I saw the president of BLM on TV in an interview yesterday. He spoke like a street thug, looked like a street thug, is a street thug. He unequivocally stated that if they didn’t get what they want, they would burn society down. They demean the blacks that are honest and truly are trying to make a difference. The only hope for these thugs is bringing back the draft. For both make and female.

They need to learn respect for authority, they need discipline, and learn how to function as a team.

God help us. This anarchy needs to stop!
Gee, it's interesting that those are the exact same things that were said about the protests against the Vietnam War and...for Civil Rights and Women's Suffrage. :oops:

I guess it's true that; "The more things change...the more they stay the same." :ohdear:

Being sucked in to defending their side because of the awful imagery was only Step One in their goal of divide & conquer.
Sorry, but I'm still confused.

Are you saying that they didn't say it...and shouldn't have been terminated?

Or that even if they did say it...they shouldn't have been terminated?

Just so much to keep track of. :ohdear:

The wish to "burn society down" goes way beyond BLM.

This and other threads are a testimony to the success of the efforts by many to divide, start cultural wars, and weaken our once great country. BLM is a minor player actually.

Nothing wrong with govt preventing capitalism to run uncontrolled but nothing better than capitalism.

We became the #1 economy thru capitalism.
The imperfections cause our guilt, or even envy for some, about the inequities. We can certainly improve democracy and capitalism. To borrow a phrase, “to form a more perfect union.”

HOWEVER, that is not a goal the thugs share with us. Many folks are being manipulated. If they believe they are helping the oppressed or less fortunate, they are in fact (sadly) supporting the thugs as they actively destroy our shared culture, history, liberties and ultimately our government.

How would socialism actually HELP poor or oppressed blacks? the thugs don’t care about racial justice.

Many learned blacks realize that they (along with many well-intentioned whites) are being manipulated. They are often more adept at discerning lies & manipulations because they have been targeted with them so often in the past. They are actually calling for us to STOP TRYING TO HELP THEM!

The Bubble is still an important part of America, Carl.

The French were shocked into reality when Hitler marched down the Champs Eylesee, it can happen here when all of a sudden, people of privilege here are subject to the malcontents that surround us--the bubble, is just that its a bubble not a fortress

Reality and aware people can make the bubble of a fortress

My post (the one to which you respond) is not even close to an endorsement of any system. It is simply a stated wish we ignore and should pay close attention to.

The fact that you have bought this narrative simply tells me you need to read a bit more and open your mind

Not a criticism of you in any way., but simply a statement that you should look into. BLM and the others are "bit" players

Minimizing danger does not change it.

Shall we compare the damages from looting, arson, businesses, public art etc from todays protests to the protests about Vietnam?

Unfortunately, situations like this can devolve into mindless acts by some people. They aren't representative of the great majority of the protesters.

When everyone has everything they need, and no one needs anything they don't have, there's no need for an efficiently functioning economy. That is the primary goal of socialism. To eliminate need, because everyone already has.
