Then you don't know history and should probably stop talking. When the ruling class get scared, that's when massive, systemic change happens - everyti...

There's no irony friend. You're just uneducated on the distinction between liberals and leftists. The article is helpful in providing some concrete ti...

Again, not my country. And if you need to wait for someone to declare 'civil war' then you've already lost. You don't wait for a holocaust before deci...

The question is why you are so terrified over what 'the right' thinks. That 'the right' is a regressive force which stands for nothing but sucking the...

Oh look, another person to no longer take seriously. Ah well.
June 24, 2020 at 10:40
My 'motive' is that you literally have no idea what you are talking about. The attempt to frame systemic racism as a matter of belief is so ignorant a...

If you think burning a shitty piece of fabric is more important than the deaths of black people then you're well and truly fucked. Have you considered...

Some of the most haunting images that came out of the civil rights movement are those of of civil rights activists training for sit-ins. They expected...

The funny thing about the "it's unproductive" response is that it is so totally, utterly wrong, at every empirical level. Pieces of shit like NOS will...

It's a convenient feel-good myth that the US was 'different back then'. The most that has happened in that the forms of racial prejudice have been dis...

No that's the motherland, who taught us Aussies everything we know about subjugating an indigenous population.
