GQP attacks on the military

[One Brow]

Lol Biden threatens 2nd amendment supporters with Nukes and F15s and Democrats are concerned about tabloids.

I didn't hear a threat. He was chuckling at the notion a few gun-nuts could defend themselves from the best military force on earth.

He brought up war against his own citizens. Not the biggest deal but it's a pretty dangerous thing for the man who's supposed to unite us to say. It's also obvious he doesn't remember Bush and him and Obama getting their asses kicked in Afghanistan. Or study basic guerilla warfare. Not to mention if the idiot is going to go to war over our constitutional rights he better understand a good chunk of military is pro constitution and pro 2nd amendment. They are not going to fight for a guy who hates the very thing they've signed up to protect.

Top US general rejected Trump suggestions military should 'crack skulls' during protests last year, new book claims

Washington(CNN)The top US general repeatedly pushed back on then-President Donald Trump's argument that the military should intervene violently in order to quell the civil unrest that erupted around the country last year…

"That's how you're supposed to handle these people," Trump told his top law enforcement and military officials, according to Bender. "Crack their skulls!"


Trump also told his team that he wanted the military to go in and "beat the f--k out" of the civil rights protesters, Bender writes.

"Just shoot them," Trump said on multiple occasions inside the Oval Office, according to the excerpts.

I really don’t like it when the president threatens the American people.

When the looting starts the shooting starts. Oh and you gotta fight like hell and head on over to the white house. Maybe hang mike pence while you are there, IDK.

No, he responded to a threat of war by some of our citizens.

As for the rest, I'll leave you to your fantasies.

No, you're just completely wrong. Hyperbolic would indicate there is some level of truth in what you were saying, but there is not.

First, Wikipedia is a garbage source and you should really get your information on politically hot topics from other places, but even Wikipedia mentions Marx all over the Critical Theory page which I'm sure you noticed.

Second, and this is the important part, all you have to do is read the book being argued over. The book on the recommended reading list is Ibram X. Kendi's 'How to Be an Antiracist', and he doesn't hide the message. By page 3 you've got "in order to truly be antiracist, you also have to truly be anticapitalist" and "To love capitalism is to end up loving racism."

Who? Who's threatening war that's credibl? Provide evidence. Im sure there are one or two people like all the group of main stream Democrats who threatened to kill Trump and blow up the Whitehouse.

Biden was stupidly stating that the 2nd amendment is worthless because he could just nuke people and bomb them. That's his point.

Damn... @One Brow don't you think this is threatening our basic fabric of America?

First, Wikipedia is a garbage source and you should really get your information on politically hot topics from other places, but even Wikipedia mentions Marx all over the Critical Theory page which I'm sure you noticed.

I did notice. It used phrases like "drawing on the ideas of Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud." (but I notice you didn't say they were Freudians). One of their motivations was to criticize "both the model of science put forward by logical positivism, and what he and his colleagues saw as the covert positivism and authoritarianism of orthodox Marxism and Communism". It talks of using "critique" in the way Kant and Marx used the word. If you actually read the article, you see critical theory distinguishes itself from Marxism and/or analyzes the failures of Marxism in most of the mentions of "Marx" in the article. I mean, did you just do a word count without bothering to to learn anything?

Critical theory was post-modernism-style analysis applied to some political systems, much like critical race theory is a post-modernism-style analysis applied to the relationship between governments and race.

I agree Wikipedia is not a source worthy of use in a professional setting, but this is a comment board, and I feel quite comfortable using it here. That said, if you feel you have a more reliable source on the contents of critical race theory, I would be happy to read a brief summary.

Second, and this is the important part, all you have to do is read the book being argued over. The book on the recommended reading list

You seem to have lost the thread here. You were responding to the contents of a speech by Gen. Miley, and there was no recommended reading list put forth that I could see. What is your source for this list? I did find this, which mentions Kendi's book as one that uses some principles and ideas:

Have you read Kendi's definition of "anticapitalist"? Perhaps you could point out to me the parts that are explicitly Marxist in the quote below?

“I use “anticapitalist” because conservative defenders of capitalism regularly say their liberal and socialist opponents are against capitalism. They say efforts to provide a safety net for all people are “anticapitalist.” They say attempts to prevent monopolies are “anticapitalist.” They say efforts that strengthen weak unions and weaken exploitative owners are “anticapitalist.” They say plans to normalize worker ownership and regulations protecting consumers, workers, and environments from big business are “anticapitalist.” They say laws taxing the richest more than the middle class, redistributing pilfered wealth, and guaranteeing basic incomes are “anticapitalist.” They say wars to end poverty are “anticapitalist.” They say campaigns to remove the profit motive from essential life sectors like education, healthcare, utilities, mass media, and incarceration are “anticapitalist.” In doing so, these conservative defenders are defining capitalism. They define capitalism as the freedom to exploit people into economic ruin; the freedom to assassinate unions; the freedom to prey on unprotected consumers, workers, and environments; the freedom to value quarterly profits over climate change; the freedom to undermine small businesses and cushion corporations; the freedom from competition; the freedom not to pay taxes; the freedom to heave the tax burden onto the middle and lower classes; the freedom to commodify everything and everyone; the freedom to keep poor people poor and middle-income people struggling to stay middle income, and make rich people richer. The history of capitalism—of world warring, classing, slave trading, enslaving, colonizing, depressing wages, and dispossessing land and labor and resources and rights—bears out the conservative definition of capitalism.”

Who? Whos threatening war?

The people saying they need weapons to defend themselves from the US government. If you are unaware of such people, you can find them easily enough. I understand what Biden is saying differently than you do.

Damn... @One Brow don't you think this is threatening our basic fabric of America?

No, as I made clear in my response. I think Al-O-Meter has not studied this subject in any depth, and doesn't understand the terms they are using and why they are used the way they are used.

How about you go through that quote from Kendi and pull out what you see as "threatening our basic fabric"?

What a copout. Nobody is credibly threatening war outside of maybe a few idiot groups. Just fear mongering
Just like the Democrats who threatened to behead Trump, blow up the Whitehouse, and murder him like the guy here in this forum did. It's not credible. The constitution, the law of the land you all hate, says we need weapons. It's a "basic fabric in America"...
