It's funny because the people most affected by this literally voted for this to continue and get even worse.


The flyover red states bring me endless mirth.

This is something that has always fascinated me about Europe, South America, or the middle east. If you piss on a bush in europe, you piss where the ancient romans pissed, you piss where battles raged and civilizations rose and fell for thousands of years, but if you whizz on a bush in north america, all you take a leak on is some place where indians just kinda hung around and fucked for a long time before we came along.

>>89277
The thing about the Americas is, the land you are standing on at any given time could have been the subject of a bitter multi-century war between tribes for centuries before Europeans came. There is little way to know for sure without a time machine.

I conclude that it's hard to take a piss anywhere on this planet where no genocide has taken place

they tried to irritate us-russia relations just to sour trump, what makes you think they wouldn't go further?

I don't care for repressive, authoritarian governments but we don't have the resources to fight every battle simultaneously
.
We have to be diplomatic if we want to make progress.
Demanding every decision be made on the basis of an uncompromising and micromanaging ideology is bound to be counter-productive. We can certainly have ideals like support representative governments for all people, but we can't just be tactical; we've got to be strategic if we want to achieve that.

>Emboldened by Mr. Trump’s takeover of the Republican Party, Mr. Forney said he expected people openly associated with the white nationalist movement to run as candidates in the 2018 midterm elections. The rise of populism and the decline of political correctness, he said, present a rare opportunity.

>Robert Taylor, 29, described the conference as a “victory party.” Mr. Taylor was a committed libertarian, he said, working for Ron Paul’s presidential campaigns and even moving to New Hampshire for a project organized by the like-minded. If Hillary Clinton had won the election, he said, he would have advocated secession.

>“I thought I had all the right answers and had read all the right books,” he said. “I heard about the alt-right movement, and it just lit a fire in me.”

>Mr. Taylor said that with Mr. Trump, “we have breathing room; we have a little time.”

>Mr. Trump has shrugged off any suggestions that he has connections to the alt-right. But his hard-line views on immigration and his “America First” foreign policy have captivated members of the movement. His appointment as chief strategist of Stephen K. Bannon, who has called Breitbart News, the website he long ran, a platform for the alt-right, has reinforced the notion that the incoming president is on their side.

>The white nationalist embrace of Mr. Trump was on display Saturday at the gathering, which was the annual conference of a group called the National Policy Institute. Guests nibbled on chicken piccata while discussing ways to reorient America’s demographics. Many of the attendees, who were mostly white men, wore red “Make America Great Again” hats. T-shirts emblazoned with Mr. Trump’s face sold quickly.

>While the enthusiasm inside the conference was evident, the resistance to the alt-right remains powerful. A recent surge in hate crimes and reports of verbal and physical assaults on minorities are putting new pressure on groups that promote racism.
...

>Many sites will not host their events, and some of their members have had their social media accounts suspended in response to vicious trolling of Jewish journalists and critics of Mr. Trump. A large group of protesters marched around the Ronald Reagan Building, which, as a federal property, could not decline to host the conference.

>“These people have their right to freedom of speech, but the values they represent don’t represent America,” said Jon Pattee, 48. “I characterize them as the shirt-and-tie arm of the white supremacist-nationalist movement.”

>Republicans who are more mainstream are also unlikely to accept the movement’s more provocative ideas.

>“They have to grow up and start shedding some of their more controversial elements,” said Erick Erickson, a conservative blogger and commentator who has been critical of Mr. Trump. “I don’t think they will ever be accepted wholeheartedly in the Republican Party.”

>Nonetheless, alt-right leaders said they planned to use their newfound influence to pressure Mr. Trump to take more “heretical” policy positions, such as a moratorium on net immigration for the next 50 years. White Europeans, Mr. Spencer said, would be given preference.

>“In the long run, people like Bannon and Trump will be open to the clarity of our ideas,” said Jared Taylor, the founder of the white nationalist publication American Renaissance.

>Like Mr. Trump, Mr. Spencer, who has become the face of the alt-right, derided NATO as “clumsy and ineffective.” He called for friendlier relations with the Russian president, Vladimir V. Putin, and for the deportation of undocumented immigrants, drawing chants of “build that wall.”
...

