America riots after Police kill unarmed Black Man

[Nobel Hobos 2]

Well the beginning of that decade was pretty awful, you're right about that.

But it would be fair to compare the last three years of Obama with the first three years of Trump. The economy under Trump comes out better, by less than half a point of GDP growth. It's not a huge deal, but the difference is there:

Obama
2014 ..... 2.5%
2015 ..... 2.9%
2016 ..... 1.6% ....av. 2.33%

Trump
2017 ..... 2.4%
2018 ..... 2.9%
2019 ..... 2.3% ....av. 2.53%

If you want to go into why, it wouldn't be anything Trump did. But it doesn't get us anywhere, since the fairly good economy late in Obama's term wasn't anything he did either. The economy is mostly a force unto itself, neither the President nor the Congress ever do much besides intervene in recessions.

Presidents and Congress can make economies get worse.

Yeah yeah. Privatise success and nationalise failure. I've heard it before.

are down as "Double Traitors". The fuck even is that?

Letting in an illegal immigrant then feeding them with a bald eagle. *nods*

Nice to know you'll gleefully dismiss an objectively real, serious and systemic issue in law enforcement in the western hemisphere.

A deadly virus doesn’t care for which reason you’re gathering. There’s blatant hypocrisy between the application of social distancing rules for gatherings a few weeks ago, and the riots/protests now. In NYC, the mayor used police to break up a Jewish funeral, and a few weeks later he lets tens of thousands march, huddled close together. Democratic governors across the nation aggressively supported shut down measures and social distancing, but now that there’s a political cause they support, the regulations go out the window. It doesn’t matter how much you think the protest is needed. It’s blatant government bias to denounce one gathering and praise another while the same restrictions are technically still in place.

Democratic mayors and governors have the cops out tear gassing people during a pandemic, same as Republican mayors and governors. I'm afraid there's no partisan points available for you to score here.

The glaring problems of liberal democracy have finally been revealed. I honestly believe a military government would be better fit to lead at this moment

To quote Churchill: "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others." How can you guarantee a benevolent dictator, not a horrible one, will ascend to the throne? And how many benevolent dictatorships are there compared to corrupt dictatorships?

Not today Pitcairn. Not today. Go back to Adamstown and drink a beer with the Christians. Don’t add logic to my ideal form of government!

[Ifreann]

This is the same guy that complains about people shoving their politics into video games where they don't belong, and is now keeping a list of traitors on his gaming website. And so we all have some idea of how normal a time is being had at 1AG HQ, several entries on the list are down as "Double Traitors". The fuck even is that?

Apparently AOC went to save people trapped on a bridge in NYC by the cops. Not sure exactly what happened, but I think this means she has super powers.

Oh thats nothing, saw this on twitter:

oh shit

Democratic mayors and governors openly support the mass protests. Weeks ago they were denouncing the anti-lockdown protests. You can’t pretend that didn’t happen, it’s all on record. When Georgia reopened it was “an experiment in human sacrifice.” When hundreds of thousands of people take to the streets, close together, there’s not a peep of worry.

No idea, i think he saw three different Nickelodeon pages or people say Black Lives matter so he called them a triple traitor

For fucks sake. There was a great protest sign in London that they should read.

It’s not that ONLY black people’s lives matter, it that’s black people’s lives matter TOO.

I think the performance of the U.S. economy from 2016 to 2019 should be attributed to Obama's performance.The effect of policy will not be shown immediately, and its function will also have inertia.

Mate he had a meltdown a year or so ago over a tiny trans flag in game called celeste (i think), and i mean it was tiny, you could barely make it out. And he was yammering about how it was being Shoved in his face and all this other bollocks. Professional victim mentality.

You want racial equality in America? You clearly must be a filthy traitor!

[Ostroeuropa]

I dread to imagine.

They can't quite decide whether the downfall of America is due to the niggers or the jews.

They seem to be leaning towards blacks being under the control of the jews after they were indoctrinated to believe in the "holohoax" in high school. How that meshes with the idea that black people are uneducated chimps hasn't quite been thrashed out but they're working on it diligently...

This assumes these things are actually believed. They aren't.

The core ideological tenet of fascism is far more simplistic and harder to dispute;

That demographic conflict is the state of nature and unfixable. Someone has to be on top, and someone has to be below.

Everything stems from that. This is why their other arguments are incoherent; they're not sincere; they're tools of propaganda and gaslighting.

