Depressing Stuff from My Mom's Facebook

[_EAllusion]

In trying to find the examples in the video, I ended up tracking down the originator of at least the sharing of it.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, he is a vociferous supporter of the Bundy's and the wildlife refuge takeover in Oregon.

So, to recap, Black Lives Matters protesters deserve to be run over like animals for blocking government roads. The takeover of a federal building by armed right-wing protesters are heroes standing up to tyranny who are being unfairly mistreated and maligned.

And, to absolutely no one's surprise, he's a hardcore Donald Trump supporter.

Any information like where he is, religion, etc?

At some point the sharing of videos promoting violence could become an actionable matter. Very disturbing.

He's Christian. Here's a post in which he argues that sharing a Bible verse that prescribes death for homosexuals is the best tip of all a gay waitress could have received.

He's from Michigan.

Found another one of the clips:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgahIioxb2M

That one doesn't involve a protest at all. It's just some driver running into black people. Luckily no one was killed or seriously injured.

It turns out one of the other videos in the montage is just the same accident filmed from a different perspective.

So to show support for driving cars into protesters, the video creator opted to use random footage of someone committing a serious hit and run on black people.

I'd wager that there's a bit of a difference between ridiculous characterization of well-known and specific political figures as akin to the worst dictators in history, and posting inflammatory rhetoric about physically harming or killing any number of anonymous individuals based simply on their activities or group associations.

If a 'tit for tat' claim is going to be advanced, then the more appropriate counterpoint example to what is shown in the OP would be Facebook videos and comments inciting or encouraging people to indiscriminately run down Tea Party protesters at rallies should they insist on being in the path of your vehicle.

As usual the liberal Kevin G. LIES..... even about his mother and her friends.

Claims "racism" from people simply being angry at slime balls causing problems (a.k.a. liberals and black lives matter violent, criminals, abusers, destroyers, etc.) and praising their getting their "just deserts".

I feel for you, Kevin. There was racism in my family growing up, but nothing quite that hateful. I know I would be angry and upset if my mother wrote something like that.

During the desegregation of New Orleans' schools, there was a group of white women called 'The Cheerleaders' who used to show up to hurl the vilest and cruelest insults to the little black girls that entered the school. A lot of rage and impotence. People are building a country they don't understand and they don't know how to live in.

In 1970, Alvin Toffler wrote Future Shock, about individuals and societies trying to deal with accelerated rates of change. Back then he wrote of the trauma of going from an industrial to a super-industrial society.

Toffler argued that society is undergoing an enormous structural change, a revolution from an industrial society to a "super-industrial society". This change overwhelms people. He believed the accelerated rate of technological and social change left people disconnected and suffering from "shattering stress and disorientation"—future shocked. Toffler stated that the majority of social problems are symptoms of future shock. In his discussion of the components of such shock, he popularized the term "information overload."

He wrote those words in the cave light of the pre-information age. In 1970, Bill Gates was at Lakewood High School in Seattle, Steve Jobs was getting stoned and reading Shakespeare and Dylan Thomas. In a pre-beeper, pre-digital assistant, pre-cellphone, pre-smartphone, pre-internet-of-everything, he was talking about information overload.

And the rate of change with which we live today is incredible. People living together before marriage, women having babies out of wedlock, casual sexual hookups and pornography available to anyone on the internet. Sex and violence in entertainment are off-the-scale greater than the 50's and 60's.

And homosexuality? One of the reasons San Francisco has a large gay population is that during World War II, 1.6 million servicemen went through the city on their way to action in the Pacific Theater of War. Some of those servicemen were gay and some of those gay servicemen went to gay bars. But if you were caught in a gay bar by the military police you were give a 'Blue' discharge. Blue discharge veterans were illegally denied their benefits by the Veterans Administration, and face shame and humiliation if they went home. Many of them stayed in San Francisco and formed the core of the Castro community.

Most people had no idea Liberace was gay. Rock Hudson 'dated' starlets for the movie magazines. Back then a liberal was someone who tolerated homosexuality the way a born-again Christian tolerates a Jew.

And since that time one of the oldest taboos has gone from illegal-->tolerated-->accepted -->advocated --> equal in the eyes of God, all within the space of a few decades. I cannot imagine such a deeply held human taboo crumbling in such a short period at any other time in human history.

And I think a lot of people are experiencing a form of future shock. They see whatever paradigms they used to measure life shifting constantly. And the words 'Is nothing Sacred?' fall on increasingly deaf ears, as the concept of sacred or the concept of the past having meaning being flattened against the demands of a present so loaded with information it has no time for reflection or the past. I was struck by this recent comment from Patton Oswald:

I don’t think [the Internet]’s changed the way people act at all. I think it’s changed what we’re able to see and hear about how people react. I think that’s what it’s changing.

There’s just so much. It’s amazing when anything really does get affected. In other words, it’s almost like the outrage itself so exhausts us and the outrage very, very rarely leads to action.

Anyway, we live in an age of unprecedented and bewildering change and some people react with rages, as they see continual erosion of the constants they hold true in their lives. It's comforting to have a unifying theory about 'the other' that is responsible.

She posts ...

here is a thought - how about you stop parading your mother around solely for the purpose of promoting your own hate-filled rhetoric.
You're not even a good alcoholic anymore. Your posts about your parents are the stuff of teenage angst movies...how about checking your driver's license, verifying your age, and then sample a bit of maturity seasoned with a bit of adulthood.
You aren;t even stupid anymore...you are like a child...a brat...but still a child.

Heal thyself, KG....heal thyself.

Why don't you go back to masturbating. My mom and step dad are perfect examples of what's wrong with the Right, which is why folks like you get upset when I reveal their stupid, racist antics for the whole world to see. Somehow by exposing them, you suddenly feel a little naked too.

Really, Dr. Shades?
You leave this steaming pile of crap from ldsfaqs in this thread, as he attempts to degrade KG, but my entirely appropriate method of ignoring his crap goes to outerdarkness??

Ldsfaqs does nothing but lie, insult, degrade and attack, and he does it with the least amount of IQ possible on this planet.

If you are going to move my response, could I please request some sort of fairness in that you equivalently move every post ldsfaqs makes to outer darkness?

If you are somehow cutting him some slack due to his brain damage and/or disabilities, then just say so. Either he is a malignant sociopath or he is profoundly brain damaged. Either way, he should be treated like the potty-mouthed toddler he is--with firmness and a great relief that when the adults want to talk, we can banish him somewhere. I am empathetic to his damaged soul, but not enough to tolerate and encourage his worst self by letting it go when he is an insulting asshole.
