And brain damage worked for Jordan Peterson - will you be having a go at that next?

Nope... it's far worse.

Right-wing ideology only exists to protect power and privilege, Clyde - it exists to hide the truth and nothing else.

But hey... maybe all that ivermectin you've been drinking will actually start working one of these days instead of slowly killing you, eh?

"Just right" is no more credible than "far right." Right-wing politics is a pack of lies and absolutely nothing else.

which has taken a sharp conservative turn

Wht the fuck do they still call these fascists "conservative"?

No, I mean there won’t be police around to protect your private property for you - which means that no-one is going to be forced to labor for your profit.

That's the thing... there won't be police around to protect your private property for you - which means that no-one is going to be forced to labor for your profit. If you have people working in that workshop, nothing will stop them from appropriating it from you and running it as a co-op for the benefit of the community and not you exclusively. This is why the wealthy and the privileged hates socialism.

and threaten them with death when they don’t.

You mean... except for that entire colonialism thing, huh?

These provocations make sense as long as the other side takes offense for so little

Go burn Bibles in public, then... we'll see how long it takes the christo-fascists to show up at your door. Somehow, I don't think you will.

The article sheds no light on what the actual motives of these particular protesters are.

Don't have to... it's very easy to tell what they are. And it seems plenty of people are willing to run interference for these nazis - as long as they can be aimed at Muslims, of course.

Nope.

Super-creeps exist in a specific universe where super-creeps make sense... ie, a world in which a billionaire can dress up in over-priced BDSM gear, beat marginalized people to death and be considered a "hero" for doing so. It's a very Randian universe... and it stinks.

Neat.

So do it, then. Burn a bible. Make sure you do it in the open, too.

so of course there would be less burning of the Bible,

There is absolutely no particular reason you should see Quran burnings in the west, either... that is, unless it's the same old west demonizing the same old "other."

not because of the notion of some atheists of ‘getting away with it’.

No, it's a valid question - if this is (supposedly) about "freedom of speech" (which the Quran burners always pretend it's all about), why don't you see these vitriolic right-wing atheists (for which dipshits like Bill Maher is a spokesperson) test "freedom of speech" by burning Bibles? I mean... this is about "freedom of speech," isn't it?

The internet poses a threat to the status quo - my local library will never stock anything written by Emma Goldman or Noam Chomsky, but, thanks to the interent, this information is pretty much at my fingertips.

They don't like that - it's far too democratic for a status quo that wants to pretend it's democratic while ensuring that we never understand the idea of democracy in any way that doesn't keep them in power and in the money.

You never see edgelord atheists burning Bibles to trigger Christians - and the reason they don't is because they know they won't get away with it. But since Muslims have been designated as an "acceptable" target in the west, this shit is allowed - and the right-wingers know they can push people into accepting their agenda like this.

Another Gen X-er here... this was before my time, too.

Well, he didn't fall out of a window - so I guess his death is something out of the ordinary.

Pretty much the only way you get a job these days.

At this moment? I'd say we should make peace with the fact that there aren't too many generations of humans ahead of us.

At one point or the other, we will have to accept the fact that saving humanity is not within our power - but wreaking vengeance on the elites that caused it is.

The state is not qualified to decide whether someone needs a pogo stick - neither are billionaire parasites.

Doesn't take a lot to make a right-winger project, does it?
