Re: Racism
The far left are using racism deliberately, to divide moderates and push them to the extremes of the right and left. It's always some form of character assassination and joining the dots of injustice to label people to put them in their place in their little world of identity politics.
The virtue signalling is very dangerous too - they pretend they are the good people because they believe in "a fairer society" and "stamping out racism" - and if you don't go along with it, then obviously "you're a fascist" and "your a racist" and "you are a nazi". But its not just "the fairer society" and "anti racism" of the hard left that is the full picture. There is a lot more involved which lurks in the background, like defunding the police, destroying businesses, creating a lawless anarchical, authoritarian society, etc.
I've seen people on here including myself being victims of this kind of character assassination, just because we don't agree with ideological based opinions. I've called it out several times before.... this division and labelling by the so called "caring left" is fascism in itself, but its also convenient for them to use these terms such as "fascist" and "racist" and "homophobe" to try and shut down debates or any challenge.
Using only the misfortunes and underachievement of black people to get their message across is racism in itself....... it doesn't get more hypocritical than that.
So, as for BLM and taking the knee or being an evangelist for Adolf Hitler or Chairman Mao or anything else that's corrosive, unpopular or gets people triggered ... I'm all for it, whatever it is.
Freedom of speech must be preserved if we are to remain a true democracy, that's my opinion ... even the racists, the fascist, the marxists, Trotskyites, whoever, must be allowed to have a platform but its up to the individual to have the choice whether they want to listen to it or not.
As for racism (and sorry for the big rant) ... it happens across all races, not just white people against black people. There is a lot less racism in democracies compare to socialist countries too ... look at the human rights track records of say, Russia, China etc. Just think about that next time socialism presents itself as "anti racist". It's a big fat lie.
I don't believe we live in a racist country, it's only a few intolerant ignorant idiots that live here who haven't evolved yet.
Sorry for the long rant, it's been a long day.
