Fuck, someone finally fucked up and actually gone and done it...

I know the guy was a BLM supporter and "ironic Boogaloo boi" but you know the MSM and the big clickbait mills and social media rags are going to do everything they can to memoryhole the truth and try to make this into Charlottesville 2.0 or something.

Best case scenario is that Tucker Carlson airs the video evidence of the shooter's support of BLM and Antifa and that the masses weary of riots will be a lot less tolerant to Antifa and call out the bullshit as much as possible before the inevitable purging of dissident opinions and algorithm fuckery by Twitter and Google bots.

If Tucker can get the word out there via Fox News and the Boomer cons and centrist normies don't fall for the woke narrative and begin going soft on Antifa, I think this can still be salvaged and turned against the Woke Left. But I'm not optimistic on this one.

It was inevitable unfortunately; Even if the Right continuously tried to prevent anyone from doing anything all it would take was a single person, out of millions over an entire year, getting in a situation too dangerous, which is of course what happened.

My hairs were standing up a few hours ago when I realized that both sides were armed and in each other's faces, so I'm not surprised things finally boiled over. I think things are truly going to fly out of the control now; Everyone better brace themselves for the incoming crackdown, the State will not tolerate this.

There is a proportion of people who cannot deal with, or process, emotional and moral complexity. They need to see everything as goodies and baddies. Everything must be categorised as good or bad and anything previously good that becomes tainted in any way is now irredeemably bad.
The same thought processes are common in many cluster B type personality disorders. Everyone is divided into heroes or villains and anyone who wrongs you is a bad guy, regardless of how small the slight.
This can not operate within the context of some religions - the kind of moderate Christianity that the west has had up to now is anathema to it because it preaches redemption and self improvement and personal agency. It can operate within other religions - the wahabi/salafi/death cult versions of Islam for example.
Current SJW culture is a cult, and you can argue that communism is Too because it creates this same mindset. Good vs bad, you get told what’s good and bad (no thinking allowed!) all people are hero or enemy. No redemption (cancelling) and no self improvement, only degeneracy.

So the very fact you’re finding your viewpoint to be an unorthodox idea is worrying because it shows you how far the norm has drifted. The powers that be do not want the kind of nuanced thought that leads to people seeing the opposition as humans woth a different view. That leads to things like the troops playing football across the lines on Christmas Eve and that’s worrying close to them not doing what they’re told. People who think like these rioters are a mass, a mob, who are easily controlled and directed.
Keep your humanity, your doubt and your ability to see complexity - it’s literally the only thing stopping us from descending into total chaos.

This whole discussion right here reminds me of John Cleese's video on extremism.

Supposedly a report has been leaked re the Breonna Taylor investigation. I have no idea if this is true or not but I found it on /pol/, so obviously, it's GOT to be true.


Skimming it apparently her boyfriend, or someone, was stashing cash at her house.

I’ll have to have a look. I hear he’s a spiky personality irl, but he’s not daft and usually speaks sense, which is why the media here runs an attempt to cancel him, and his various productions, on a yearly basis.
I’m genuinely surprised they’ve not come for life of Brian yet - I suspect they see if it as ‘duh huh religion silly.’ When in reality, it’s about human stupidity and this very mindset - of extremism, inhumanity, and cult like behaviour.
The crazy thing is that not all religions act like that and some atheist movements do act like that. It’s extremism, fundamentalism, and this weird, cluster B type thought mode that’s destroying us.

We need to mock it. We need to make this thought mode a target of humour again. We used to be able to do this. Just look at life of Brian, Brass eye, the young ones. Comedy used to rip the piss out of people who thought and acted like this. Now we can’t, it’s absolutely verboten. We need to start asking why, and who stops us. And we need to start laughing at these people again, and deflate them.

adrenaline is a hell of a drug and 5.56 isn't exactly a super powerful round.

Pistols are pistols and rifles are rifles.
.223/5.56 may be an "intermediate" caliber with half the energy of a .308 or .30-06 deer rifle, but it's still more than double that of a .40 or .45. And at nearly contact range?

They're attacking another car lot. What's up with the vehicular hate?

The first night they broke in and were trying to steal the cars but couldn't match the keys, so they just started smashing them all in frustration. Then they discovered flares and started sticking them in the cars. Under the "Black Lives Matter" sign and next to the church in those inferno pictures.

That’s a pretty long barrel. Gun laws?

In the US, restrictions are on how short rifle barrels can be, not how long. Rifle needs to be at least 16", shotgun 18".
