“When Hitler and Mussolini rose to power, antifascists organized to resist them. Now that populist demagoguery is surging and Trump is president, antifa is active around the world and recently opposed white supremacists in Charlottesville. Bray’s primer recaps the history of this vital movement, taking it from the 1920s to today. A historian of human rights, terrorism, and political radicalism in Modern Europe as well as one of the organizers of Occupy Wall Street, Bray has talked to antifascists in several different countries. He outlines the philosophy and tactics of groups including the Black Bloc, who believe that they are justified in using nearly any means to stop the alt-right message before it destroys democracy itself. Politics & Prose.”

From Politics & Prose

If you’re going to label yourself anti-fascists, then at the very least that means you’re implying that you’re not fascists. That you don’t believe in fascism and that you believe in free speech and freedom of thought. That people who disagree with you and even have beliefs that may offend you, have the same right to believe what they believe and say what they want, as people you respect and agree with. People that you consider to be political allies. And that you’re not going to try shut up speech and speakers, simply because you disagree with them, or are even offended by them.

If ANTIFA really were ant-fascists and opposed not just Nationalists, but Christian-Nationalists, Christian-Theocrats, Neo-Nazis, all on the Far-Right, but Communists and other Socialists on the Far-Left, who don’t believe people who they disagree with and are offended by have the same right to speak and believe that they do, but believed these political factions have the same right to free speech as people that agree with them meaning ANTIFA, then I could probably respect them.

As a Liberal I love free speech and probably would even consider myself to be a free speech fundamentalist. But not just for people who share my liberal democratic values. But for people who are way to left of me like Communists who are part of ANTIFA and people who are to the right me. Conservative-Libertarians on the Center-Right and Christian-Nationalists and Neo-Nazis on the Far-Right.

But that is not what ANTIFA is about. They call themselves anti-fascists even though they believe in fascism and to use fascism to shut up Far-Right speakers and political activists, that they don’t like, disagree with, and are even offended by.

ANTIFA are hypocrites at best. They are like so-called Conservatives who claim to hate big government, but are only talking about big government as it relates to taxes, spending, centralization, that has to do with the economy. But leave out that they actually want big government in people’s personal lives. And tell people what they can and can’t do in their homes and want consensual activities between adults should be legal or not.

ANTIFA believes in using fascism to shut down and eliminate what they call fascism. So a more accurate name for this group would be ANTIFA-INO: Anti-Fascists In Name Only, because that is what they are.

The American Spectator: Jeffrey Lord- My Real Time With Bill Maher

Posted on November 9, 2017 by Rik Schneider

Source:The Daily Review

I don’t know what Donald Trump is paying Jeffrey Lord and even if he was paying Lord, he actually wouldn’t be paying him and instead of raise the money from other people and use that to pay Lord or just ask one of bis friends to pay Lord, but whatever President Trump might be paying Mr. Lord is simply not enough. Lord who has go more than way out of his way to defend Trump. Going out of his way to defend Trump is a huge understatement. It would be like saying America had a civil war because the South didn’t want a bearded President. Not just false but doesn’t make any sense.

Jeff Lord has risked his personal and perhaps professional reputation to defend a man who has made a career of screwing people for his own benefit. Who apparently can’t be left alone with women who don’t him well because of what he might do to them. A man in Donald Trump who pre-2010 was a Democrat and a Liberal Democrat at that. A man who is a proud New Yorker and didn’t consider himself very religious at all until he became the leader of the Birther Nationalist Tea Party movement in 2011, is now the darling of the Tea Party Nationalists in America.

Tea Party Nationalists can’t believe anything that is negative that is reported about their cult leader (Donald Trump) even if its reported by the conservative Wall Street Journal or even propaganda agency of the Trump Administration. (Better known as Fox News) Who can’t believe Barack Obama is not only an American citizen, but actually born in America, even though he has a Hawaii birth certificate. 9/’11 was an inside job, the Russian investigation is a hoax even though every single U.S. national security and intelligence agency believes that Russia interfered into our elections in 2016. Including every single national security and intelligence official that President Trump appointed himself.

