To be fair, while I don't think there's any possible way to spin Trump's statement as not being racist, I also don't think he was intentionally using a KKK statement.

Originally posted by Leonhard View PostYes, a link? What's this "Cultural" Marxism, and how does it differ from regular Marxism?
In classical Marxism, the workers of the world were oppressed by the ruling classes. The new theory was that everyone in society was psychologically oppressed by the institutions of Western culture. The school concluded that this new focus would need new vanguards to spur the change. The workers were not able to rise up on their own.
Critical Theory is a play on semantics. The theory was simple: .
In his book, Marcuse argued that Western culture was inherently repressive because it gave up happiness for social progresst posed the idea of sexual pleasure outside the traditional norms. Eros and Civilization would become very influential in shaping the sexual revolution of the 1960sWho would replace the working class as the new vanguards of the Marxist revolution?

One Bad Pig asked me why I considered this forum far-right, and I think he's slowly getting his answer.
Is the desire for freedom a far-right characteristic? The scale hardly means anything without definition. But the media uses 'far-right' to describe anything that doesn't conform to destructive leftist doctrine. The democrats promote unsustainable political control of healthcare and promotes excessive taxation. They are promoting unhindered migration with the apparent intent of dilution of American Constitutional protections and culture/continuity. (This continuity and culture is not anyways racist -- I say this for those who assume the contrary).
The democrats and media are polarizing the nation ... making it seem like freedom, and free speech are evil.
There are big cultural changes that conservatives wish to stop. Someone posted about free speech being seen as violence but violence against other views is seen as free speech. How can we correct this way of radical violent views? This type of radical reaction is promoted by Communists -- who seek to cause artificial divisions seeing that people in America don't have sufficient concern about the 'desired' division of rich and poor.

Does any of the above look familiar concerning our present social movements Leonhard?
I'm sorry also if my tone becomes a little cold. The last person in Scandinavia who raved a lot about Cultural Marxism and its influences decided to take it upon himself to kill over a 100 left wingers. Anders Breivik.
If you can explain to me what Cultural Marxism is, using your own words. I'll try to be neutral, and fair.
But honestly I think you've just fallen for a conspiracy theory seer.

It's only because we live in the most lunatic times in history that this can be interpreted as "racism", a word that has long lost all meaning anyway."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

Trump's comments were deliberately provocative, but they weren't racist by any stretch.
This is clearly a political statement and not a racist one.

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostThe fact you are ignorant of history and the use of the phrase "go back where they came from" does not change the facts surrounding its historical use and the implication of ut use by Trump.

I can't believe that website is new. It looks like something pulled off the internet back in the early days when you could recognize a crank by the alternating fonts, the many capitalized sentences. The typesetting alone hurts my eyes way too much to spend a lot of time on it, but I think what you're looking at is just a conspiracy theory article. It seems to be a popular conspiracy theory for far-right conservatives.

Originally posted by Darth Executor View PostI'm not really back, I just had a question to ask elsewhere and of course I would get sucked into yet another thread. It's why I left (and will depart again soon) in the first place.
We might disagree somewhat strongly on a lot of issues, but I still wish you well out there Darth Ex.

Leonhard, those quotes were accurate, this is not an unknown concept. Sure nuts can use anything to justify their violence.
