[HellHound]

isn't it ironic how they dragged the statue over with a tow rope around its neck?

Commiefornians don't have a say in the first place.

if you actually read the plot of the comic you'd know...

Oh I'm sure you're quite the connoisseur.

[Deus Ex]

gee I sure love it when people destroy memorials for fallen soldiers because they're loving lobotomites

why don't they just drive a car through a confederate cemetery, at this point they're pretty much begging for the national socialists' gripes to be legitimized

This is the most annoying thing about all this. By assaulting them and taking down statues and all of this stuff they're only going to make neo-national socialist movements stronger by legitimizing them.

just like running innocent people over is going to legitimize the left

[Tactical Nuke]

these national socialists' whole point is that people are trying to actively erase the white race, AKA white genocide

you do them absolutely no harm by tearing down these statues, you only prove them right

what


and why do people care about a statue so much?
to the right: it's a statue. taking down a statue doesn't scrub his name from books. history will be preserved. just in a less egomaniac way. did you even care about him before this?
to the left: it's a statue. he's already dead. what's done is done. now the statue's dead too. i'm sure you're validated by those slaves that died a long time ago.

If you kill your enemies you win

Guys your pulling the same stuff lefties do when talking about terror attacks.

"if we deport the muslims/stop bringing them in it's only going to make them angrier/stronger and we don't want that :C".

No not really? That's not the same as beating up a bunch of neo-national socialists/white nationalists or doing something like tearing down a statue illegally because you disagree with the ideology of that person. In the case of people acting in a nonviolent matter like neo-national socialists and white nationalists protesting or stating their views in public, the best and most successful course of action is allowing them to speak, then debating them with better points.

That's not the same as the argument that deporting and curtailing muslim immigration feeds into radical Islam.  

Beyond that, the argument you speak of is a form of capitulation, and I feel like we're not trying to bend the knee to neo-national socialists at all? I'm not thinking about the feelings of these idiots when I say we shouldn't be doing things that legitimize their cause. It's moreso trying to make sure both sides are held accountable for bullstuff at all times.

engaging in dialogue with radicals legitimizes their rhetoric and gives them a public platform to spread their radical ideas. fighting them obvs just deepens their sense of detachment from the rest of society and deepens their attachment to their ideology. stigma is probs the most effective way that a society would deal with ideas that are seen as fundamentally at odds with mainstream culture, and charlottesville seems to be turning out as a major landmark in that regard. i don't think i know of any republicans that condone what went down there, and i don't think most people would feel comfortable being associated with them either

the convenient thing here is that racism and bigotry are already p universally stigmatized in our society, people just never think they're the tribals (i forget the term for this psychological phenomenon)