>“I think moving forward the alt-right as an intellectual vanguard can complete Trump,” Mr. Spencer said. “We can be the ones who are out front, who are thinking about things that he hasn’t grasped yet.”

>Although alt-right leaders say they want to become more politically active, it remains unclear how they will react to being more closely aligned to the establishment or what they will do if Mr. Trump starts to moderate his views. His outreach to African-Americans during the final months of the campaign angered some of his white nationalist followers, raising concerns among them that Mr. Trump might not be so different after all.

>“It’s a fleeting moment of optimism,” said Al Stankard, 29, of Baltimore, who goes by the pseudonym Haarlen Venison online and was handing out his novel, “Death to the World.”

>Mr. Stankard said he thought it was unlikely that Mr. Trump would be able to do things like end affirmative action, even though he believes that the president-elect sympathizes with the plight of “white racists.” He predicted that Mr. Trump might disappoint white nationalists in the same way that President Obama disappointed some of his supporters by failing to bring postracial unity to the nation.

>“These are semi-delusional fantasies,” Mr. Stankard said.

Pretty sure OSU proved that theres no need for a firearm, also the fucks have been burning shit since they came here. But this is still a step in the right direction, if you dont wanna outright deport them.

>>89344
Deport them out right, ban guns, build a wall of merkel doesen't back down.

>Frustration also boiled over inside the mainstream media.

>One Politico editor, Michael Hirsh, resigned last week after posting Spencer’s addresses on Facebook and telling followers to "Stop whining about Richard B. Spencer, Nazi, and exercise your rights as decent Americans,” according to comments first reported by the Daily Caller.

>“He lives part of the time next door to me in Arlington. Our grandfathers brought baseball bats to Bund meetings,” Hirsh wrote, alluding to Jewish Americans who attacked Nazi sympathizers before World War II. “Want to join me?” (Politico’s top editors denounced Hirsh’s remarks.)

>Trump himself disavowed the alt-right in a meeting with New York Times journalists, telling them, “It’s not a group I want to energize, and if they are energized I want to look into it and find out why.”

>Among the alt-right’s less hard-core associates, the coverage of the Nazi salutes has been like a light suddenly turned on in a dark room. They scattered, issuing clarifications and recriminations along the way.

>Paul Joseph Watson, an editor for the conspiracy-minded site InfoWars, said in July that he was “in the alt-right,” but then denied it last week, going on to argue that two different factions of the group had emerged.

>“One is more accurately described as the New Right. These people like to wear MAGA [Make America Great Again] hats, create memes & have fun,” Watson wrote on Facebook, criticizing mainstream media for focusing on Trump’s racist supporters. “They include whites, blacks, Asians, Latinos, gays and everyone else. These are the people who helped Trump win the election.

>“The other faction likes to fester in dark corners of sub-reddits” — a reference to branches of the social-media site Reddit — “and obsess about Jews, racial superiority and Adolf Hitler. This is a tiny fringe minority. They had no impact on the election.”
...

>White nationalists are alt-right and right-wing sites like Breitbart News and its chairman, the new White House advisor Stephen K. Bannon, are alt-lite, according to Brad Griffin, a white nationalist who blogs under the pen name Hunter Wallace at the site Occidental Dissent.

>“Steve Bannon is the most important figure in the alt-lite,” Griffin wrote. “We all see Breitbart as the premier alt-lite website which has popularized a diluted version of our beliefs.”

>Breitbart News, which channels a more nationalistic form of mainstream conservatism, gained notoriety over the last year both for implicitly supporting Trump’s candidacy and for Bannon’s proud announcement to Mother Jones in August, “We're the platform for the alt-right.”

>Left-wing critics have called the site a front for white nationalism and anti-Semitism, which its staffers have vigorously denied.

>Bannon and Breitbart staffers have distanced themselves from the alt-right label, which Bannon defined in a postelection interview with the Wall Street Journal as “younger people who are anti-globalists, very nationalist, terribly anti-establishment.”

>Bannon said alt-right supporters had “some racial and anti-Semitic overtones” that he said he disagreed with, and that Breitbart News provides “an outlet for 10 or 12 or 15 lines of thought,” of which the alt-right is “a tiny part.”

