I was confused on... why question someone who is just uncomfortable with people making fun of the disabled, so I didn't know if Odin was going to have an overarching point on morality.

Also, to get back into politics as well... apparently North Korea's missile over Japan was the beginning of a Pacific Operation.

I mean, morality as an objective unified truth is nonexistant is my point, lol.

*jots down notes* Uh huh....uuuh huh...

Just because people don't know it that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. If you take all moral theories and criss-reference what is similar in all you will probably be able to get a sort of true "meta morality." Alternatively life is meaningless morality is a lie and hail satan

But seriously there is a late school of thought of nietzchean edgefags who think morality is merely a restraint for superior beings

@Andreyich Even if you cross reference you're only going to end up with the average of all moralities, not the one true collection of moralities that possess the holy power of being always right.

Or perhaps there is one person who adheres to the one true morality and everyone else is just a heretical deviant.

And possibly that person is me.

All bow to our Lord and saviour.

So, it seems that the Left-leaning Politico let this out and into the public today that Antifa is a domestic terrorist group based on classified material they obtained. Unsurprisingly, it details everything from how some are affiliated with the Islamic State, that there is a possible threat of their use of improvised explosive devices, to the fact that they are blatantly an anti-United States movement. No less, the key words of "medium confidence" are in place about their motives, meaning in layman's terms, they are fairly aware of who they are and the threat they represent. This is another one of those cases where "We warned you." should have been taken more seriously.

And yet they're still seen as preferable to, you know, the side what has Nazis.

Which is where the infamous double standard comes from. No one is supporting the Neo-Nazis or actual white nationalists but themselves and their own, yet for a time somehow Antifa was viewed as a "force for good". It amuses me further that the actual domestic threat, the Alt-Left, which has not only greater numbers, organization, and activity, has also been given this much freedom despite being the very thing they claim to hate. There's a certain irony to attacking others with shields that read "NO HATE" and throwing deadly weapons at policemen while witch hunting bystanders because one thinks they support a "fascist President".

And yet they're still seen as preferable to, you know, the side what has Nazis.

Literal Nazi's.

I'm glad we have a new right wing boogie man now that Obama isn't coming to take our guns and march us to FEMA camps (or is he!!!).

I wonder what confidence level the FBI puts on those sneaky PETA terrorists.

Literal Nazi's.

Ahem.

Hold the phone, does this mean that Politico has joined the hallowed ranks of Brietbart as real news?!

@mdk
Please don't labor under the misapprehension that I'm going to watch any videos posted here.

@mdk Also a little unrelated but what do you think of James Allsup?

@The Harbinger of Ferocity Sorry I should have tagged you as well Cat-Man, do you have an opinion on James Allsup? (if you've heard of him).

No, just that something people might listen to was chosen because they view it as unbiased or perhaps less biased; the reality is, is that they are neither of these things and are just as bad as VICE, CNN, MSNBC, Salon, et cetera. Additionally, they were the first to break the story. If you want actual news, you need go digging for it or find agencies that actually make an attempt to report on stories, even if they do not fit the mainstream narrative. Politico is Left leaning and only put this out as a means to further distance itself, along with the rest of the normal media as they have over the past week, from the Alt-Left that is Antifa and other violent insurrectionist groups. This is the same reason you are seeing those who were adamantly supporting Antifa and their ilk back peddling and tripping over themselves in doing so.

It should also go without saying that if you read the article, they do everything they can to somehow blame the President of the United States for the rise of the Alt-Left rather than pulling together its history, that distant and more recent. All the election of Donald Trump and his administration did was set off the already stockpiled dry timber. Now hopefully they will burn themselves out, with added aid from the government.

No

FAKE NEWS!

I know of James Allsup but I do not make any effort to follow him or his identity, @Dynamo Frokane. From what little I know he was assaulted by rioters with a flagpole, which more or less started his limited fame, and later on made a controversial appearance at Charlottesville where he made an impromptu speech. From the latter, I also recall him condemning the violence of both sides, but also being harassed for not focusing on the Neo-Nazis - as we saw too the same reaction be leveled at the President. After that, opposition researchers dug into his personal and private history and labeled him any number of the usual terms.

As normal for myself, I really do not take heed or fall in line to anyone else's perspective, so if there is a specific question you have in mind about him I am not familiar enough to give a fair answers.

FAKE NEWS!

"Lets pull single words or quotes out of context and then criticize it under the thin veil of our "superior" humor! We know our opinion is the only right one because we are so progressive that we make no effort to look into it and post supporting citation of it! Let's not look at opposing viewpoints' links or videos posted because lulz its 2017!"

You do realize that is how this behavior portrays itself, correct?

The President might not be responsible for the rise of the 'alt-left' but he certainly hasn't helped the situation. Weirdly when someone in a position of power starts demonstrating things reminiscent of fascism, people start claiming said person in power is possibly a fascist. There's been a stupid and weird 'war' between left and right since before the election, only before the election it was from right side shit stirrers up in arms over lefties wanting to get rid of free speech because they dare to say that saying nigger and faggot and words like that are not cool. It was a lot of Chicken Little shit and now that they have a disorganized mess of a group like Antifa running around it's like vindication.

I don't think Antifa is going about it correctly at all but it's hard for me to think of them as worse than, you know, white supremacists and Nazis. And saying they're equally bad is disingenuous.
