    Trump and most of his supporters, and Republican candidates in general, are fully aware that their support mostly comes from what we might charitably call a remnant “Silent Majority” that is white, older, male, and fearful that their political and cultural power is threatened by the demographic shift toward people of color and generally more liberal youth. A blitz of propaganda from the right that couches the conflation of “cancel culture,” Confederate statue removal, and those Trump called “the radical left, the Marxists, the anarchists, the agitators, the looters” will seek to drive Republican turnout.


    The philosopher Susan Neiman herself has admitted that her own understanding of terror and suppression waged against Black Americans after the Civil War was sadly incomplete until recently, and that many Americans are ignorant of its cause. She has written about our own lack of knowledge in her book “Learning from the Germans” in which she compares the proactive actions Germany has taken to confront, atone for, and make at least partial restitution for the horror of the Holocaust, with our spotty record of education and understanding of our history.

    Confronting the need to remove these statues from places of honor should also force us to confront our long history of racism and suppression of Black and native peoples, and reflect on the best way to educate ourselves in the full, proud, but frequently flawed history of the USA.

    fascism is corporatism. and now it's mostly internationalist fascism that threatens humanity.

    public private partnership is textbook fascism.

    guno sucks at thinking.

    Incorrect, if you look at the support of progressivism and populism of the early twenty Century you’d find that they are the same segments that supported McCarthy in the 1950’s, and last I knew, he wasn’t appealing to a communist minded populace

    actually most high income old people like china and globalism because internationalist fascism has been incentivized by totalitarians, and they dont give a fuck about the future.

    you're looking at segments, not ideologies. that's the problem with identity politics, it's retarded.

    Nothing personal, but you seem to be lacking a knowledge of history along with a misunderstanding of political ideologies

    Do you have anything to disprove what I offered? Other than throwing around political terms, let’s see you apply them with historical references

    Hardly entertaining to engage with Trump supporters about history.

    No, I’m attempting to show the other poster he has a weak understanding of ideologies, he drops the terms, generalizes from there, but offer little else

    the meaningful division in this world is the divide between the rich and powerful, and the poor and powerless. so many resources are wasted on endless propaganda to convince us its about about something else.

    fiat currency and internationalist fascism are the establishment tools and ideologies for human subjugation, and most people don't even have the vocabulary to discuss the issues, due to strategic dumbing down of humanity through mind control and dysgenicists selecting for stupid.

    You told is above that the Founders were influenced by all kind of political ideologies that in reality were not even around at the time, and then moved on to defend your claim implying they were but suppressed. Using history I showed you your error, as I said, coming out of the Age of Absolutism, when Locke and Hobbs were the influencing philosophical thought, Libertarianism and Anarchy as ideologies would be irrelevant

    hey blm dummies, creating chaos and persecuting white people doesn't sanctify this system. reject your unthinking revenge based reptilian brain impulses, and stop acting like retards.
