GQP attacks on the military

[The Thriller]

It’s been pretty sad to see how little principles really mattered to the GOP. As a liberal, I knew most of them merely used “support the troops” and “fiscal responsibility” as mindless tropes to attack liberals and trigger an emotional response and that if they could win by turning on these principles, they’d do so in a heartbeat.

So watching this attack on the military has been pretty funny to me. Like it’s just so predictable. Sad in that we desperately need a Conservative party. But funny because I’ve known for years how morally and intellectually bankrupt they’ve been. The whole tea party phenomenon pretended to care about fiscal responsibility when in reality it was just a reaction to a black person winning the presidency. “Support the blue, support the troops, and blue lives matter” is just a facade to beat and lock up blacks. We’re seeing how little these losers actually respect the military.

It began with this, Gen Milley emphasizing the importance of obtaining a well-rounded education:


Laura picked up on it yesterday and demanded we defund the military:


Tucker is attacking the military today:

 

[The Thriller]

This is… something.



Remember how some athletes took a knee during the anthem? So disrespectful. Right???

The issue for me is the reactionary, empty, and just pure emotion we’re seeing here. They want to defund the military because… why again? We’re learning a little bit about our nations history?

You know when you're doing something dumb and a person you respect pulls you aside and asks you to think about your actions... Normal people take a step back and think about their actions and maybe reconsider what they're doing.

Trumpers turn on their old respected friend and tell everyone else to turn on them as well. There's no reason for them to take a step back and think about the harm they are doing, they're too busy ******** on liberals and laughing like idiots about it.

That’s the next step. These fascists are already dreaming about mass murdering Americans:

I remember when trump acted like he was conducting an orchestra and shooting imaginary bullets at his guest with his (tiny) gun fingers during the national anthem for the superbowl. Trumpers didn't seem to care about that. Probably because a person of color was the one singing the anthem so its ok to disrespect it in that case.

It began with this, Gen Milley emphasizing the importance of obtaining a well-rounded education:

The truly sad aspect is that it is important to understand Critical Race Theory, and almost no one does despite nearly everyone having an opinion about it. Even General Milley admits that he doesn’t know what Critical Race Theory is starting at about 28 seconds into the clip in the tweet.

Then at around 1:20 into the clip, General Milley says that he’s read Mao Zedong and Karl Marx. Everyone seems to be missing how correct it is to lump Mao, Marx, and CRT together. They are the same, and I’m not being hyperbolic.

It seems that every time someone wants to debate CRT, they immediately go to supporting or attacking DEI (Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion) education. They aren’t synonymous. CRT is a type of DEI, but not all DEI is CRT. Critical Race Theory is Marxism. That is why it is called CRITICAL race THEORY!

Marxism comes in many flavors. Maoism is different that Stalinism which was different from Leninism. A group of Marxist intellectuals came together in the 1920’s in the Frankfurt School to propose what Marxism they should implement in Germany. What they came up with they termed “Critical Theory”. The German public rejected Critical Theory and chose the less scary option of the Nationalist-Socialist Workers Party. The intellectual proponents of Critical Theory then fled to the United States.

In the 1970’s someone came up with the idea of substituting all the references to class with references to race and Critical Race Theory was born. CRT isn’t about racists but rather systems of power and oppression. It is Marxism. When the leaders of BLM said they were Marxists, this is the Marxism they were talking about.

If schools want to teach the ugliest parts of American History, then there is a value to that. It is admirable if schools want programs to foster diversity, equity, and inclusion. That said, CRT should only be in schools if it is paired with the history of what always happens to societies that organize around Marxist principles. Think Soviet Marxism was great? -> Holodomor dead bodies. Think Maoist Marxism was great? -> Great Leap Forward dead bodies. Think French-inspired Khmer Rouge Marxism was great? -> Killing Fields dead bodies. Think CRT Marxism is great? -> Well class, where does history suggest that train is going to go?

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

Funny thing is Thriller the biggest antipolice bigot on this forum was hating on the military just a few months ago saying we need to defund it for Warrens healthcare plan

 

[JazzyFresh]

I mean you have the Democratic party hating our police, killing police in cold blood, supporting a terrorist organization that chants about killing police, thousands of police injured, twerking on ambulances with a dead body inside but omg somebody said something mean. Lol I just searched Thriller and police and there are 10+ pages of the hypocrite spewing pure hatred...

GQP though. It's ok for him to hate our officers. The double standards and every day hypocrisy is just sad.

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

It seems that every time someone wants to debate CRT, they immediately go to supporting or attacking DEI (Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion) education.

Wrong. Care to try again?

Here's an easy one: can you name one idea the Critical Race Theorists say should be taught in the 7th or 8th grades?

Spoiler: The complete list

There are none. They all say critical race theory is too difficult to teach in the K-12 grade levels.

They aren’t synonymous. CRT is a type of DEI, but not all DEI is CRT. Critical Race Theory is Marxism. That is why it is called CRITICAL race THEORY!

Quoted from Wikipedia: a scientific theory is an explanation of an aspect of the natural world and universe that can be repeatedly tested and verified in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results. It is "critical" because it does not accept the standard interpretations of government systems, but looks at them from the experience of how people interact with these systems.

Marxism comes in many flavors. Maoism is different that Stalinism which was different from Leninism. A group of Marxist intellectuals came together in the 1920’s in the Frankfurt School to propose what Marxism they should implement in Germany. What they came up with they termed “Critical Theory”. The German public rejected Critical Theory and chose the less scary option of the Nationalist-Socialist Workers Party. The intellectual proponents of Critical Theory then fled to the United States.

Again, quoted from Wikipedia: critical theory (also capitalized as Critical Theory) is an approach to social philosophy that focuses on reflective assessment and critique of society and culture in order to reveal and challenge power structures.

Also, any sort of claim that the citizens of the Wiemar Republic had to choose between Marxism and the Nazi party is just silly.

In the 1970’s someone came up with the idea of substituting all the references to class with references to race and Critical Race Theory was born. CRT isn’t about racists but rather systems of power and oppression. It is Marxism. When the leaders of BLM said they were Marxists, this is the Marxism they were talking about.

The actual start of CRT:

Agreed.

That said, CRT should only be in schools

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.

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.

 

[Al-O-Meter]

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.