In other words, the Trump movement or Tea Party Nationalists, (as I prefer to call them) or how about the Trumpian Cult or the Cult of Trump, can’t believe or won’t acknowledge (at leas in public) facts that are right front of their own eyes or ears, if it is negative about Donald Trump. And this is the man that Jeff Lord who once worked in the Reagan White House as a speechwriter and pre-2016 or so had a great reputation as an intelligent, honest, very friendly man and part of the Center-Right in the Republican Party, now represents and speaks for. Who worked for CNN as a political analyst even though several CNN anchors had a hard time with him because they weren’t sure if Lord actually believed what he was saying with some of his defenses for Donald Trump.

Jeff Lord has gone from being a Bill Buckley or Bill Kristol of right-wing political analysts. Someone who is respected on both sides and by most people in the country who follow politics and current affairs, because they’re honest, intelligent, make their arguments based on this old fashion word called facts. And don’t defend people just because they’re on their side of the isle, to being an Alex Jones/Pat Robertson type conspiracy theorist. Who blame 9/11 on homosexuality, or blame lesbianism for feminism. “Russia didn’t interfere into our elections! It was China because they wanted radical feminist Hillary Clinton to be President. Or it was an inside job inside the Democratic Party.”

And my only question is for what. Why would an intelligent man risk his reputation as a serious political analyst to do that. He doesn’t even work for Donald Trump officially and has been part of the Trump Organization in any capacity.

Sargon of Akkad: ‘Communists at Berkeley Lose the Argument’

“Yvette Felarca and a gaggle of communist cultists from BAMN vs me.”

From Sargon of Akkad

The main woman in this video said that according to her, the free speech movement at Berkeley from the 1960s, which really was a free speech movement and something that Berkeley has moved away from, this woman said that was the real free speech movement, because of what they were speaking against. Which is what’s called white supremacy and the authoritarian establishment back then at Berkeley that tried to censor cultural and speech movements that they disagreed with.

In other words: if its speech that she agrees with, then it’s free speech. But if she or any leftist disagrees with the free speech, then its fascism, according to her and therefor it doesn’t deserved to be heard. Speakers that the Far-Left in America disagree with, should be silenced and those people should not be be allowed to exist and should be forcefully removed if necessary. According to the woman in this video.

ANTIFA if they really were an anti-fascist movement, then I could probably respect them. But they’re instead a hypocritical contradiction of a movement. They claim to be against fascism on the one hand, while on the other hand they try to shut up and stop speech that they simply disagree with and are even offended by it. Which is basically the definition of fascism: preventing speakers that you disagree with from speaking and trying to physically stop if necessary speakers that you don’t like and disagree with from speaking.

ANTIFA are not anti-fascists, but Neo-Communists if not just pure Communists, who want to destroy the American system and form of government and replace it with a socialist state by any means necessary, as the woman in the video proudly stated.

The Rubin Report: David Rubin Interviewing Laura Kipnis: ‘Feminism Has Been Hijacked by Melodrama’

Posted on November 7, 2017 by Derik Schneider

Attachment-1-1284

Source:The Rubin Report– Radical Feminist Laura Kipnis.

Source:The Daily Review

“Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to Laura Kipnis (author and professor) about her personal fight with Title IX, why she identifies as a “Leftist Feminist,” her take on modern day feminism, the effect of social media on the rape culture debate, sexual victimization on campus, and more.”

From The Rubin Report

At risk of sounding flip here (which I risk almost all the time) I don’t consider myself a Feminist, because I’m a man. I don’t believe you have to be a Feminist to believe that men and women should be treated equally under law and in the private sector and not be punished or rewarded simply because of their gender. I don’t believe you have to be a Feminist to believe in equal rights or equal opportunity. Being a Liberal or just a good intelligent person, is all you have to be to believe in equal opportunity. I’m a Liberal, I believe in liberty and equal rights for all. Men and women, of all racial and ethnic backgrounds. So feminism and equal opportunity to me, aren’t controversial, but commonsense.

Feminism is not controversial, but what’s called radical feminism or what I prefer to call feminine supremacy, this idea that women are simply better than men and therefor women shouldn’t be treated worst or equal than men, but better than men and if you don’t believe in this you’re a women-hating Fascist, this philosophy on the Far-Left in America is obviously very controversial. This idea that men, (well, straight men) are over masculine animals simply looking to conquer women. And that masculinity in itself is a bad thing (unless you’re a man-hating dyke Lesbian, or just a Lesbian) and the reason for all the problems in America and in the world, are because of men and especially Caucasian men especially in America.

