The Insane "Social Justice" Thread II

[Kutnupe14]

From The Expanded Criminal Code for Non-Legal Professional:

Reggie Fields, a 12 year-old Ohioan, proudly operates Mr. Reggie’s Lawn Cutting Service. Together with some of his relatives, Fields mows lawns around his Maple Heights neighborhood, a suburb of Cleveland. But his team’s usual routine of cutting four to five lawns a day was disturbed last week when police showed up after Fields accidentally mowed a small part of a neighbor’s yard.

Yesterday, I took a crap that scared me more than that

Credit where credit is due, the one guy cares about his hearing.

Add six more to the list people people with limited self-awareness.

We can't underestimate their intelligence, though. It's possible they realize they look like the dorks that they are, but are trying to lull their perceived enemies into a false sense of security. Well, at least what they think is a false sense of security.

Probably similar looking tho.

Insuspect it may be satire. A lot of people satirize Antifa vecause you can really push the boundaries of crazy and people still can’t tell if it’s for realz or is it satire.

That's a good point and we need ongoing reminders. The truth and the parody of antifa are often indistinguishable. I almost feel sorry for them because they are so . . . pathetic. I lose that sympathy when they hurt people either in meat space or at the ballot box, though.

Give 'em credit. At least this time they thought to take the orange tips off the barrels and have the magazines in the right direction.

I honestly don't see any difference between them, and the idiot people who dress up, say similar things, but just happen to be on the other side.

Dammit I hate my iPhone’s “keyboard”.

That article is an exemplar of stupid, whether it's satire or not.

Yeah, that is stupid. Slavery probably would've lasted as long or longer, if the British kept the colonies.

Is the woman on the left the one that was holding the cigarette in the video where the guy with the bat got knocked out?

Some resemblance, but she is definitely trying too hard in this picture (which, as others have pointed out, may be satire). Green gloves in the middle looks like the type that would claim PTSD if he actually fired the rifle.

Well. I’m going to back off a bit on the first point. The British Empire abolished slave ownership in 1833, 37 years sooner than the US. I did not think that applied to the whole empire, but it did, except for a few soecial cases. It’s still not evident that colonial America would have ended slavery sooner, had the revolution never happened. The opposition from the Southern aristocracy would have been just as fierce with Britain as it was with the US North, and there’s no certainty that Britain wouldn’t have compromised with the Southern colonies for many more decades like the North did. The British aristocracy was on the side of the Southern states in the Civil War. There’s no reason to think they wouldn’t have been sympathetic allies when Parlement was considering the act which ended slavery in the empire. It’s possible that slavery in the Southern colonies could have lasted decades longer.

Cotton... Britain LOVED cheap Southern Cotton (and tobacco). Those alone would have been enough for the British to keep the institution going. They may have abolished in Britain and the Isles proper, but I doubt they would have in their colonies, at least the ones that provide such a HUGE amount of materials.

I mean, it is "The Root"...

By that standard, shouldn't they find Trump very useful indeed?

No. I thought that too. But the act in 1833 applied to all the empire except territories owned by West Indies Company. I think if the revolution never happened it’s likely that an exception would have been added for the southern colonies too. Who knows when slavery would have ended.

 

[BugI02]

That's hilarious on so many levels, not the least because they can "bravely" unmask due to the unstinting defense of RKBA by their "enemies"

If they ever achieved their little progressive/socialist utopia, they'd be among the first to be disarmed and sent to re-education camps
