On How SJWs Rationalize Violence

[Ben]

In this thread in RT, Dogmush linked to the Monster Hunter Blog regarding how SJWs see and rationalize violence:

Sometimes we think this thought process is linked more to modern SJWs and that "old time liberals" weren't quite as nuts. I just read the below story about the woman (well, one of them because two tried this) who tried to assassinate President Ford. She was recently arrested for parole violation and was asked about what she did. Her answer:

“Am I sorry I tried? Yes and no," she said at her sentencing hearing. "Yes, because it accomplished little except to throw away the rest of my life. And, no, I’m not sorry I tried . . . because at the time it seemed a correct expression of my anger.”

It was simply "an expression of her anger" so it was all okay. Their may not have been as large of a segment of libs who thought like that in the past, but it seems they have always been there. I was a kid when Ford was President, and there was no interwebz. I don't remember great hate and protests over him, but her thought process is no different than the nuts out there today.

Squeaky Fromme was part of the Manson family.  I'd say, pretty far out there for the time.

They seem to have even greater moral conviction of their wrong beliefs than most self described religious people.

The armed right, by and large, are armed for defense of self and family.

If the right becomes too successful in instituting it’s policies I could see more extreme leftist violence breaking out.

We already know the right will passively sit there and allow the left to subvert the country with their policies. It’s been going on for decades.

Very few folks on the right think we can shoot our way out of this mess let alone want to, internet bravado aside.

The weapons of this type of warfare aren’t bombs or guns. We think we’ve done good focusing on the 2nd Amendment, and we have, but we really dropped the ball on the rest of our natural rights.

Although, this battle has been going on since before most of us were born, so it’s not entirely our fault.

Note that this was Sara Jane Moore in the article.

After her conviction, Moore expressed remorse over her actions.

“Am I sorry I tried? Yes and no," she said at her sentencing hearing. "Yes, because it accomplished little except to throw away the rest of my life. And, no, I’m not sorry I tried . . . because at the time it seemed a correct expression of my anger.”

Not much on the remorse front. Basically, "I'm sorry I got caught and sent to prison, but I'm not sorry I tried to kill the President."

Interviewed by the Today Show in 2009, Moore said “it was a time that people don’t remember. You know we had a war . . . the Vietnam War, you became, I became, immersed in it. We were saying the country needed to change. The only way it was going to change was a violent revolution. I genuinely thought that [shooting Ford] might trigger that new revolution in this country.”

I guess she had a defective calendar. By the time she tried to kill Ford (who was NOT in any way responsible for the Vietnam war), the war was over.

missed that, sorry.

No problemo - Fromme was certainly the more well-known.

Not to mention the more nutty.

Not violence (well, apparently it is to SJWs), but this whack job Tlaib:

She basically calls out a black woman as an Uncle Tom, then is "hurt" when said woman responds to the insult.

I remember that my grandmother had a doberman that she named Sara Jane. People think I use hyperbole when I say half my family were communist.

It’s easier to rationalize violence when you are consumed with hatred for the other person/group.

Yes.

Because it's just self-defense! Like that picture up there.




But seriously, that's exactly how the Germans viewed it. The Jews were oppressing everyone and needed to be eradicated to stop their control of the world.

And the undesirables that they also murdered were weakening the "race" and so also had to be destroyed out of defense of the people.

It's sick, but that's what they believed. (Or told themselves to rationalize it away.)

[makattak]

We see it in far less brutal effects today, when leftists support negative effects against white men because "They have been on top for too long!"

...

...

...

Of course, the white men who generally suffer come from the lower classes and their entire families, as far as history can trace, could never, EVER be considered "on top" and the leftists who want to "pull them down a peg" tend to be from the families, of whatever race, that were on or near the top...

But that doesn't matter. Because those white guys deserve it.

(FRIGHTENING anecdote: http://www.bainbridgereview.com/news/blakely-teacher-restricts-lego-play-to-her-girl-students-in-the-pursuit-of-gender-equity/

In Keller’s mind, it’s a fair practice “because fair is getting what you need to succeed or to get better.” Fair doesn’t have to be the same, and she says her kindergarteners get that.
At least for now.
While Keller sees more girls in the building area than before, it’s still not the norm, she said.
So the boys will just have to wait their turn.

This woman PURPOSELY handicapped boys from playing with Legos because she wanted girls to get the benefit from playing with building blocks AND NOT THE BOYS. Later on, she pretends it was only a temporary ban and that she had no intention of denying boys Legos forever because it blew up in her face. But she was happy to hinder the boys (and even gleefully JOKING about it!) in their natural development because she could make the girls better. At the expense of boys. That's SICK.)

I think one of the most hateful words is the word "fair".  Just what is fair?  Or "fairness"?  I do not believe a state of fairness exists anywhere in the galaxy.  One man's castle is another man's prison.