>The heightened scrutiny of the alt-right has led mainstream institutions to draw tougher policies on addressing the movement.

>After the election, Twitter banished many prominent far-right users from its service, which had been a staging ground for racist, sexist and anti-Jewish attacks against public figures and journalists.
...

>Many supporters have since retreated to the new social-media service Gab, which bills itself as a safe space from censorship. At one point last week, at least six of Gab’s top 10 trending hashtags either referenced Trump or the alt-right.

>“Gab I love you,” a user named “Deplorable Daniel” posted on Nov. 22. “But man there is a scary amount of Nazis or National Socialists. I feel like Gab may be under Attack.”

>On Monday, the Associated Press issued an addition to its style guide, counseling caution on the use of alt-right and urging reporters to “avoid using the term generically and without definition.” It added, “In the past we have called such beliefs racist, neo-Nazi or white supremacist.” In a memo issued to its staff after the election, NPR said, “‘White nationalist’ is the most concise description.”

>The Times has not issued a specific style policy on alt-right, although its general guidelines call for describing groups’ beliefs rather than simply labeling them.

>“The truth is, the alt-right is a new buzzword that made it appear as if these white supremacists have something different to offer,” said Oren Segal, director of the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism. “The name is an alternative to ‘white supremacy.’ They just want to make it more acceptable, digestible to white people.”

>Segal added, “There’s nothing new there.”

What a shame she had to die.

Poor girl.

Is it strange that I am now so completely confused by trans terminology that I have no idea if the the teen was a girl or a boy

>ftm trans guy held in women's wing of detention center despite passing as male
>treated like a girl despite making it clear he was trans
you wrote that. Reason of suicide actually unknown. Person was there because he was assumed to be suicidal anyway. Perhaps an earlier attempt.
>kills himself while on suicide watch
Now THAT is outrageous. Pretty sure that's not supposed to happen. Or does suicide watch merely mean you watch him through the security camera with a bowl of popcorn in front of you?

>>86206
>Civil rights advocates on Monday called on Maine officials to mount a special investigation into the death of a transgender male teenager who was held in the female wing of a state youth detention center about two weeks ago.
>transgender male teenager who was held in the female wing
considered himself to be male, the prison staff thought she was a girl. My money is on that (s)he had a dick.

>Funeral directors Jamie Peacher and Darryl Young remember when the father, Devin Harley, called Simplicity Lowcountry Cremation and Burial to make arrangements.

>"His question was, ‘How much would it cost to cremate a five, six, and seven-year-old?’” Peacher said.

There's just a few protests in some cities. No actual riots going on just the media blowing things out of proportion again

Some people really hate democracy.

>Hundreds of people descended on California
>Hillary Clinton supporters were filmed setting fire to the US flag while marching through the streets of Portland, Oregon, shouting "F*** Donald Trump"
>Meanwhile, a young student has reportedly been hit by an SUV and severely injured during a march in Berkeley
This is manly upper class white people throwing tantrums.

It's over.

>Barrow has appeared to energize the opposition: An "unprecedented number of people turned up at opposition rallies ahead of the election," according to the BBC.

>However, Jammeh is widely expected to maintain his grip on power, according to The Associated Press. A headline in the Daily Observer, a state-run newspaper, hailed a victory for Jammeh as "inevitable."

>A BBC correspondent witnessed long lines at polling stations and said turnout "appears to be very high."

>Gambia uses a unique system of marbles for its elections. "There will be three drums at each polling station, representing the three colors of the three candidates," the BBC says. "The photos will be affixed to these drums for ease of identifying the candidates of the voter's choice."

>Then, the voter deposits a marble into the drum representing a candidate. The marbles are then counted on a special tray. The BBC reports that Gambia has been using this system since the 1960s, saying that it is cost-effective and user-friendly.

>Gambia has also "not had a smooth transfer of power" since it gained independence from the U.K. in 1965, the broadcaster says.

>Authorities blocked the European Union from montoring the vote, Reuters adds, but allowed African Union observers into the country.

>Gambia made headlines when it announced in October that it was withdrawing from the International Criminal Court. As we reported, Gambia accused the court of bias against Africans.
