HAH! so now thinking the wrong thing is punishable by prison.. you better have alot of prisons.. and you better have a willing populace to tax to pay for these thought violators to live.

I have stated in the past certain political ideologies are considered unacceptable this isn't news. What is news is your not understanding a smartass comment.

That I will agree with especially his ranting about Government Messages in his head or whatever the fuck he was rambling about. Though likelihood is he has a long history of visiting psychiatric institutions.

I can't agree with this. All ideas must be allowed to bed expressed, because it's always going to be the case that a few of the really unpopular ones will end up being true. Any regime that ever stops a truth deserves immediate destruction, because truth is literally more important than anything else.

Imminent lawless action is quite... ahem, clear. Putting a gun on a history book and taking a picture of it is not, in of itself, indicative of "imminent lawless action".


Obviously I was looking at the bigger picture and the various videos, statements, and other works that came from him which clearly showed someone who was violent and had violent thoughts and able to carry out such violence, as opposed to some guy who was just pissed off and blogged about DA EBIL GOVERNMENTS.

If an Arab American took a picture with a bomb on a textbook the FBI would have an entire fucking divison swarming his residence within the day, but when a seemingly harmless white boy does stuff like this for YEARS, everyone turns a cheek.

Until he blows someones brains.

Ahh, sweet smell of liberty.

Except that making a bomb is already illegal.

The Alex Jones side isn't really paleoconservative, and paleoconservatism was mainstream until the sixties at the earliest.

I guess I should have clarified that I knew that. The paleoconservatism was a bit of a side comment. But regardless, by 1896, both parties had moved away from paleoconservatism, with Populists in the Democratic party and the industry in the Republican party. And then Progressivism (and eventually the New Deal) ensured a slow, painful death.

"Never be deceived that the rich will permit you to vote away their wealth." - Lucy Parsons
Socialism is an economic system characterised by social ownership of the means of production and co-operative management of the economy. "Social ownership" may refer to cooperative enterprises, common ownership, state ownership, citizen ownership of equity, or any combination of these. There are many varieties of socialism and there is no single definition encapsulating all of them. They differ in the type of social ownership they advocate, the degree to which they rely on markets or planning, how management is to be organised within productive institutions, and the role of the state in constructing socialism.

Considering people that actually knew him say he was a radical leftist and he named Animal Farm and the Communist Manifesto as his favorite books? Blaming Beck is the wrong choice. Think a better person to blame would be... the shooter.
