- Why did the incident in Charlottesville gather so much media attention?
|
I am in no way trying to downplay this, but none of the other Anti-fa and Alt-Right clashes gathered this much attention. Hell even high level Republicans such as Mitch McConnell, Marco Rubio, and Paul Ryan have come out and condemned the Alt-Right which never happens.

Because domestic terrorism actually took place at this event, unlike the 'terrorists' who busted a window out of a Starbucks.

Because the media is desperate to show the right as being bad after years and years of the left constantly proving how s*** they are. of course, media coverage of terrorist attacks is "desperate" when the perpetrator is a white republican |

The President is not afraid to issue direct personal insults to others
But when it comes to the AltRight and White Supremacists he tends to give half-assed remarks about how all sides need to settle down So as to not alienate his base, of which there are a lot of racists and nationalists.

As shown in figure 2, fatalities resulting from attacks by far right wing violet extremists have exceeded those caused by radical Islamist violent extremists in 10 of the 15 years, and were the same in 3 of the years since September 12, 2001. Of the 85 violent extremist incidents that resulted in death since September 12, 2001, far right wing violent extremist groups were responsible for 62 (73 percent) while radical Islamis violent extremists were responsible for 23 (27 percent).

"right-wing" and "liberal" are not opposites. Also no, an ideology that wants the government and state to be united under authoritarian doctrine is not right-wing. That's basically the antithesis of right-wing.

I am sorry that, the independent that you are, get offended that there are evil groups on the right. I can name bad leftists. The Soviet Union, Antifa, eco-terrorists, any extreme left-wing group ever. It is pretty bold of you to assert your proper definitions all over the place when almost no one agrees with those definitions. But that just mean everyone is a scared PC liberal unlike truth-speakers like yourself, huh? And how can you have the balls to talk to me about thinking one side holds all the evil when you jump through hoops to assert anything that isn't a capitalist utopia as left-wing. A Sharia state is not left-wing or liberal or anything like that. |

Does Mal actually believe "National Socialism" is socialism? Is that where he's getting his bizarre Nazis are left wing nonsense from?

Also, "left" is not the same thing as "liberal". If you ever went onto actual leftist forums like leftypol or something similar, you'd know that. They hate liberals.

What do you call a state that controls the means of production, dictates what products a factories are to produce, what price they're allowed to sell them for, and how much they are to pay their workers? Sounds way more like Venezuela today than any capitalist nation, doesn't it?

because the alt right are literal nazis while anti fa just shares similar ideals
Are they literal Nazis? Or do you just like to use that word? Do they salute Hitler? Do they use swastikas?
Yes?
They saluted Hitler and Trump, wore and waved swastikas, and chanted "Blud und Boden" yesterday and today. Next?

That's called Communism. Specifically, Soviet style Communism and not Marxism.
Any group of people who advocate for violence I would put out of left/right or liberal/conservative dichotomy entirely and call them radicals. Theres no place for violence in a civilized society, pure and simple

Are you including war as violence, or excluding it to avoid the awkward situation of declaring all of mainstream politics to be radical?

Contemporary socialists and communists certainly were not celebrating Hitler's rise. But I'm sure Mal knows more about the tenets of socialism than the socialists.
The National Socialist party was a socialist grassroots movement that was hijacked by HItler and they transformed it into something that had nothing to do with Socialism but they kept the name.
Hitler hated Socialism unless it had to do with war efforts. The only thing he hated more than Socialism was Jews.

More dicey waters, because war also includes that of self-defense, but yea I'm including war as violence. Anyone who doesnt agree with the non-aggression principle is radical as far as I'm concerned, but theres plenty of leftists as well as the far right who believes in it, most notably left and right anarchists.

Marx said that the goal of Socialism was to create Communism.
If anything, Hitler was a "tankie" socialist with a nationalist dint, like Stalin was except Stalin was globalist.

That's not what Marx said at all. Marx defined Socialism as a transitionary phase to Communism after the collapse of a capitalist government due to unsustainable capitalist policies.

The whole thing falls apart immediately when you remember socialists were on the Nazis' hit list. And Hitler hated communism. That was one of the major driving forces of the Eastern front and why it was so much more brutal than the Western front.
Mal is using a definition of socialism that no academic uses.ratings. the media has generally been stoking the flames of this s*** for a long time. the more explosive the results of violence the more eyes drawn to it, the more they can make.

No they fueled it with their own idiocy by leading attempts to overthrow the government via violent means that destabilized the government, and ultimately paved the way for a group of violent idiots to seize power.
