“Literally, I woke up in a bad mood and decided someone shouldn’t be allowed on the Internet. No one should have that power.”

- They would shut down any opposition without giving it any second thought. That's how dictatorship works.uan
- my point is, he didn't kick them from the internet, just from his servers, and this was a good decision.uan
- Sure, but the article encompaesses much more than the Cloudfront CEO's position - it's aimed at Google et al, which 'ARE' the internet essentially.detritus
- Agreed this is concerning. So is the rush to pass laws labelling white nationalists "terrorists", given the power the U.S. government has acquired since 9/11.yuekit

Want to make sure you all saw this photo. It's the line of people in Durham waiting to turn themselves in for toppling the Confed statue.

- or just a bad ass bike for its time. why do people have to get all weird and look for deeper meaning.deathboy
- it was a fuckin cool bikedeathboy
- I didn't get the BMX memo - who's been complaining about this bike?fadein11
- the car can be perceived as a racist statement as the show depicted a biased picture of the culture of the southern states.uan
- now the reason you like this bike is not the ideology that Lee tried and failed to defend. but the cool car that made amazing stunts in the show.uan
- you ever take it off any sweet jumps?imbecile

Someone should go and dynamite that statue while nobody is looking.
- and then the alt right can say "look! we nazis are the good guy fighting terrorist" ....pango
- ^sarahfailin
- ^^GuyFawkes
- So what. They are saying that anyway.cannonball1978
- And doing that would legitimize those asshole.pango
- already happened in durham. (mob pulled down a statue)imbecile
- Dynamite? What, like fucking Wile E. Coyote?!!face_melter
- +1 @pangoplash
- No. No it wouldn't legitimize it. We are detonating a statue, not committing a terror act against the alt right. Your logic is stupid.cannonball1978

- i thought they officially embraces pepe.... i can't tell anymore...pango
- the real scum bag white pride nazi fucks do, but I didn't realize they would put that on a peaceful march postersmonospaced
- the right has been arguing that their protest was legitimate and should be respected, and then I see this and I see a disconnect and I don't believe itmonospaced

In response to the Antifa / alt left stuff:
http://www.politico.com/magazine…
"Something like “alt-left” was always going to happen; it’s a product of whatever it is in our brains that conditions them to think in terms of opposites. As soon as everyone starts talking about the “alt-right”—that inchoate and incoherent grouping of Nazis, Klansmen, resentful failsons sweating from video games and chicken fingers, cynical media wannabes, bloviating internet commenters who think they’re Ignatius J. Reilly, and others who think they’re the Joker—that word seems to sit on one side of a seesaw, across from a silence waiting to be filled. If there’s an alt-right, there must, somewhere, somehow, be something called an alt-left, otherwise the universe is unbalanced. And while the universe is unbalanced—everywhere, from the points of terrifying heat scattered haphazardly across a lonely void, to the murder and oppression that break out constantly across the world and are never met with justice—for a lot of mediocre intellects, good judgment basically consists of pretending that everything balances out somehow, and all the ledgers are even. Something like the alt-right sticks out, a lexical blasphemy: to put the world in order, you have to invent something equivalent on the left."

"As members of a largely anarchist movement, antifascists don’t want the government to stop white supremacists from gathering. They want to do so themselves, rendering the government impotent. . . .
"Antifa believes it is pursuing the opposite of authoritarianism. Many of its activists oppose the very notion of a centralized state. But in the name of protecting the vulnerable, antifascists have granted themselves the authority to decide which Americans may publicly assemble and which may not. That authority rests on no democratic foundation. Unlike the politicians they revile, the men and women of antifa cannot be voted out of office. Generally, they don’t even disclose their names.
"Antifa’s perceived legitimacy is inversely correlated with the government’s. Which is why, in the Trump era, the movement is growing like never before."

As a flaming leftist and activist for forever, I feel discouraged and alienated by the escalating violence coming from the left, and I worry how things will escalate as more protests occur. Trump talked about violence on both sides, and it would be easier to say our side was without sin, were it not for these forces who are advocating violence and unilaterally shutting down people's ability to speak and demonstrate.
The Alt-Right is setting up a fake enemy in the "Alt-Left," but this would be harder to do if there weren't forces of violent, leftist activists. The violence of the far right remains, and has been historically, much worse. But that fact should not legitimize any amount of physical violence against people who are demonstrating peacefully.
People on both sides are showing up to each other's demonstrations with battle armor, shields, clubs, knives and guns. The resulting melees are launching what would otherwise be small rallies (Like in Sacramento in June 2016 when 10 people were stabbed) to headline, national news.
I feel like I can only plea to my own side to remain peaceful. Impinging on lawful (however repugnant) demonstrations will only garner sympathy for the Alt-Right and Crocodile-Tears Cantwell.

I find it funny that people are losing their shit over these statues and what they stand for and maybe rightfully so, maybe all the evils committed in the past should be vindicated, but do any of these triggered SJWs feel so much white liberal guilt that they are willing to leave their country and give it back to the natives? isn't that the ultimate social injustice? We're talking about a full blown fucking genocide.
They take the moral high ground on every stupid fucking issue but they ignore the biggest and most hypocritical one.
crickets.
- are you suggesting there isn't an advocacy movement for first peoples?plash
- I think the next step is repatriate all US citizens back to their mother countries and clear out the USA back to Indian days...robotron3k
- if i can be facetious, don't see anyone pulling down the statue of liberty, the ultimate symbol of unwanted immigration to your land, of european colonialism_niko

here's to your "illegal protest" omg: http://www.nbc29.com/story/36099…
but facts don't matter to you, just tactics.
- at 11:40am: Using megaphones, police then declared an unlawful assembly and gave a five-minute warning to leave Emancipation Park.omg
- "By early afternoon, hundreds of rallygoers had made their way to a larger park two miles to the north." and your "car accident" was murder.plash
- you were pushing that the counter protesters did not have permits to assemble.plash
- what makes you think the car wasn't attacked causing driver to accelerate accidentally hitting a car, which hit another car, that ran over the poor girl?omg
- videos showed he was attacked and surrounded by an angry mob with baseball bats.omg
- that car was not the only car being attacked that day. other videos shows multiple cars were getting attacked that day.omg
- attacked? lol.
https://www.youtube.…dorf - because he purposefully drove it at deadly speeds into a crowd of people protesting his message of hate, that's why, omgmonospaced
