Vandalism is ok, now. This is what we're being told.

It's only ok for POC or white people protesting for POC.
More memorials to racists being removed.
Catt, I have to say I am SHOCKED to learn a former owner of the Redskins was racist!
Roosevelt statue being removed.
Unlike the other statues being torn down, this one seems legit racist.

Not just former owner, founder! Who literally renamed the team to be the Redskins. Yyyaaaaaayyyyyy.
It's not me, it's someone else.

Ali's son isn't making friends with the BLM community.
Neither is rapper A$AP Rocky who was on some panel and caused a stir saying, and I'm paraphrasing, "60+ people were shot over Memorial Day weekend in Chicago, and the vast majority of the shootings were black on black crime, but nobody wants to talk about that."
Prison guards of color file complaint that they can't guard cop who killed Floyd.
Allow me to translate for this tweet: Dude joined a white pride group. Gathered screenshots, and now claims to be sending them to employers.
This is interesting to me in a first amendment sense and in an endgame sense.
1st amendment: They created their own private group to share their hateful feelings. This guy went out of his way to join, and now out, feelings they thought were being kept private. If they weren't plotting violence, is this ok? The "feel good" part says yes, but I'm not so sure.
Endgame: Ok, you want to "cancel" these folks for being private racists. You're trying to get them fired from their jobs. Why? Will that cure their racism? Or do you think it will drive them further down the racist hole? Maybe you're driving them into the arms of true hate groups? Groups that will take action. In 5 years will people in this group be involved with domestic terrorism?
I just see this type of stuff going the wrong way. "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."
Their hate isn't being squashed, it's being amplified. That shit makes me nervous.

Is it? I dunno, I think you can squash things and change minds. Remember how people felt about gay marriage and pot in the 90s?

Were those minds changed or just silenced as the silent majority spoke up? I know people who are still anti both, but are not vocal about it.
Also, I feel that you can't compare those things to this one. It's a much, much different situation.

We squashed (German) Nazis? Maybe. I dunno. Kill em all.
It's not me, it's someone else.

No, we didn't.
Not only are there Nazis here, but Nazis are still a thing in Germany...and rising in power thanks to Europe's immigration shit show.
This is the only way to be sure about anything.

Right, but they used to be most of Germany.
And whatever Japan was. And Italy.
That has been our strategy for the past 250 years

Usually against non-Americans, though.

But they're making a comeback.
Italy was just socialists. Japan was...imperialism?
Not true. Yes, we have killed for freedom, but not "all", and that's where you run into issues.

When we're allowed to cancel/ruin/kill people for thinking thoughts I don't like, all the people who have the land around now, that I want, are gong to suddenly find themselves accused of being very racist.
Then I can snatch up that sweet land for cheap.

University of Cincinnati removing Marge Schott's name from everything.
Now a whole bunch of people who didn't even know who she was won't be offended by her name.
I wonder if this will prevent some rich folks from rethinking donations to public institutions?

Fewer than 1 in 3 of 346 hate crimes were genuine.
The rest were hoaxes or mistakes.
It's almost like an entire group of people in this country have been raised to think people are out to get them, and thus, they are paranoid.
And a subset of that group knows that they can immediately get fame, and potentially some fortune, by pretending that boogeyman came for them.