So-called radical feminists or what I call feminine supremacists, hate everything that is masculine. They see straight men and straight activities like football, (just to use as an example) as promoting violence in America especially against women. What feminine supremacists don’t seem to understand (and this is just one example) is that maybe 1/2 American football fans are women. You watch an NFL or college football game on TV or go to one and just about every other fan there and some games are women. So I guess a lot of women in America and probably most of them believe in feminism, (not including Ann Coulter) again that men and women should be treated equally, but most American women missed the last train on feminine supremacy and don’t view men and masculinity in general, as some dangerous narcotic that must be wiped out in order to save society.

I know this is a Hollywood movie and everything, but if you are familiar with the 1970 social satire comedy Myra Breckinridge, Raquel Welch plays Myra a former queen Gay man who becomes a woman and not just a women, but what would be called today a radical feminist or what I call a feminine supremacist that saw her job as eliminating everything that is straight and masculine about men. Other than maybe the physical romantic relationships between straight men and women. Myra Breckinridge bombed as badly as a heavy metal concert in Harlem, or a country music festival in Compton, (not that it was a bad movie) but that movie perhaps has served for the 3-5 feminist supremacists who saw the movie as an inspiration for their feminist-supremacist movement in America.

Laura Kinpis described her politics as back in the day at least as a Marxist-Feminist. Well, that makes sense if you look at what’s called radical feminism and what I call feminine-supremacy today. You’re either totally in agreement with them, or you’re part of the enemy and deserved to be destroyed. And have someone on Twitter who stalks you and has a nasty reply to everything that you tweet. Maybe if someone of these female-supremacists got a job and went to work, they would have less time for Twitter and our unemployment rate would go down even further.

Apparently Laura Kinpis has moderated from Marxist to just being a mainstream Socialist-Feminist, who believes in equality and complete redistribution, but not supremacy. Which goes to show you that there’s hope for all radicals in America. If they just cut back on their caffeine intake, try to find hobbies outside of social media and looking at every radical article that is published and do this old fashion thing of thinking for yourself and looking at the world for how it really is and what people really believe. Instead of what the latest hot political celebrity is telling them as some type of God and viewing every word that person says as the golden truth who can never be wrong about anything.

The New Republic: Clint Smith: Affirmative Action As Reparations

Posted on November 6, 2017 by Erik Schneider

Source:The New Democrat

The main reason why I oppose affirmative action at least in the sense of reward any American or Americans based on race, ethnicity, or gender, is because I have this old and I guess what young Millennial’s who love socialism and would find corny Martin Luther King notion of judging people by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin. If you want a race, ethnicity, and gender blind society, then that has to start at the top and with government.

You can’t have government preach about the dangers of racism and other bigotry when on the other hand its subsidizing racism and bigotry. Denying people access in America simply because of their race, ethnicity, or gender, is bigotry. Even if you’re doing it to help people that you believe are disadvantage perhaps even to the point that they’re not good enough to make it on their own.

Which is what affirmative action is basically saying to African and Latin-Americans. That we meaning Uncle Sam, believe that you (African and Latin-Americans) not good enough to compete with European and Asian-Americans, so as a result we’re going to give you an extra head start and allow for you to go to college and get other jobs at the expense of European and Asian-Americans in the name of diversity. And at the same time tell European and Asian-Americans that their too many of them here right now. They’re too successful and because of that they’re not welcome to work here or go to school here.

What proponents of affirmative action don’t seem to understand is that affirmative action is not bigoted towards just European-Americans, but everyone else. Asian, African, and Latin-Americans. Affirmative action tells European-Americans that there too many of them here and that since their families have benefited from racism against African-Americans in the past including slavery, government is now going to punish Europeans for the evils of their ancestors.

Asian-Americans lose access to college because Asians do very well in America when it comes education and everything else and as a result a lot of them are qualified to go to college and get good jobs. Except for one qualification which is that they happen to be from the wrong race. And as a result too many of them according to big government go to this school or that one and as a result that school is telling them that they can’t take any more Asians at this point.

