Authoritarians are like that.<br /><br />Darrell has cut me out of the conversation at his blog, so I'd like to share his reaction to my response to his "NOT racist", diatribes, hate, demonization and false accusations for BLM.<br /><br />"I am dealing with a conundrum. I do not want to perpetuate the nonsense with which I used to deal with on my past blog, but I am loathe to squelch free speech too. Mr. Dubya wrote a comment that was the size of a Tolstoy novel and contained many of his un-supported assertions, misguided notions, and flat-out inaccuracies."<br /><br />Besides all that projection, did Darrell offer any evidence or facts to indicate what exactly was misguided or false in my response? <br /><br />No. How could he? I appealed to his humanity and presented facts that counter his extreme far Right indoctrination. As expected, it only drew more anger.<br /><br />As usual all he could do was throw out random quotes from a few people associated with BLM, as well as claims by a known bigot, that somehow proves Black lives DO NOT MATTER to BLM.<br /><br />How hateful must one be to promote such a blatantly false and vile condemnation?<br /><br />I've also shown a case where a peaceful Navy vet was brutally attacked by thugs in uniform, to contrast his one-sided view of the protesters. <br /><br />Of course it was rejected out of hand. Only hate, accusations, demonization and lies regarding BLM are tolerated.<br /><br />This is the con-servative view. What can change their willful ignorance, bigotry and hate for those not in their cult? Only finding a conscience, understanding the nature and consequences of Right wing hate, injustice for minorities, and police brutality. This would require them to honestly examine their beliefs and be open to the facts that contradict those beliefs.<br /><br />Of course, all of this is contrary to the nature of the authoritarian personality.<br /><br /><br /><br />Dave Dubyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03279370558997246976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-134372208798387606.post-82140622409409161622020-07-21T13:03:35.868-04:002020-07-21T13:03:35.868-04:00If I may insert more accurate framing and context....If I may insert more accurate framing and context.<br /><br />"BLM (the organization) does not matter to me as (<b>I believe</b>) they are Marxist, anti-police, anti-nuclear family, anti-faith, and anti-American."<br /><br />None of these accusations are shown to be true if one actually read BLM's stated <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/what-we-believe/" rel="nofollow">beliefs</a>.<br /><br />Conservatism is social/political belief system, not a science based, humanitarian, rational philosophy.<br /><br />Much of their belief system requires falsely and negatively portraying the beliefs and characteristics of the millions of humans and conditions unfamiliar to their world view.Dave Dubyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03279370558997246976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-134372208798387606.post-37624721023098565512020-07-20T20:27:41.328-04:002020-07-20T20:27:41.328-04:00Black Lives Matter, but... the organization! That...Black Lives Matter, but... the organization! That's what I'm going to hark about! Yeah, the organization!<br /><br />It's funny how I missed the part on the organization's website that clearly states what the stand for and believe where they espoused marxism, anti-faith and anti-American messages. Anti-Police? I wouldn't phrase it that way, but sure, Anti-Police brutality and Anti-Police Violence and Anti-Police racism. Yeah, sure. Anti-Nuclear Family? Because they're promoting a 'It Takes a Village' approach to dealing with broken homes? I also don't get the 'Championing the LGBTQ community (as if that is a bad thing?) and how that destroys your heternormativity (again, as if this is some kind of bad thing that affects you one iota, unless... of course... it makes you question something about yourself?). I definitely missed the part of their beliefs that makes them anti-Israel (also, again, not really sure how that affects you if they were but that's a whole 'nother political rabbit hole that "conservatives"/"evangelicals" like to dig themselves into)<br /><br />It's cool that you believe in Black Lives Matter. It'd be cooler if you wrote something about in a more positive light. That's kinda, really, what my point was. Black Lives Matter, but... now that I got that formality out of the way, I'm going to spend the rest of my blogpost defining what you think BLM is, what you think brings black prosperity, and ragging on the 'Organization'. Instead of, you know, all the stuff that happened which brought about the organization's genesis.TB3https://www.blogger.com/profile/18261016141806763895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-134372208798387606.post-78102069846914578982020-07-20T19:10:28.345-04:002020-07-20T19:10:28.345-04:00TB3, "but..."
Who said "but"...TB3, "but..." <br /><br />Who said "but". I said black lives absolutely and inarguably matter very much.<br /><br />BLM (the organization) does not matter to me as they are Marxist, anti-police, anti-nuclear family, anti-faith, and anti-American. <br /><br />I can support without caveat the former while not liking or supporting the latter without any contradiction whatsoever.<br /><br />I can say and believe that white lives matter without supporting the evil organization of the KKK that also thinks white lives matter.<br /><br />Do you see the difference, my friend? ;)<br /><br />Darrell Michaelshttp://savingcommonsense.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-134372208798387606.post-62762466903291412212020-07-20T17:02:39.453-04:002020-07-20T17:02:39.453-04:00You are confused, Dave? Come now... I think you m...You are confused, Dave? Come now... I think you may be trying to hoodwink us. :)<br /><br />I absolutely believe that black lives matter. All people of color must be afforded the same rights, respect, and dignities that every other person has. All people of good will should work to defend those rights and dignities as we combat racism wherever it is found. <br /><br />I do not support BLM the organization because its agenda isn't simply about helping black lives. It is about destroying capitalism, "disrupting" the nuclear family, supporting the abolishing of police and prisons, championing the LGBTQ community and anything that destroys "heteronormativity", and of course the boycotting and divestment from the "racist apartheid regime" of Israel. In other words, the people associated with BLM the organization have ideas that far exceed ending racism and are frankly anti-American in their breadth, scope, and character.<br /><br />The KKK claims to be for the advancement for white Americans and yet I fully-throatedly denounce their hate, racism, and anti-American ways too. <br /><br />Hope that helps clarify my position, my friend.Darrell Michaelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05474956372325309461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-134372208798387606.post-58317559106507342642020-07-20T15:14:46.720-04:002020-07-20T15:14:46.720-04:00"Black Lives absolutely matter, but..." ..."Black Lives absolutely matter, but..." - Paraphrase of people who don't actually believe Black Lives Matter.<br /><br />TB3https://www.blogger.com/profile/18261016141806763895noreply@blogger.com
