Another protest.....

Protest Trump Downtown Phoenix

Okay, I'm making an effort to not come across as a dick, but I still don't understand the context of your first post. Now I am even more confused because your response to my "huh?" was to post a Facebook link to a anti-Trump rally?

Are you inviting us to attend the rally?

Why are the commenters "stupid?"

I gave him the benefit of doubt and checked out the page. And that page is absolutely full of not just stupid people but fucking morons. They outright claim Trump is the leader of the white supremacists. There's one woman that brought her 6 year old because the 6 year old wanted to "fight for her rights". They were tear gassed and thankfully someone gave the child a gas mask. But then the moron decided to take a picture and post it for the Interwebz to see.

Lotta good that must have done. Here's how you do crowd control.

And the militant wing of Antifa, the Black Bloc has declared war on journalist's.

So our lawmakers need to be checked for low IQ. There's a reason the bases in the South were named for Confederate Generals and regiments maintained their history in the National Guard. It's called reconciliation: Lawmakers push to rename Fort Rucker, other military bases that honor Confederate leaders

My point about the event page is I read some of the stuff and there are a lot people willfully ignorant.

Explain to the class why you think renaming bases named after Civil War generals is "low IQ"

Im pretty sure that's not what he wrote.

He said that our lawmakers need to be checked for "low IQ". Said lawmakers want to rename bases that bear the names of confederate generals. The implication is that people who want to rename those bases are low IQ people.

Fort Hood, will always be "the hood" no matter what general they name that dump after...:-"

 

[racing_kitty]

Fort Hood is a botched abortion thrown in a dumpster fire, and named after an abject failure of a general officer. I think it is rather apropos. Trash for trash.

I was curious and decided to follow-up on an earlier post about our collective attention span.

CNN: Nothing about this story on its main page.
MSNBC: One opinion piece
Fox: Several articles/ opinion pieces buried down the small print area of its home page.

If it wasn't for Facebook this wouldn't be on your radar. The fire's dying out and your pot's going to stop boiling soon. Until the next time when we'll repeat the process.

 

[Frank S.]

Generally speaking, I agree. That said, I find it interesting to note who posts and who no longer does, and then cross reference that with the members' background and current (known) occupation/field.
And I don't think things are gonna stop boiling soon. The bill for the Wall coming down may be finally due after 28 years.

Before I forget, when are we tearing down Charles Lindbergh's and Henry Ford's statues?

Or how about the law makers have low IQ for not understanding why they were named for Confederate generals in the first place? I mean, he did mention that directly after the IQ statement.

And while we're tearing shit down, let's not forget all the Capitoline Wolf statutes sent by the Mussolini that are on display in multiple cities.

Actually, we should just do away with all reminders to history. They're all flawed figures and any "accomplishments" certainly should not be celebrated or remembered. I mean, really, the idea of viewing accomplishments through the lens of the time period during which they took place is silly.

 

[DA SWO]

Look when those bases were activated, I suspect those names were chosen to garner support from the locals.

Couldn't agree more with this thought.

As a collective, our society's outrage is superficial at best. Maybe we still have some deep rooted beliefs but it doesn't seem so. Our memories are too short. We're too disconnected. Do people even remember that every day we're involved in a shooting war in multiple countries? You won't even find a note of it on the aforementioned CNN and MSNBC webpages without some very serious digging. That's a huge problem.
