Cancel Culture?????

[mythplaed]

This younger generation was raised with an entitlement mindset and that they were special and above average in every respect. Of course if everyone is special and above average then no one is, lol. But they think they have the moral authority to bend reality to suit them and of course silence any dissent since they are the arbiters of what is right and holy. The radicals of the 1960s have succeeded in brainwashing an entire generation or two.

Give it a rest . Generalizations get us nowhere and just create discord. People are individuals. Is it true to say the "Boomers" (yes, I am one) are all selfish, greedy, immoral individuals who left a poisoned planet? of course not.

My millennial and gen Z children and grandchildren are raised with Love, Moral and Ethical values, Spirituality, and are well educated. No entitlement in sight. THey work, pay their own way, pay taxes (unlike some) take care of their children (unlike some), and are generally happy people.

Let's focus on what we have in common, not what are our differences.

Things I hope we have in common:

• I love my children and your children
  
• I love my planet
  
• I Respect all other human beings
  
• I despise ignorant know-it-alls who will not listen to facts
  
• I believe it is right to support oneself and one's family
  
• I believe there is a higher power
  
• I believe it is NEVER ok to physically or verbally assault another human unless you are defending self or family. (I could care less about property as its all insured)
  
• I love the wind in my hair when I ride
  
• Everyone deserves to be loved
  
• Everyone is entitled to dignity and safety
  

BTW...Don't freak out over these ANTIFA posters from 1943! THIS is what my ANTIFA parents (Greatest Generation) fought and died for.

You dishonor their sacrifice when you support fascist ideals and actions.

So I'm confused ... you actually think the ANTIFA who created those posters are the SAME ANTIFA that is currently tearing down statues all over the country?????

To be clear ... not challenging your views ... just trying to understand.

Yes Fuzz, me too, I'm trying to understand the difference. I was born in 1933 and I don't remember those posters or those people.

Probably getting moved to the Jungle now.

[FONT=&quot]Apparently Churchill’s name was spuriously appended to this statement about fascism circa [/FONT]2010[FONT=&quot] more than 40 years after his death (and with no supporting evidence).

Texas Governor Abbott posted it, so I thought it was a fact. After I thought about it, I remembered what he said in a press conference [/FONT][FONT=&quot]“What I tweeted was a sentiment that I had. It was irrelevant to me who may or may not have said that in the past. I didn’t want to be accused of plagiarism for saying it. If no one else said it, attribute the quote to me because it’s what I believe in.”

I do not see the connection with the Fascist regimes of WW2, am I missing something here?

:Shrug: Norman Rockwell posters. But trying to understand the connection, if any.....?

The word “Antifa” is short for “anti-facists” and refers to a loose collective of militant anti-fascist protesters. They have evolved into what has been described as a movement involving individuals on the radical left of the political spectrum, which include socialists, anarchists, communists or anti-capitalists.

Though the origins of the movement are hard to pinpoint, experts believe that it can be traced back to Germany and Italy, where it gained momentum before the Second World War as backlash to the rise of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.

Thanks for that ...

If that happens they will have to change the rules Harris cannot be President the way it is now. That said Obama was anyway, sad but it happened Civil War is just around the corner and Patriots better get ready just sayin. these people are not Americans they are communists make no mistake about it.

How do you figure that ?

 

[MikeyTX]

This is why by this time next year, you will have your first women president. The Dem. establishment will force Ol' Joe out before his first year is up.

Sorry, but that won't happen. Biden does two years and one day. Then hands it to Harris. Under constitutional law, she then serves out the remainder of his term. She can then legally run for two terms on her own. This gives us 12 years of Democratic control. SCOTUS will move to the left of center. The ages of the sitting bench favor the Democrats. Ditto any federal judgeships beneath SCOTUS. Sad to say but Trump has left many lower tier federal bench appointments vacant. I will guarantee that will not happen with Biden/Harris in office.

Speaking of cancel .......... Austin, TX just voted to reduce funding to the police dept. This is going to work real good. Duh! :xzqxz: The homeless and the druggies are gonna love it. OTOH, the police will no longer respond to the aforementioned killing each other. This may help solve the homeless issue on its own. :clapping:

 

[MikeyTX]

Lastly, if anything gets defunded, it needs to be the highway patrol division of the Department of Public Safety. They have simply become tax collectors. Keep my alma mater, CID along with the license and weight group. The counties and local depts are covering the highways here in Texas as it is and doing a better job.

Not a bad thought Mike, if these protester terrorist kill, pillage and burn long enough, the problem may solve itself. I mean, how long will even the socialist politicians put up with it? The sad part is, these idiots want the tax payers to rebuild this mess.

 

[MikeyTX]

The organizations that illegally feed the people need to be defunded. They more than anything are enabling these people.

 

[bikerbillone]

For sure TX, that's the way socialist/dems wants the voters, dependency on the government equals votes and power. Anyone with half a brain can see that is not a good business plan for obvious reasons.

 

[MikeyTX]

I will give all a perfect example of what I'm thinking. TX still requires a front plate. None of the surrounding states require one. The toll roads are able to record the rear plate w/o issue. Motorcycles don't have front plates. The highway patrol will issue a citation for the infraction. The fine is $200.00 ............ However, it puts no points on one's driver's license. And, if one takes the time to request a court date and, the front plate is on the vehicle, the municipal court automatically throws out the citation. Go figure. I contested one just to see what would happen. The trooper showed up the first two times. He never showed once it was elevated to the district level. It was dismissed. At that point, the cost to the state of TX exceeded the fine. A total waste of my tax dollar.
