Ethiopians, too... that is getting closer to the root of the issue, but there's no place to have this discussion. At least not yet.

I've lost family, but not over "ideals", but over programmatic thinking and their need for social cohesion. If some of my family members were to accept my thinking, they would be canceled by the greater society they exist in, and may even lose their income. These are powerful social stressors at work now, and should be addressed soon. "Shunning" and "Ex-Communication" have always been proven to be bad, and the founders of the new-left, who were themselves shunned when opposing the war in Vietnam, should know better.

Yes, I am most appalled by the left asking not to be stereotyped and forcibly identified, then in turn, THEY stereotype and forcibly identify others. Classic description of a hypocrite. BTW, I am a registered Dem in California, now shunned and cancelled for my views, even though I remain a classic liberal on most things. It's time for moderate, common-sense, centrist to stand up.

@griz063 Wow, you are deep in the deep end. Well before this "post-modern", neo-Marxist, bogeyman you believe in was created, I lived as a hetro-male in San Francisco. The Lesbian and Gay movement did not have the "framework" you describe, but did use those tactics, which are nothing new, and were used by Anarchist in the late 19th Century. I agree with the other poster, it was great to watch two Gay men discuss issues not laden and framed by "Gay" politics, it shows maturity and normalization.

@FuzzyMarineVet I "know" history, but don't understand it. LMAO - Time to dampen the noise and increase the signal.

@FuzzyMarineVet Would that apply to Senator Byrd?

@jaquelinemoore2998 I agree, Marxism predicted a war between the working class and the rich, when that didn't pan out, they modified their strategy to be a race war. But if you look at the actual numbers in the Street, they are very small, only inflated by the constant media attention. I'm most concerned by sports teams pandering to the false narrative, hope that ends soon.

@Vermonster23 I was told that in 1963 when Kennedy was assassinated. I'm still waiting for that "design" to role out. LMAO.

@almyska467 BLM is pure plagiarism of tactics and rhetoric that's more than 50 years old. Watch the documentary on the Weather'man' Underground. It's on Amazon Prime and features Obama's friend, Bill Ayers.
2
@almyska467 LMAO, yes, there's an Egyptian stele that does actually blame the Hittites for everything. The "Sea Peoples" are back, those damn predatory anarchist have reappeared from the 1,200 BCE, to be sure. History does not repeat itself, but DNA sure does.

You don't have to be "religious" to vote Trump 2020, it's common sense. not supernatural.

You can't fully control for personal animus, but you can provide a legal recourse for grievances, which we have, imperfect as it is. Tribalism and "cronyism" will always be with us, that's why we have a framework to moderate and rectify that behavior when it occurs. That's the "system" they want to dump, and why their rhetoric is incoherent.

Not an accurate or helpful remark, it's baseline equal to how Dems distort, so how are you different?

Really, I thought Jefferson signed the Act ending the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade in 1807? If you said 1896, I might agree, with the Plessy v Ferguson ruling. The decision was 1st successfully challenged 50 years later in the Mendez v. Westminster case, not far from me in Santa Ana, California, a decade before Brown. The "systemic" system was never monolithic, and was constantly being fought and challenged. Sounds like basic human behavior to me, not some Deep State conspiracy. Are there after effects, absolutely. Should there be some form of repair? I believe so, but what would that be, and how would it be applied? Many communities and individuals suffered "systemic" exclusion, how should that injustice be repaired?

I am a registered Dem in SoCal, voting for Trump, do you think I'm being played in some sinister conspiracy funded by Soros and the Rothchilds?

@griz063 Sure, but no secret, BLM is on record as Structural Marxists, which is no "evil", just human, and not so "neo", or "post-modern" as coined by the so-called "Dark Web". But as in my day, there are very few Marxists on the streets, almost all are in Academia. Ironically, "sinister" is defined as something "evil" on, or coming from the left", look it up LMAO. : "Sinister has an etymology that might seem a bit biased against the left-handed portion of the population, as this word, which has had naught but disagreeable meanings for over five hundred years now, comes from a Latin word of the same spelling that means “on the left side.” We find this root in other English words, such as the adjective sinistral (“left-handed”) and the adverb sinistrad (“toward the left side”). "

@griz063 I won't debate the "post-modern" part of your equation, since it encompasses Art, Music, Literature, and only secondarily, politics. As for "neo-Marxism", I see what's on the street more in line with autonomist Marxism, and within Academia, as the Empiricist took power from the clerics, a kind of 3rd Wave Christian reformation took place, with Karl Marx as God-Head, his only begotten son, who died for our sins, Che Guevara, as the new Christ. You can see that iconography all over campuses in the Western world. It is a religion, with Dogma, Catechism, Inquisition, and Ex-Communication. People like JBP and Haidt see its beginnings in the 1990's, but in my experience, it began about 1968, and started gaining real bureaucratic power with my peers in the mid-1970's. The bitter seeds of the "Long March" are just now bearing fruit. But the fruit is puny and lacks energy. Herbert Marcuse was right, no revolution for America, got to get to the kids.

@griz063 Sure, I have a neighbor in my condo who is a PhD at a major university, he's been in "ethnic studies" since 1982 and became chair of his dept 15 years ago. We've discussed critical theory many times, and one of the tactics of the new "clerics", is Qualitative Methodology" which is purported to be the EQ of empirical evidence, except the human subject can change their data at anytime, and for any reason, even in a longitudinal study, because that's only "ethical". So they are now pushing anecdote as scientific evidence. My neighbor gave me an evil smile and said, "just wait, we are making inroads in the STEM courses, too. And they are.

@griz063 I agree, in some ways, I am a Marxist, and even the neo-Marxists like Herbert Marcuse and Murray Bookchin disavowed those acting on the basis of his pamphlets and teachings, Angela Davis being among them. Marxism has shattered into a million different factions that rarely, if ever, coalesce into anything solid. What Lenin and Trotsky got wrong is "cultural" Marxism, that man could transcend and transform into a new man through "Culture". I think we have to wait for DNA, mostly.

@griz063 Yes, and I totally agree, the idea of "Other Ways of Knowing" crept into Academia with the New Agers during the 1970's, and hopefully, without blowing a dog whistle, 2nd Wave Feminism. Feminist Theory is 3rd rail subject matter, but will have to be addressed if the tide is to be stemmed. I am currently not focused on issues of Ontology or Truth. My focus is on the moment, as we are lucky to be conscious beings at a time when the crack in our cosmic egg has begun. For some, it's an ending, for others, it's a beginning, both are true. We have the agency to choose which truth to act on.

You do not need to be "religious" to recognize good over bad, outcome and empirical evidence is sufficient reason to vote Trump 2020. I am a Dem in SoCal for Trump 2020.

@almyska467 Older than the 5th Century BCE? That's Trump's play book, the "Art of War" by Sun Tzu. That tactic was even used in the pre-Columbian Western Hemisphere, and why Cortez was able to immediately get indigenous allies against the Aztecs. The tactic is endemic to not just humans, it's even used among Chimps, so it's even older than humans. LMAO, you guys always attribute this stuff to only Western European colonialism, RUBBISH!
1
@almyska467 Yes, that was my assumption. Do you believe the tactic is only used by Western European power elites to oppress the masses, or can just anyone oppress the masses with this technique?