If I say "Black people are stupid" in response to them being worse off in the economy, that's not because I believe it, but rather to derail attempts to fix the education system. Since in the fascists mind there can be no "fix" and hierarchy is inevitable, and thus any concession to other demographics is Chamberlain style appeasement; doomed to failure and only makes them stronger for demanding more concessions and eventually subjugating you in turn.

This can lead to genocidal impulses as a means of trying to escape the cycle. To the fascist, the demographics are doomed to perpetual conflict and war. Thus, the only valid objectives are to keep power for yourselves, deny it to your demographic enemies, or to "Win" that war through total extermination.

The lies fascists tell about other races, they know them to be false. But they don't view arguments the way other people do. They view them as struggles for superiority and power.

This is why fascists are fond of tu-quoque, noting discrimination against whites and males as though that justifies discrimination against women and minorities. They're not claiming what people often think they are, rather, they're noting the underlying state of conflict.

It is a fairly accurate representation of reality. But it's also one we can simply stop doing when we decide it's crap and not worth it anymore. People thought war in Europe was a constant inevitability that would never change, until it very suddenly did.

On the other hand, peace requires all combatants to agree to it, and there we're at an impasse because of the progressive left and the far-right adamantly refusing to acknowledge the wrongdoing they've done, making excuses, blaming victims and so on.

So long as the illusion that "victory" of some sort remains, the conflict will perpetuate. The lies fascists tell are propaganda designed to demonize an enemy, minimize their problems, etc. Even better if it has a veneer of academic legitimacy thanks to dodgy definitions, studies, etc.

The "Both sides" rhetoric employed by fascists is because they often very accurately note this is what the progressive left does in regards to males and white people. The left is baffled by this claim of "No no, we're all racists, you too" as though it vindicates fascist behavior, but that's precisely what it does for the fascist, because they do not believe an alternative state of affairs is available. Hence things like "Anti-racist is codeword for anti-white" and so on.

He is calling porn companies traitors as well. Guess he is mad he keeps watching videos of black dudes ploughing white women.

A military coup would be a dream come true

What you're imagining is jackboots and cool Hugo Boss uniforms. What you'd get these days is mandatory florescent safety belts whenever you're in public and weekly briefings on gender and racial equality.

Nah the safety briefs would be on why rape is bad and please for the love of god don’t kill yourselves

You're right, there's a lag, but it's not clear just how long it is for each policy. Spending or tax cuts have a rather quick effect that may not last. Regulation or deregulation have an effect on the scale of 2-5 years (as capital investment is affected). While things like trade treaties have a long slow effect.

It doesn't matter anyway: voters are never going to give a previous president credit for the economy being good/bad now. That's like math or something, voters don't care. Economy sucks in the election year, boot that President.

Democratic mayors and governors have the cops out tear gassing people every night. You can't pretend that isn't happening.

What's happening here is that politicians are going on TV and saying they support peaceful protests, and you believe them, even though their police forces have spent the last week attacking peaceful protests.

I've heard that Nickelodeon is airing a TV ad that's just nine minutes of breathing, to illustrate how long George Floyd was there struggling to breathe. I can see that drawing the ire of Mr. Angry Gamer.

This explains why cops have been going around destroying stashes of water that protesters have been leaving around. They're hydrophobes.

The officers were getting wet without their consent! Clearly this means they were being assaulted! The brave officers had to defend themselves from this grave threat!

One angry gamer's twitter is just a pure anti sjw sewage pipe.

The cultists are going to be cultists. I think they are also being worn away. Or atleast some of them are. Others seem to go on there merry way of spaming "maga".

He did rely on alot of people who thought he was the lesser evil to win the 50% mark in some states, that support I think will commit thanos snap in November.

The white people in the suburbs will give lip service to BLM, but then vote Trump because they are scared about the riots. Trump will poll 3-5% points lower than he actually receives in votes.

They might vote Biden beacuse there more scared of the cops then the riots.

They shot rubber bullits at peaceful proteseters in Lafayette Square and shot people standing on there porch for standing on there porch.

Some are predicting that it will be the opposite- either if Trump manufacturers the crisis or if the rioters create it themselves; plus there's the choice of Burnie Sanders who IMO is worse than Hillary, and I would have voted for Hillary.

Not really, speaking as a Bernie suporter Id much rather vote Biden then Trump cuz this shit needs to stop.
