Interesting spelling.
The Unite the Right rally [4] was a white supremacist[5][6][7][8] rally that occurred in Charlottesville, Virginia, from August 11 to 12, 2017.[9][10] Protesters were members of the far-right and included self-identified members of the alt-right,[11] neo-Confederates,[12] neo-fascists,[13] white nationalists,[14] neo-Nazis,[15] Klansmen,[16] and various right-wing militias.[17] The marchers chanted racist and antisemitic slogans, carried semi-automatic rifles, Nazi and neo-Nazi symbols (such as the swastika, Odal rune, Black Sun, and Iron Cross), the Valknut, Confederate battle flags, Deus Vult crosses, flags and other symbols of various past and present anti-Muslim and antisemitic groups.”
Surely you remember this? A white supremacist drove a vehicle into a crowd.
He knows. He was there.
They dressed up and shouted some slogans.
I did not consider this a seismic event at the time.
Does anyone know if there is a block button on this site and how to locate it?
Back in the olden days, when this site had a yellow font and a black background, there was one.
I can still see your posts and call you out as a troll. You aren’t even an American.
The white nationalists encircled the smaller group of counterprotesters at the base of the statue, and a brawl ensued.[118][102][120][119] Several people on both sides were reportedly hit with pepper spray, and several people were treated for minor injuries.[117] The white nationalists began swinging and throwing their lit tiki torches amid the chaos.
Declared a state of emergency and lots of people injured? It was all over the news and the President commented on it. I don’t know what seismic event means to you but it wasn’t chants and then everyone went home.
He’s going to troll when he answers.
“Several people were treated for minor injuries.”
Several is defined as ‘more than two but not many.’
And there’s the trolling.
Does anybody know if this site still has the Private Message function?
Back in the golden days, it did. But there were a number of scandals and I think it got deleted.
Has there been one added with the fancy revamp?
A crybaby troll, truly pathetic. A real American wouldn’t be so soft.
That was just the day one stuff. Day two much more.
We’re just going to have to disagree here. You think it’s no big deal that a group of white supremacists came armed to the teeth and caused a bunch of chaos (and yes then they got involved with whackos from the other side).
A white supremacist drove a vehicle into a group of people and injured lots and killed one. The Republican US attorney general called it domestic terrorism.
If it’s no big deal to you it’s fine. But that was not the reaction of most of the nation.
Possible troll responses: I wouldn’t call them white supremacists. Who labelled them white supremacists? What’s a white supremacist? You call that chaos?
I don’t agree with what happened.
I don’t agree with violence like this.
It is my contention that these kind of problems are likely to increase over the coming decades, as Americans become more, not less, tribal with the ever changing demographics of the nation.
What’s the solution?
There isn’t a solution, America is too far gone.
I do not foresee there being a workable or peaceful answer to the demographic problems America will face this century.
I believe major conflict is inevitable. Who knows what the outcome of that will be.
Edit:
The country is currently dying. It cannot even enforce its own border due to internal political conflicts and vested interests.
The most powerful civilisation in all history does not have the will or ability to enforce its own border.
It looks fine from where I’m standing.
You can thank conservatives for the border issues. They want open borders. Ask Friedman. Then again, he’s Jewish (and dead) so never mind.
It probably is still fine, for the time being.
Do you think if tens of millions of Spanish speakers keep being added to the population, they are going to bother becoming native level English speakers? Why would they bother? No doubt, issues like that are ‘racist’ and don’t mean anything though.
If unlimited immigration was such a monumental net positive,
- Why has it not happened across Europe and Africa?
- Why do either of those places have any borders at all?
- Indeed, why do any nations have borders?
Yes. Because they have.
Money. Education.
It has. All those Europeans came from somewhere.
They are continents so I don’t know what you mean.
Taxation.
