This is a link post 'Broken men filled with shrapnel and guilt'
I know this will annoy some who are totally over trump-related posts but this speech from Arnie is even better than previous movie speeches such as this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrRgT6nLKPo
worth noting that Arnie's own dad fought in the Wehrmacht and was an SA member before the anschluss.

This is a normal post I was surprised by that. It was good but...
The opening line irked me. He says there are not two sides to bigotry or hatred. I think there are plenty of different sides to hatred. The motives behind Barcelona, or whichever European city, take your pick, are somewhat different to those behind Charlottesville.

This is a normal post I think point is
that *opposing* bigotry and hatred - whether Nazi or Jihadist - is not just a 'different side' as Trump tried to claim.
Bigots and haters be bigots and haters whether they have bushy beards or stupid faschi haircuts. I'd include extreme animal rights in the haters so let's add in stupid whiteboy dreads to the haircuts of hatred mix.*
*also I fucking hate stupid whiteboy dreads.

This is a normal post No, they aren't.
Dreads appeared in many cultures including ancient egyptians, celtic & germanic tribes and vikings. They aren't the preserve of any culture, neither is tattooing which is also often hijacked in the old cultural appropriation twaddle.

This is a normal post I am absolutely a viking apologist.
After Charlemagne spread that jebus nonsense at the point of a sword, I think the vikings were right to seek reparations from the evil monks in their abbeys where they bummed little boys.

Some tats are pretty cool, especially the ones that mean something. I had a half maori housemate that had a tattoo that told the story of her mum's tribe, it was definitely culture :)

This is a normal post I'm sure you're right.
I should probably shut up, lest some moron accuses me of defending the Trumpcunt. I just think there is hate everywhere and Arnie has rather oversimplified it. Foutrteen policemen were shot, five died, last year at a BLM demo. The shooter made his motives very clear on social media beforehand. Some small time Republicans were shot while playing baseball by a 'left wing activist' more recently. It's not just these Nazi flag wavers that are the problem. The problem is legion.

This is a normal post The police seem to be shooting rather more blacks
even unarmed ones. even lying on the ground trying to surrender ones. 135 blacks have been killed by police in the uS this year, while 253 whites have been killed. Blacks make up 13 per cent of the population.
Possible reasons for this outcome@ blacks are always shooting police - nope. Only 80 police have died in line of duty this years.
Police are racist?
edit: but this is simple - his speech was in response to Trump. Nazis are bad m'kay?
edit edit: of the 80 dead cops 28 died by gunfire. 'Officer down' (my source) includes K9 Chris K9 Dingo K9 Kyro, K8 Rico and K9 Rooster in the total.

This is a normal post I've done this US cops being trigger happy on here before.
IMHO it simply boils down to this: whatever your skin colour, if you resist arrest or are obstructive or uncooperative or frankly just a bit rude to the police in the USA, there is a very real possibility of death. End of.
Also Diana died because she wasn't wearing a seatbelt. There were other contributing factors, but ultimately if she'd had the common sense to wear a fucking seat belt she'd not have died. End of.

This is a normal post I don't think being armed is going to protect from a single punch.
Or from people being rude.
Especially if you are carrying a concealed weapon.
Carrying an automatic weapon across your chest will cause social interaction problems at a profound level.
Is that really your defence of the second amendment 'if I'm rude, I may be shot'?
I can think of many better ones. None that really work, obs, but it's your country not mine.

This is a normal post It still is not a contradiction
Holding an individual accountable for their actions is not the same as condemning them for their colour or religion. To take your argumement reductio ad absurdum if all humans are of equal value none should be punished for their actions. You are conflating individual human value with humans with free will accountable for actions. And wrongly so.

Absolutely no back-pedalling from me. I was merely commenting that your contention that the speech was 'good' was basically a load of shite, if in fact you meant it, and pointed part of that out. I certainly could not give a fuck what a bad actor, and a misogynist who could trump Trump, has to say about, well ... about anything I s'pose. Or, indeed, any of the Libtards on B3ta.
