« Former Trump Lawyer Michael Cohen Pleads Guilty to Campaign Finance Violations; Claims He Paid Off Mistresses at Trump's "Direction" with "Purpose of Influencing Election" | Main | Trump Speech/Music Thread/Book Club Thread » August 21, 2018
Antifa Beats the Shit Out of Bernie Sanders Supporter, Thinking He's "Alt-Right" Because He... Was Carrying an American FlagSo that's the real definition of "alt-right" employed by the left now? When they're justifying their terroristic attacks, they claim they're "fighting Nazis." But the definition of "Nazi" turns out to be: "someone holding the flag of the nation that defeated the actual Nazis." John Sexton has the story and video. Now I'm going to say something, and I don't want it to be read as criticism of Sexton, or anyone else pushing this story. I understand why the story is being framed the way it is. I do. I want to talk about why the story can only be framed the way it is. Without finding fault for anyone on the right for framing it this way. But the way people on the right are framing this -- and I completely understand the reasons why -- is, "Look, Antifa says they beat up Nazis but they beat up nice liberal Bernie Sanders supporters." Now, that's the way I framed it too. The reason the story is framed this way is to dispute the media's argument that antifa only beats up Nazis -- as if that were legal or acceptable. But it's an argument that CNN clown Chris Cuomo, son of one American governor and brother of another, has made on TV, justifying Antifa's terroristic violence. You can read Nolte's excellent article on that, or John Sexton's very good piece. Cuomo -- and I'm sure he did this in coordination ("collusion") with CNN editorial -- implicitly, deliberately endorses terroristic violence by CNN's ground troops in Antifa, while using Yasser-Arafat-like slippery language in doing so, so he can claim he was just saying "Nazis are bad." That's a lie. I'm sure his script was vetted by CNN and he wrote it several times so that he could justify terroristic violence by the left while retaining some slight scraps of plausible deniability on the point. But getting back to the why-is-the-story-framed-this-way problem: Many normal conservatives have been beaten in the street, had eggs thrown at them, been maced in the face, etc. The media provides air cover for its ground troops, Antifa. So people frame the story in this way -- a Bernie Sanders supporter was viciously attacked by antifa! -- because the media and city police forces have already decided that conservatives are not human and are not owed civil rights and that it is now de facto legal to brutalize them in the street. People resort to emphasizing this was a Bernie Sanders supporter because we all understand, and we have all internalized, that the media and Democrat-controlled police forces have deemed us subhuman noncitizens who are of a lesser caste and may be beaten by the higher castes as they choose. So we all have to emphasize that this is a Bernie Sanders supporter. We could not, say, emphasize that the lesbian girl who was maced in the face by Antifa for the crime of wearing a red MAGA hat was a Trump supporter, because we know that that, in the left's mind, makes her a valid Target of Opportunity. So we are forced to accept their definition of us as subhuman and beneath the protections of the law. We could not say "They did this to a Trump supporter!" of Charlie Kirk being assaulted (yes, dumping a drink on someone is assault and battery) because we have internalized it that, in the dominant, leftist-controlled rules of engagement, We deserve that. But this Bernie Suppporter? He doesn't deserve it. And that's what makes it bad. He, unlike us, does not deserve to be clubbed in the head on the street for carrying an American flag. We deserve that. He doesn't. Again, not criticism intended of John Sexton or the many other right-leaning writers writing the story in this way. As I also do not intended to criticize myself for framing it this way. I point this out only to emphasize to you How bad the situation is. We all have internalized we have no hope of having anyone in the media point out that beating conservative citizens in the streets is a social evil that borders on open civil war. So we have stopped even trying. We have simply moved on to complaining now that the left's fellow travelers are being beaten in the street, hoping against hope that maybe that will make them stop justifying beating conservatives in the street, as Chris Cuomo does on the Super-Patriotic American "news" outfit CNN. But that is itself hopeless. All the left will do is chide antifa for having chosen the wrong target of the wrong caste to beat in the street for the Nazi-like crime of carrying the American flag. But they will not criticize antifa for beating citizens in the street. Just for beating the First Class Citizens of the left in the street, mistaking them for the Second Class Citizens of the right, who you're allowed to beat. Nay -- morally required to beat. As Matt Yglesias does here.
At some point the shooting will begin, and people will be killed by the violence they supported, justified, and promoted -- not just the "right" targets, but the "wrong" leftwing targets too -- and these monsters will ask: "How did this happen?" Well: It was all you. People respect the social compact of civil peace only so long as that compact protects them as well. When they see that there is no longer a social compact of peace, they will begin violating it themselves. And once that starts in earnest: there is little chance of stopping it. Civil wars start off slowly, then enter a period of dramatic escalation, then enter a period of slow, grinding murder for years, until finally, so many people are dead and so much misery has been suffered that people are finally willing to make peace with those who have been murdering them. Ask the populations of any country who've gone through a civil war. But I'm sure our very smart media class knows all this, right? They're The Experts in everything. Just ask them! They'll tell you on twitter, after they liken domestic terrorists to those who liberated Europe from the actual Nazis:
Do you geniuses honestly think you're the only people who've thought "Gee, maybe some political vigilantism/terrorism against my enemies would be fun and profitable"? I know from the way you write you news reports, you don't think that. You think the right is eager to start murdering people. So why, Experts and Geniuses, do you insist on starting a civil war with people who you are convinced are arming themselves in the teeth only to start killing progressives? And then, of course, they whine: "We've been made to feel unsafe to express our First Amendment rights!" Really? Tell me -- What's that like? Because the people actually, currently being victimized by real violence want to hear all about what it's like to merely have back-of-the-mind fears of some future, possible, hypothetical violence. The idea of only facing hypothetical, possible, future sounds pretty sweet, at least to those of us actually, in reality, being targeted for violence. | Recent Comments
