What radicalized you?

[cawacko]

Baltimore has always been referred to as Bmore, be more careful, for a reason, and I w@s there also

I played golf a couple of times recently with this (black) guy in his early 60’s who grew up in the projects of Baltimore. (Dude said he balled at Dunbar High).

He said his mother would check he and his brother’s arms and legs each night growing up to make sure they weren’t doing heroin.

you were at teh festival in '69?

I almost got there . My friends older brother had a chopped Harley 1200
( I rode it one time -was too terrified to try to change gears..lol)
and offered me a lift...my parents would have locked me in the basement until I was 18 if is did so
so we just saw him off

You didn’t read correctly, “last year,” the site is a museum now, but I was in the actual Woodstock three weeks ago, been there many times, quant village, still bohemian

As Graham Nash said once, if all the people who told him they were at or on their way to the Woodstock music festival actually were the earth would have tipped those three in one direction with the weight of all the people

no. I have a friend in California who will blast you if you say "Frisco"
apparently natives dont use that

But the fact remains that Baltimore has always been known as Bmore, meaning be more careful, I was at Fort Meade when it was still First Army and that was a given

As they age, people who have moved away from the city of their youth always remember it as the way it was, forgetting everything changes, and nothing stays the same, areas once forgotten are now booming while the old neighborhood declined, it is natural, as Thomas Wolfe wrote, “you can never go home again”

He was just describing his experience growing up there during what he said was a heroin epidemic in the City

you were in the army with others not from Balwamer..
Closest i can tell you is "Bmor"is touristy - like "Frisco" is for Californians ears (i'm told)

rise of feminism, anti-war movement, alternative lifestyles, gays coming out of the closet,
"are you experienced", "question authority", breaking sex based role models, black power ..

So OK...so you're saying all of that radicalized you into becoming a fascist?

no question- what was that show "Homicide Life on the Streets?" It was a perfect representation
Dope runs the cops, politicians, corner boys - it;s everything

But that started mostly after the MLK riots that burned down the downtown
( man i'll never forget those couple nights - orange glow coming from downtown)

The place was nice "Charm city" had southern charm, but northern hustle and bustle

Seems so. Dukkah is anti-woman, pro-war, anti-gay.
He is against "experience," and black power.

Yes, typical fascist.

simplistic garbage from a millennial without life experience or understanding anything outside of socialism
force fed down your throat

 

[LV426]

Excuse me, but are you saying we’re JEALOUS of the left?

I think what they're saying is that the excuse you fascists use for becoming fascists is purely disingenuous.

Spoken like a dumb Trump sucker.

Agree. They pretend their hatred is rational.

Fuck you, you lying piece of shit.

Fact is you didn't need a reason to become a fascist, you're just coming up with bullshit so you don't look like someone whose natural inclinations are toward lies, authoritarianism, bigotry, and yet more lies.

Every single thing you've ever written on JPP has been a lie.

None of it has ever been truthful.

You have repeated and disseminated Russian propaganda on JPP since as long as I've been on this board.

Why did you lie about getting an unsolicited ballot in 2020?

The Trojan has a point, can’t say I recall anyone I know, or who ever knew, sitting around discussing when they were supposedly radicalized

Besides, what is radically to one is moderate to another, the political spectrum is more of a circle than longitudinal, I have two friends, one far right, other left, yet if you listen to them, you’d see they have a lot in common, especially when it comes to generalizing and scapegoating

When I think of radicalization I think of extremists, violence, terrorism. That type of thing. People who sit around talking about their property values, their 401K, which fancy school their children go to etc. don't also sit there and say "I'm totally radicalized now".

And I don't really picture those who are radicalized sitting around arguing about Democrats and Republicans. That's too mainstream. (unless your position is the two parties are the same and something far more extreme needs to take their place)

But you're a reactionary centrist, so you're absolutely radicalized.

Indeed. cawacko is pretty close to being a right wing kook.

Progressives have a radical agenda -even they will tell you they are out to redo the USA..
same with the 1619 crackpots.
so that is Congress and academia that have radicalized elements

I'd ask you for evidence of this, but you are too cowardly to discuss your claims.
