what the fuck is wrong with america

If you have something so weird, strange or off-topic to post and think it doesn't belong in any other forum; you're probably right. Please put all your gormless, half-baked, inane, glaikit ideas in here. This might also be a place where we throw threads that appear elsewhere that don't belong ANYWHERE end up, instead of having to flush them. FORUM RULES STILL APPLY.

From day one, some of the media tried to connect this to "right-wing" groups, despite little to zero evidence. Boogaloo was an internet meme that got dropped rather quickly and may have picked up by-speculating here-undercover agents.

As for the first story:
Aryan Cowboy Brotherhood
Really expect anyone to believe that?

I imagine many of the anarchist sorts may have come from out of town but that would be a solidly left-wing. The Black looters was probably much local and organic in nature.

(This is not a go at you personally, just a healthy dose of skepticism.)

Keep believing in "feels before reals", I don't really care, but I am curious where you get your "information" from if it isn't from the media. (This is not a go at you personally, just a healthy dose of skepticism.)

The Electric Boogaloo meme has come to life, just like incels and all the rest that started out as a stupid childish joke and crossed over. I spend a lot of time on those forums and some of them are completely out to fucking lunch.

Anyways, here's a fairly detailed article from The Atlantic:

agree. totally. 100%. it's beyond belief. top of my head: the circulated money itself is actually looking third-world. worse. taped, limp. torn. bleached. even from atms at times! then there's all the mental americans walking around. another chunk is always pissed off, ready to throw over peanut skins. then the red tape on everything. aiy.
Read 2-3 times. No idea. Fascinating.

Here ya go:

Hatewatch has found that far-right extremists’ on-the-ground involvement in these protests has been both fragmented and limited.


Also, most of the Alt Right accounts on Twitter told their guys to stay away from the "protests".

They believe any insane conspiracy they hear, and while claiming to be free thinkers all seem to believe in exactly the same stuff.
Part of the appeal of so-called conspiracy theories is that they may comforting to some people. When things get really crazy, it soothes us to think that somebody, anybody (Illuminati, lizard people, etc) are orchestrating things. The other option-that no one is in control-is too freaky to consider.
Sorry, but someone would need to be willfully blind to reality not to see that America is being destroyed from within by the Globalists. BKM has nothing to do with protecting Blacks, the #1 killer of decent Blacks are Black criminals. BLM will cause the death of decent innocent people of color and not at the hands of the police.

a very good read;

The Unraveling of America
Image

Never in our lives have we experienced such a global phenomenon. For the first time in the history of the world, all of humanity, informed by the unprecedented reach of digital technology, has come together, focused on the same existential threat, consumed by the same fears and uncertainties, eagerly anticipating the same, as yet unrealized, promises of medical science.

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/p ... MaptplaKys
The end of the American era and the passing of the torch to Asia is no occasion for celebration, no time to gloat. In a moment of international peril, when humanity might well have entered a dark age beyond all conceivable horrors, the industrial might of the United States, together with the blood of ordinary Russian soldiers, literally saved the world. American ideals, as celebrated by Madison and Monroe, Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Kennedy, at one time inspired and gave hope to millions.

If and when the Chinese are ascendant, with their concentration camps for the Uighurs, the ruthless reach of their military, their 200 million surveillance cameras watching every move and gesture of their people, we will surely long for the best years of the American century. For the moment, we have only the kleptocracy of Donald Trump. Between praising the Chinese for their treatment of the Uighurs, describing their internment and torture as “exactly the right thing to do,” and his dispensing of medical advice concerning the therapeutic use of chemical disinfectants, Trump blithely remarked, “One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.” He had in mind, of course, the coronavirus, but, as others have said, he might just as well have been referring to the American dream.

What a bunch of ignorant nationalist trash.

"Hitler’s concept of concentration camps as well as the practicality of genocide owed much, so he claimed, to his studies of English and United States history," Toland wrote in his book, Adolf Hitler: The Definitive Biography. "He admired the camps for Boer prisoners in South Africa and for the Indians in the wild west; and often praised to his inner circle the efficiency of America’s extermination—by starvation and uneven combat—of the red savages who could not be tamed by captivity."

Hitler Said to Have Been Inspired by US Indian Reservation System

"Concentration camps were not invented in Germany," Hitler said in 1941. "It is the English who are their inventors, using this institution to gradually break the backs of other nations." The British had operated camps in South Africa, the Nazis pointed out. Party propagandists similarly highlighted the sufferings of Native Americans...

The Nazis were not wrong to cite American precedents. Enslavement of African-Americans was written into the U.S. Constitution. Thomas Jefferson spoke of the need to “eliminate” or “extirpate” Native Americans. In 1856, an Oregonian settler wrote, “Extermination, however unchristianlike it may appear, seems to be the only resort left for the protection of life and property.” General Philip Sheridan spoke of “annihilation, obliteration, and complete destruction.”

I disagree. That’s like saying the Chinese perfected spaghetti and firearms.

Hitler created the modern concentration camp, as well as the Final Solution, using the best of German science to efficiently murder people and subject them to human experimentation.

He also deliberately fooled the world as to it’s true purpose, only discovered at the end of the war.

But, please, continue your diatribe against everything western.
