Oh, ok, he didn't call the Nazis "very fine people." He just called the people who were marching with the Nazis "very fine people."


No. He called history buffs and traditionalists opposed to yanking down historical statues "very fine people."


OMG "history buffs" with tiki torches and cars as murder weapons


You can’t use a car to commit mass murder. Everyone knows this.

Sure you can, and people have, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Berlin_truck_attack

Also mass non-murder homicide, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Monica_Farmers_Market_crash

You mean the "historical" statues that were specifically erected during the Jim Crow era that were meant specifically to further white supremacy and remind black people who was in charge?

"Most of the people who were involved in erecting the monuments were not necessarily erecting a monument to the past," said Jane Dailey, an associate professor of history at the University of Chicago."But were rather, erecting them toward a white supremacist future."

The most recent comprehensive study of Confederate statues and monuments across the country was published by the Southern Poverty Law Center last year. A look at this chart shows huge spikes in construction twice during the 20th century: in the early 1900s, and then again in the 1950s and 60s. Both were times of extreme civil rights tension.


In the early 1900s, states were enacting Jim Crow laws to disenfranchise black Americans. In the middle part of the century, the civil rights movement pushed back against that segregation.


James Grossman, the executive director of the American Historical Association, says that the increase in statues and monuments was clearly meant to send a message.

"These statues were meant to create legitimate garb for white supremacy," Grossman said. "Why would you put a statue of Robert E. Lee or Stonewall Jackson in 1948 in Baltimore?"

Man, it sure is weird that these "history buffs" only seem to want to preserve racist statues memorializing people who fought for the right to own other humans. You don't seem to see mobs with torches yelling "Jews will not replace us" and "blood and soil" when someone wants to tear down art deco hotels or brutalist office buildings. It's almost as if it's not about the statues at all and actually about the white supremacy they represent...

So we should take everyone’s cars away because a few people did something? Preposterous.

Don’t blame me, I’m not the one suggesting it’s possible to commit murder with cars.

DP. Do you actually think it's impossible to commit murder with a car? It's definitely not. It's possible to commit murder with all kinds of things, like scissors; either denying that or jumping to "I guess you really to ban scissors, then" are both weird reactions.

There is no such thing as “antifa”.
