Man, american politics are so thoroughly fucked. From the outside looking in, it honestly seems like neither side even sees the OTHERS as human anymore. The political divide has widened to sociopathic levels. Disturbing to watch people slavering for each others' blood.

this both sides bullshit is going to get us all killed. Trump ran on a platform of hatred and division, and that's how he's governed. He literally does not see black people or immigrants as human.

being unable to tell the difference between the fascists and the people opposing fascists, and admonishing the latter to be more civil...just get out fo the fucking way, already.

yeah, when you want to sacrifice high school kids to Moloch because you've decided your feelings about a symbol make them fascists, that's when people should definitely the fuck not be getting out of your way

Dude, this administration is literally sticking Central American children in camps along the border and multiple kids have died (btw a MAGA hat would seem to be an endorsement). I don’t see how that’s comparable to socially censuring a bunch of rich teenagers for being assholes.

"Their kids must suffer because other kids are suffering" is a dumb take, buddy. Go after the administration, or if you must, their voters, not children. Jesus Christ. I honestly wonder if your country will ever recover.

I try to be a charitable reader, but this is such a bad faith interpretation. You guys are saying a pox on both your houses. I’m saying angry tweets and angry emails are not at all comparable to the detention camps (that these kids were endorsing by supporting Trump).

Did they deserve the full extent of the social media shitstorm? Maybe not. But, man, it’s 2019, everyone has a smartphone, and they were on a school trip. Don’t do shit in public that you wouldn’t want on plastered all over the web.

they were minding their own business when somebody rolled up and manufactured a story using them as raw materials

Who cares if the Black Israelites started it? No one is defending the Black Israelites. Why do you think Nathan Phillips is a disingenuous political actor and these teenage boys are totally sincere in their explanations of the tomahawk chop, the circling, the “don’t touch him?”

i wasn't talking about them, i was talking about Phillips i think Phillips is disingenuous because he told a radically different, extremely damning story that evaporated like the morning dew the moment video demonstrating that it was complete bullshit got around

What parts of his story evaporated? From the beginning he said he was trying to get between the kids and the Black Israelites. Are you sure that in your zeal to avoid left wing agitprop you aren’t swallowing right wing agitprop hook, line and sinker?

Megan McArdleVerified account @asymmetricinfoNathan Phillips, the activist, is on his way to the memorial when Nick Sandmann, aka The Smirker, blocks his way. The kids have swarmed around him, cutting off retreat. They're at an impasse. Phillips starts beating his drum and praying, thinking of his late wife.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 1 like - 1 more reply