Affirmative action tells African and Latin-Americans that they’re not good enough to compete with their European and Asian counterparts on their own. That they don’t come from the right families and aren’t raised properly, didn’t go to the right schools, and as a result need help from big government to compete against everyone else in America, because they’re not good enough on their own.

You want a race, ethnic, gender, and color-blind society in America and I’m only talking about how people are judged and not what we see out of our own eyes, but just how we treat each other and not reward or punish people because of their ancestry, then you only accomplish that by not having policies that reward or punish based on ancestry. No to affirmative action and yes to strong civil rights laws and enforcement.

Punish people economically to the point that it would hurt employers and schools and other organizations when they deny or punish people simply because of their ancestry and be a strong incentive not to reward or punish people base on ethnicity.

And yes to a modern infrastructure and economic development system so every community in America regardless of race and ethnicity can succeed in America. As well as an education system where every American can go to the best school for them and have a real shot at succeeding in America even if they come from low-income parents and not be forced to go to school simply because of where they live.

What makes America exceptional is not our vast economic resources or our military firepower, even those things are great benefits to our country and we don’t ever have to worry about another country attacking us and have to take foreign aide from other countries just to survive economically. But what makes us exceptional is our diversity at all levels and all kinds and our individualism. That we’re this vast and diverse superpower and giant of a country that represents the whole world in the sense that everyone lives here.

No majority ethnicity and by the 2050 no majority race as well. And we’re this country where regardless of your ancestry and how you start out in life you can literally make it in America. You don’t see Americans escaping or even trying to escape America to live in another country where they believe they can get a better opportunity at life. We’re all equal as Americans and are no better or worst than anyone else simply because of our ancestry.

Which means we can all succeed if just given the opportunity. Getting a good opportunity meaning education early in life and then taking advantage of that. Not because they needed big government to reward them simply because big government believes they have the right complexion or eye shape, hair, of whatever physical features that we inherit from our parents. African and Latin-Americans, don’t need big government’s help and reward them simply because of their race and ethnicity to succeed in America.

African and Latin-Americans, can accomplish these things on their own if they simply are able to go to good schools growing up and have parents who do everything they can to raise them properly so they can succeed. Because African and Latin-Americans, are just as good as everyone else in America and don’t need special treatment and protection from big government.

Teddy Roosevelt: Make The Best of Things in Life

Posted on November 4, 2017 by FredSchneiderUS
Attachment-1-1266

Source: The Quotes

Source:The New Democrat

I’m not a big fan at least of the Tremors genre, series of Tremors movies from the 1990s with people like Kevin Bacon, Michael Gross, Fred Ward, and others. But the Tremors Aftershocks movie from 1996 is a very funny movie. Mostly because of Mike Gross, Fred Ward, Chris Gartlin who plays Fred Ward’s partner.

And Mike Gross has this line in the movie where he’s just nailed a bunch of these creatures that were trying to catch these people in the capital of nowhere in Mexico, with one of his big weapons and he destroys several of them with his big rocket launcher or whatever it was. And his partners come up and congratulate him on that and are very excited. With the Gross character simply just saying, “doing what I can, with what I got.” Now, I don’t know if this guy is a big fan of Teddy Roosevelt or not, but that is what TR is saying with this quote.

I believe there are three kinds of people in life and these three character types have other aspects about them as well, but we all fit into one of these three categories.

The doer, the bum, and the bitch. And I don’t mean bitch in the sense of female dog, but someone who is always complaining and seems to be happier when they have something to complain about instead of something positive that is positive about them.

The doer is Teddy Roosevelt. This is the situation, this is what can be done about it and this is what needs to be done about it. And then makes the best with it with what they have to work with.

The bum, is always stuck in neutral, perhaps too afraid to take any risks and as a result doesn’t move forward or backwards, because they never take any risks and make any investments with their time, energy, and other resources that they may have. The bum is sort of the opposite of a Progressive like TR, or a Regressive. The bum doesn’t progress or even conserves, they just stay where they are. At least Conservatives like Barry Goldwater and Robert Taft, conserve and protect what they cherish and value. The bum doesn’t even do that, because they believe if they try to protect and conserve what they have, that will require effort and risk and might lose everything as a result.

