The Protest Thread

[BurtReynolds]

"The UN supports antifa" is definitely top-five dumb guy thing that's been said this week, and that includes everything in tree_'s thread.

You gotta stop with these brainwashed takes, man. That's two absolute gems on that page today!

[Mickey]

Lol pathetic. Someone should give you the kiss of death before you hurt yourself, Fredo.

[BurtReynolds]

Next you're gonna say something like "real socialists vote Biden" or some other normie shit.

[Mickey]

Why would I say that? Another swing and a miss.

[McParadigm]

I love how Burt can be all

one minute, and then the next minute the top law enforcement figure for the power structure itself implies that dissenting protesters are terrorists, and he’s like “yeah get em”

[Mickey]

Yeah but the globalists

[BurtReynolds]

Yeah but the globalists

Is that another thing that isn't real? Another crazy hallucination? I'm relying on you guys to tell me these things. I'm clearly not mentally well enough to make these decisions.

Trump? Imagine thinking he's on top of anything.

Wait, did you read *the thing you posted*?

I'm sorry you're just gonna have to spell it out for me. You see, I'm suffering from paranoid delusions.

[McParadigm]

Oh I’ve noticed

[BurtReynolds]

gotta admit, the Union memorials are nice

This is a recurring theme with you. I did not say it's not real, that there aren't currently political figures across the world pushing for an even more globalized market and production chain (we tend to call them neoliberals). What's laughable is the idea that the UN, as a relatively heterogeneous organization, can be painted with such a broad brush, or more generally, that these menacing shadow forces you see, which do exist, though in a much more quotidian fashion, are in open collusion, which they are not. It's a simpleton's understanding of power and global politics, which is why you so often find yourself needing to set your arguments up against the straw man of "everyone tells me it's not real bro."

And no I do not think you're mentally well.

Wow

It's a recurring theme because a lot of the RM Brain Trust's responses are the same tired downplaying bullshit, without presenting an actual argument against what I'm saying. The Cult of Eternal Handwaving... but maybe not you as much. You mostly just stick to insults, which frankly I find a lot less annoying.

You attribute things to my argument that aren't really there, when we actually agree on some things. By support I don't mean it's some secret conspiracy where the Supreme Commander of Antifa gets his marching orders directly from the UN Human Rights Council. They're more like useful idiots or allies of convenience or unknowing attack dogs. They are used when its' convenient (like against Trump and American isolationists) and reigned in when they aren't.

When I say the UN (or in an earlier post "The US government" that I meant to fix), I don't really mean just them, I mean The Establishment/Neoliberalism/Capital/The Cathedral/Globalists---everyone has a different name for it but its basically the same thing, and they aren't just anti-left or anti-right. It's not even about left or right. And I would not characterize the UN as particularly heterogeneous, but it's largely irrelevant. A large percentage of it, as well as the other globalist organizations and western liberal establishments, are mostly on the same page here.

I'm not talking about smoke filled rooms of old white men plotting to take over the world.

A primary example of why I find it hard to take you seriously.

Why do you think I care? Don't take anything seriously.

[BurtReynolds]

The pre game was cringe, but now the real show might be starting.

[BurtReynolds]

Oh wait:
