We have a responsibility on this Forum to do our part, however small, to stop White Supremacists

I am surprised that any thinking progressive would laugh off the Obama administration's ruthless treatment of migrant children in their custody - children under their "protection".

“Whatever your views on immigration policy, everyone can agree that the administration has a responsibility to ensure the safety of the migrant kids that have entered government custody until their immigration court date,” Mr. Portman said.

In the fall of 2013, thousands of unaccompanied children began showing up at the southern border. Most risked abuse by traffickers and detention by law enforcement to escape dire problems like gang violence and poverty in Central America.

As detention centers struggled to keep up with the influx, the Department of Health and Human Services began placing children in the custody of sponsors who could help them while their immigration cases were reviewed...."

"But officials at times did not examine whether an adult who claimed to be a relative actually was, relying on the word of parents, who, in some cases, went along with the traffickers to pay off smuggling debts."

Note that while some blind partisan Democrats have no shame regarding the grotesque systematic abuse of these vulnerable children the thinking Left has denounced Obama and his henchmen for what they have done. The truth still matters.

 

Heidegger's way of thinking has saturated the liberal arts departments of the Western academy. This list, with Heidegger rated among other thinkers, gives you an idea of how pervasive and perverse this Nazi's influence really is.

Which demonstrates why so much of what passes as the "progressive left" has embraced the irrational "anything is possible" concept advanced by Heidegger and Hitler that is the basis of all totalitarian thought.

Alan Sokal fully exposed just how insane this kind of thinking really is. You are among the few who noticed or remember.

 

It is all the text surrounding the text you said was out of context. I also provided a link to the complete text so you could paste up anything that I left out of context.

Now for you:

Please select the positions taken by the shooter in his "Manifesto" that the "progressive left" has consistently rejected.

 

Many prominent "progressives" have openly embraced the kind of deadly nihilism described in the El Paso shooters "Manifesto".

“Consumer culture is creating thousands of tons of unnecessary plastic waste and electronic waste, and recycling to help slow this down is almost non-existent. Urban sprawl creates inefficient cities which unnecessarily destroys millions of acres of land. We even use god knows how many trees worth of paper towels just wipe water off our hands. Everything I have seen and heard in my short life has led me to believe that the average American isn’t willing to change their lifestyle, even if the changes only cause a slight inconvenience. The government is unwilling to tackle these issues beyond empty promises since they are owned by corporations. Corporations that also like immigration because more people means a bigger market for their products. I just want to say that I love the people of this country, but *******n most of y’all are just too stubborn to change your lifestyle. So the next logical step is to decrease the number of people in America using resources. If we can get rid of enough people, then our way of life can become more sustainable.”
El Paso Killer’s Manifesto, Economic Reasons, 8/4/19.

What exactly did the NZ killer say that explains why the El Paso shooter chose to target Hispanics?

Do you have a link to the NZ killer's "Manifesto"? I cannot find one.

 

You said the quotes were out of context. Now you complain about too much context.

Do you deny the accuracy of the copy of the manifesto I found here?
If so, please provide a better source.

 

No red crayons this time?

You posted fake news again. The defeated Southerners who started the KKK were Democrats.

You do know the South lost the Civil War, right? Old Abe and his soldiers were Republicans.

 

where are the white supremacists? I live in the south, never met one and i'm an immigrant who has been here 20+ years. Where do they hide? I would like to see these mythical creatures... it's like looking for bigfoot.

 

Southern racists are southern racists irrespective of whichever political party they belong to any time in history.

Lincoln would NOT be a Republican today!

 

The Southern racists were Democrats and they founded the KKK. Own it. It's real history.

 

What the hell are you talking about! I'm not blaming "everything". I'm blaming the El Paso mass shooting. It's pretty clear on the OP. Is there any reason why you are trying to obfuscate this? Or why you try to dilute the responsibility by falsely claiming that I blame "everything"?

Your defense of a white supremacist murderer is puzzling. Please elaborate.

 

Nice phony outrage and fake statements about what I said.

 

What is even MORE SHAMEFUL is that GOP CURRENTLY OWNS the Southern Racists.

That is TODAY's REALITY!