The bitch is always in a bad mood. On a July Fourth parade, they’ll spot the only cloud in the sky on a hot 90-95 degree day and that cloud will turn into a hurricane of rain. Their team wins the Super Bowl and they’ll complain about the six penalties and two turnovers that their team committed and just focus on that. And actually get no satisfaction from actually winning the Super Bowl. Imagine having a bitch as a Boston Red Sox fan in 2004 when they Red Sox won their first World Series since 1918. Instead of focusing on the fact that the Red Sox just won their first World Series since 1918, when Teddy Roosevelt still had some political power, the bitch wonders why the Red Sox were down 3-0 to the New York Yankees in the ALCS and just focuses on that instead. How would you like to have a bitch as your campaign manager on Election Night and you’r supposed to be ahead by 10 points in the polls.

Life is exactly that and when you over promise or think things are better than they are, you only set yourself up for big disappointments. Because you stop doing your homework and the work that you did that got you to the point where you are. And on the other side if you always believe things are worst than they are, they always will be at least to you. And you won’t do the work and put in the effort to make things as good as possible for yourself and the people you care about, because you’ll believe what’s the point. Life sucks in your ant size mind. And the person stuck in neural will only go as far in life as car stuck in neutral or that is out of gas. Because they won’t make any real investments and take risks. That old saying you only get out of life what you put into it.

But the doer is a realist and always has the best available information around them and knows what to do with it which is why they’re successful. The doer knows how much money they have and exactly what they can get out of that money, because they know what they need and who much everything costs and spends their money based on those factors. But also knows how to advance their wealth both financially and personally, because again they always have the best available information and made themselves into the best person that they can be. They’re doers, they’re Progressives, they progress and move forward in life.

Life is not fair or unfair, generally and even if people have screwed you, you always have the opportunity and ability to recover from that and even move forward. But only if you progress and make the best out of your situation in life and the best out of yourself. Instead of waiting for positive things to happen to you, or not having the balls frankly to take any risks in life. Life is about risk versus reward and calculating those things together to see where you can go. Not sitting around and waiting for things to happen. Or living in a cloud because you think life is too tough.

A&E: Naomi Ekperigin- Infamous Killers: David Berkowitz- The Son of Sam

Posted on November 3, 2017 by kireschneider
Attachment-1-1258

Source: BIO– Serial murderer David Berkowitz 

Source:The Daily Review

“Discover the story of David Berkowitz’s adoption, “Son of Sam” crime spree, and come-to-Jesus moment.

David Berkowitz, known as Son of Sam, murdered six people in New York City from 1976 to 1977, claiming he received orders from a demon-possessed dog. He is one of the most notorious serial killers in America. Learn more:Biography.”

From A&E

I doubt I’m the only person who has done this but for the last 10-20 years or so but I’ve been wondering why a somewhat normal seeming man like David Berkowitz would decide to go out and simply murder people in New York City or anywhere else. Not to look for justification for those murders and of course there are no justifiable murders. Murder by definition- the intentional taking of innocent human life by definition is a crime. The worst crime you could commit against anyone. Calling a murder justifiable would be like calling a cheeseburger a hot dog, a slice of pizza a peanut butter sandwich. Its simply not believable on its face.

But I’ve been wanting to know why would a somewhat innocent looking and normal intelligent man who had a good job and was able to support himself even if he was somewhat lonely and isolated, why would this person go out and decide to murder as many 10-20 innocent people and perhaps more. What would drive a normal productive man to go out and murder all of those innocent people for no apparent reason and why after being found sane and able to stand trial for his murders how would a serial murderer like David Berkowitz (the self-proclaim Son of Sam) avoid the death penalty. The death penalty is for people who murder multiple people and get some pleasure from that.

Again, this doesn’t justify what David Berkowitz did and I’ not anti-military or even anti-war, but David Berkowitz joined the U.S. Army right after high school in the early 1970s and discovered early on that he was very good with guns. He wasn’t even in the Vietnam War but instead was sent to South Korea to join the forces there that was protecting the South from Communist North Korea. I believe Berkowitz discovered that he was good with guns and good at shooting people and perhaps even discovered that he enjoyed doing it. He gets an honorable discharge from the U.S. Army in 1974 and comes back to New York City where he grew up in the 1950s and 1960s and discovers that he’s alone and doesn’t fit in where he grew up.

What the Son of Sam means to me and I’m obviously not David Berkowitz’s biographer, is that he saw himself as the Son of Uncle Sam. This mythical character that is supposed to represent the U.S. Government and generally what most people believe and I’m one of them, represents what big government looks like in America. Americans who hate high taxes and over centralization of government, the War on Drugs, invasion of privacy, to use as examples. Not to say that Berkowitz hates big government, but I believe he saw it as his duty and was trained to murder people on the behalf of Uncle Sam as what he called himself The Son of Sam. Which is my little theory of why David Berkowitz did what he did.

NBC News: Evan McMullin: Donald Trump’s Rise Proves How Dangerous Populism is For Democracy

Posted on November 2, 2017 by Rik Schneider
Attachment-1-1249

Source: NBC News

Source:NBC News

If I look at Donald Trump’s rise to power completely honestly and objectively and not as a partisan Democratic hack, which I’m not anyway, but if I look at his rise as simply as an objective political analyst, I don’t see him personally as a threat to democracy, even liberal democracy. So that would be one area where I believe I disagree with Evan McMullin. (2016 Conservative Independent presidential candidate and founder of Standup Republic)

Now, if I were to look at his Trump’s rise as a partisan Democratic hack I might be saying things like, “Donald Trump’s rise is a threat to everything we hold dear as Americans. Civil rights laws, checks and balances, equal rights, equal opportunity, social safety net, etc,!” But thats not my job as someone who is only registered as a Democrat, but doesn’t officially work for the Democratic Party and doesn’t have to go on cable TV news and everyday and night saying things I simply don’t believe, or leaving out important facts, simply to help Democrats and hurt Republicans. Something that is way too common on cable news today from the big three cable news networks from both Democratic and Republican political analysts.

I don’t even see Donald Trump’s movement as a threat to liberal democracy which is more important to me than just democracy. Even though the National-Right in America which is essentially the blue-collar Christian-Right wing of the Tea Party from 2011-12, have very illiberal and fascists tendencies and don’t believe people who disagree with them have the same constitutional rights as they do. Who believe the Trump Administration should be regulating news organizations that write and produce critical pieces and stories about Donald Trump and his allies. Don’t get me wrong, these people are scary and should be opposed at every opportunity.

But again, where I separate from the Even McMullin’s of the world is how much power the Nationalist-Right actually has in America. As we’re seeing with even a Republican Congress and a Trump appointed Justice Department, is how our form of government that was created by our Founding Fathers (our Founding Liberals) is supposed to work.

Probably even a majority of Congressional Republicans both in the House and Senate, especially in the Senate, believe the Russia story is a big deal. Which is why there are now three Congressional committee investigations into it which includes the 2016 Trump Campaign. House Intelligence, Senate Intelligence, and Senate Judiciary, looking at any possible involvement that they may have had wth Russia and the Putin Administration last year. As well as a Deputy Attorney (Rod Rosenstein) appointed by President Trump, overseeing a Justice Department investigation into Russia and 2016. The Deputy Attorney General appointing a special counsel (Robert Mueller) to conduct an independent investigation.

Our system is destined so even if you have a populist with nationalistic and even authoritarian learnings, come into power in the White House who believes the job of his Administration is simply to serve and protect him, that there’s a system in place simply designed to serve the people. Even if that means looking into things and people that could hurt the President and his Administration. Our Federal Government which includes not just the Administration, but Congress and the judiciary, are functioning the way they’re supposed to which is why someone even like Donald Trump, can’t become a dictator because he has to many layers of checks and people to say no to him and that you can’t do this or that, to prevent him from becoming a dictator.

Again, I’m not a fan of the Nationalist-Right and I’m offended as an American every time that our President tries to appease them and try to keep them with him, because he actually believes he needs their political support to stay in power. Something that President George W. Bush, his father and President Reagan, would have never even had considered .

Whether its the Steve Bannon folks who probably aren’t racists and ethno-Nationalists, but just ideological Nationalists, or the Neo-Nazis who are racial and ethno-Nationalists. But even if these people command as much as 30% of the Republican Party base, you’re only talking about 20-25 of the American electorate and that includes the racist terrorists, as well as the blue-collar Nationalists who aren’t racists, but believe their form of America is disappearing which is why they don’t like immigration. And even if these people do come to power in America we again have this beautifully designed system of checks and balances that prevents them from turning America into some type of authoritarian fascist state.

