Brokkr Watching it now.

But most common racism is from the left

I think I've seen some clips of it before

Affirmative action, "safe spaces" segregation

The MVC was caused by an AntiFa member who was harassing vehicles with an AR-15. Thus H.H. was indirectly killed by AntiFa. The driver happened to also be a political extremist. He directly killed her.

The cruel twist of fate is the fact that H.H. was a member of AntiFa herself and even had an AntiFa honor guard for her funeral.

Hmmm I didn't know that about her.

The narrative, however, is that H.H. was a 'political equality activist hit by an Alt Right extremist'. Nothing more.

"I have zero social media.
I never know wtf is going on with anything or anyone."

"Haha. I used to have Facebook. It has since been deleted."

Other than marketing and brute forcing your way into search engine algorithms, social media as we know it is an over all negative. I reopened my Facebook account at the beginning of the year, merely to login once a month and touch base with a family member or two. Other than that, I've been social media free for nearly a decade, with exception to deploying bots to search for and reply to specific subjects.

@Gamer man boy boy boy man Do we consider the types of racism from minority communities to be coming from the left? I understand that main stream leftism has a lot of blatant well known racism, however in some minority communities you wouldn't believe the types of racism and beliefs that go on.

I just wouldn't classify that as a typical leftism but I'm not sure how other people see it.

If he wasn't a software engineer I would have zero fucking clue who that was.

I wonder if you know who my grandfather was, but I'm reluctant to divulge his name, given the eyes that're on this server.

Oh, yeah. The hispanic community is a great example of that.

I'm of African descent but I moved to The US as kid and I've seen some shit @Brokkr . Especially between the African American and Hispanic community.

Right. There's a lot of tribalism.

Especially in small communities

@Jeremy Don't do anything to dox yourself. I'm sure I'm too stupid to know though. I'm socially retarded.

@Brokkr
"On a segway to another topic....it is a strong belief of mine that the US Civil War would have happened regardless of slavery....but that if the cotton gin had been invented 20 years sooner that war would have happened much later.
One of the reasons I hold this belief is: Expansionism. Every time a state was added to the overall union the North and South would be at odds over power. No different than Democrats and Republicans in our bipartisan system today."

I agree with you there, as the split between federalism and anti-federalism is as deep now as it was then, and it always will be.

It's odd. If you're hispanic and an outsider hates on you...you're ALL up in arms. The moment there's no longer a common enemy if you're from Costa Rica and they're from Mexico all bets are off.

In _low income areas_ where there is a lot of gang violence tribalism is pretty much mandatory

Bc you need a strong sense of family and protection

To keep your family alive

On a side note, I've gotten much more constructive relationships...at large...with people born in Africa that come to the US than ones born here who choose to hyphenate.

I'm not sure about the hispanic community but arent a lot of African american families "broken" in general though? I'm not sure they have a lot of emphasis on family

Poor communities in general, Newt.

The ghetto, the barrio and trailer parks are nearly identical.

Minus the melanin.

And @Brokkr I notice that a lot too. However I'm not from Africa, I'm from the UK. My father is from the UK and my mother is from the states

The native Africans I went to engineering school with are very different from the people who were born here but it's mostly cultural differences. They have to work hard to come here so the entitlement complex isn't there.

I think the government has a lot to do with why those communities are so broken. When there's a social safety net (See Welfare) then families are not encouraged to stay together. Just as one example.

@nimble_newt, that's correct, and collectivism and isolation seems to remain a steady force among minority communities. The attitudes now are likely worse now than they were during the race wars. Tribalism is very much alive, and that's what holds their communities back, themselves and a rejection of societal wide norms and values required for opportunity and civilized social relations.

You see rampant rejection of participatory conduct in education by their peers.

Rejection of literacy, paired with an embrace and glorification of criminal behavior.

I grew up on base. For the most part, racism was a new concept when I joined civilian life. Even then it really wasn't really tangible until I moved to NC.
