It must be nice to be so unaffected by white nationalist far right policies that the only thing that gets you off the fence is a milkshake and vote for the racists and bigots. Like that was the deciding factor, not all the Nazi/bigoted/white nationalist shit. A milkshake.
'let the far right walk all over you, and then walk some more. otherwise they might get violent.'
Not what I said is it mate.
So if im reading this right, youre advocating for more violent protest? This is what im talking about. What exactly do you suggest?
It happened before people were slinging milkshakes, are you seriously saying that people slinging milkshakes is going to make it more likely to happen in the future?
Yep, thats exactly what I'm saying. That was one right wing nutter with a knife, you wanna unite whole mobs of them flinging shit at each other? Someone will get injured or worse in a brawl from a milkshake incident soon, and then I hope all of you feel sorry for yourselves. Or maybe you think thats a good thing, in which case we just arnt gonna agree
it's exactly what you said. at what point does overt, physical resistance become justified, in your mind? because you've been shown examples of how far right rhetoric has killed, and continues to kill, vulnerable people, and yet you continue to argue that, should they keep doing exactly what they're already doing, it'll be the fault of folks throwing milkshakes. so, what, we continue to just do nothing, to let them spread their bile unimpeded? what the fuck are you proposing?
Yea, Austin had similar thoughts. Plus, the game explicitly engages with, amongst other things, how low-income, predominantly black communities in San Francisco are overpoliced, and how cops are encouraged to treat those areas as high risk zones, and 'go in shooting'. It deals with how cops can use the privilege afforded by their position to get away with terrorising communities, while facing no consequences themselves. It actually engages with systemic inequality and discrimination, in multiple different areas of society.
The far right has already escalated to violence: outright murder.
Ya, acting like this is the thing that could push the far right into violence. They’re already there.
Cold milk shaked in a special machine. I never really thought about it too hard before and I'm not very smart =p
I really think you need to think about the mentality of the people, what they stand for, and where the motivation for each of these attacks comes from, they aren't the same, they aren't related, and one isn't going to have a bearing on the likely hood of the other happening.
Ah. I guess that's the literal interpretation. There isn't a high enough fat content in milk to thicken it up by mixing, although you can get shakes that basically are just milk + a flavouring (like Nesquik).
I think its you who doesnt understand the implications. As I say, if/when someone gets really hurt I hope you diont see the same way. And if you do, then youre the kind of person who thinks violence solves problems. either way I think we're done here
People have ALREADY been hurt, and the entire premise of your argument is fundamentally flawed. You're unwilling to see that, so yes, we are done here.
"We can't protest against the extremists they might act extreme!"
Are you seruously sugesting that this 1 terrible incident justifies anything up to / or including the same?
Gay rights wasn't worth the property damage. Marsha P. Johnson should be ashamed of herself.
Are you seriously trying to suggest people who are OK with Milkshakes being thrown as a political act are also justifying murder like the right wing have done already?
It’s not just 1 incident. Whether it’s mowing down protestors with a car, mowing down people in a synagogue, the gangbeating of Antifa members caught on tape, etc.
They don't give a fuck what the left or everyone against their ideas can say. They can only intake agreement and flattery.
I dont think anyone was arguing that throwing a milkshake over someone wasnt technically violence so dont try that disingenuous bullshit.
Nah. The history of the left is covered in blood, both of our own and of our opposition's. Violence is one of many tools used for societal change, and like all tools, it has been used for good and evil. Most of the progress we've seen in history was done via violence, even the entire concept of the left was born from it. The idea that non-violence is leftist ideology is a myth, it never has nor should it ever be.
The act of throwing a milk shake at a politician is no worse than a tomato, shoe, or egg. It's been a thing for as long as politicians existed. Besides that, it's generally more harmless and more funny compare to what fascists will do if they get into power.
They have already fucking killed people.
Its a milkshake mate, people have been throwing eggs, flour and whatever else at politicians as a form of protest since at least the Roman times. Your slippery slope whataboutism isn't borne out by history. The far right is already violent and the people throwing milkshakes aren't. I don't go to to any extremes with this so don't reply to me about what other people are saying but it's not the milkshakes you should be getting upset about.
I told someone about the milkshake incident and he acted as if someone may as well have died.
The entire political end game for these people is hurting others and you're worried that getting milkshakes thrown away them is what's gonna make them go to far? Some of you need to pull your heads out of your ass.
Do you seriously not see the contradiction in your post?!?
Off topic: Save Ubisoft (well most of gaming pubs) lack the moral fortitude to depict that lest they piss off “gamers” and other sons of bitches alt right GG degenerates they and the industry has profited from at large and thereby perturbing their shareholders.