Sargon of Akkad: Why Do People Hate Feminism? Feminist Fundamentalists

Posted on November 1, 2017 by Ederik Schneider

Source:The Daily Review

According to Merriam-Webster’s definition of feminism. Feminism is the belief that women and men should have equal rights and opportunities. To put that even simpler feminism is the belief that women should be treated equally as men and not be punished or rewarded simply because of their gender.

Thats not controversial, because probably 7-8 out ten or more Americans believe that men and women should be treated equally under law and not be punished or rewarded simply because of their gender. You polled Republicans (not including the Christian-Right) and you would get a substantial majority of Americans who believe men and women should be treated equally.

Its radical or fundamentalist feminists, as Sargon of Akkad calls them or even fascist feminist who believe you’re either with them and that means 100% of the time, or you’re against them. You either believe that men (especially Caucasian men) are ignorant bigots and sexist pigs who struggle to tie their own shoes, or you’re part of the problem. You either believe women are superior to men and should have most if not all the power in the country, or you’re a sexist pig (even if your’e a women) who hate women of all races and ethnicities.

If today’s campus radicals who seem to have more faith and support for Communists like Che Guevara and other Communists from the past, don’t believe in the liberal value of free speech, maybe they should support free speech for this reason. If right-wingers from everyone from Conservative-Libertarians from CATO Institute and the American Enterprise Institute on the Center-Right, to right-wing Nationalists who support Donald Trump, to Ann Coulter and Neo-Nazis on the Far-Right, can be shut down simply because they’re right-wing radicals who offend young people and minorities, then the Far-Left will be next when the Right has the power to shut people up simply because they disagree with people who disagree with them and see them as Un-American.

What ANTIFA and other Far-Left radicals Socialists and even Communists, don’t seem to understand is that political correctness is about as illiberal a movement that we have in America and it goes both ways. Political correctness is not simply designed for protecting minorities from having to hear anything negative about them. Its designed to protect anyone who believes they’ve been offended and has enough political support to start a movement or be part of a broader movement. From young Americans who feel they need to protect minorities from right-wingers. To Christian-Nationalists who believe they need to use political correctness and censor certain forms of entertainment and speech that they believe goes against their Christian values.

The U.S. Congress both the House and Senate, operate on precedent. When the majority party in one chamber or the other tries to put in new rules to benefit them and weaken the minority party, those same tactics end up being used against them when the other party comes back into power. We saw this in the Senate in 2013 when Senate Democrats tried to eliminate filibusters that Senate Republicans were using against Obama Administration appointments. So Leader Harry Reid and Senate Democrats, ended filibusters on executive appointments except for Supreme Court nominees. And now that Republicans are back in power there are now no filibusters for Supreme Court appointments because Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans have eliminated them. American politics outside of Congress works the same way.

Speech that I may approve and like, might be speech that offends someone else. That person might believe speech that I believe is offensive. If I try to shut them up, they’ll counter that and try to shut me up. If I’m successful in shutting them up simply because I disagree with what they have to say, they might not be able to shut me up immediately, but someone else will be later on and then be able to point back and say I used censorship against someone else. We all know what everyone else believes or at least has said thanks to the internet and social media. The only way a vast diverse liberal democracy (and not communist state) like America can survive is to allow everyone especially since we have a First Amendment and constitutional right to free speech, to have their say and let them speak and believe as they choose. Short of inciting violence and falsely accusing people. Otherwise we’ll always be fighting each other and eventually break up.

To paraphrase President Andrew Shepard from The American President. (played by Michael Douglas) America is hard, you really have to want it to be part of if. To live in a society where you can express yourself as you feel, but to know that someone else and others will do the exactly the same thing and even believe in and say things that you hate. But to know for America to work you’ll fight for and believe in your free speech rights and speech and speakers that you love and cherish, as much as for speech and speakers that you might quite frankly hate.

And then when everyone has their say we all have our free speech rights to not only express what we believe and how we feel, but speak about how we feel about what others have said and make the case for why they’re wrong. But not to shut them up simply because we disagree with them and even find them hateful. Liberal democracy and free speech, are for everyone. Not just the people that we approve of and agree with.
