Militia Plot to Kidnap Michigan Governor and Overthrow Government

[Revnak]

People often tend to confuse what the word "Liberal" means:
lib·er·al

1. open to new behavior or opinions and willing to discard traditional values.
   "they have more liberal views toward marriage and divorce than some people"
   1. • (in a political context) favoring maximum individual liberty in political and social reform.
        "a liberal democratic state"
        

Uh I mean:

Black Panther Party - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

They consider themselves far-left, and in America 'far-left' and 'liberal' are synonymous. Like conservative and far-right.

No

 

[Mister Mumbler]

Thankfully there already is an answer to "are white people allowed to call themselves 'Black Panthers'"; the White Panthers.

Why can't we just all be panthers? Why do we have to put color on everything?

 

[SilentPony]

No

I mean yes. Saying no doesn't change definitions or history.

 

[tstorm823]

Liberal and progressive are in fact synonyms.

No.
Edit:

I mean yes. Saying no doesn't change definitions or history.

No.

I admire Revnak's bravery for just staring the facts in the face and denying them with a single word.
He really exemplifies all that America stands for.

Don’t be invoking Steve Rogers in here; he deserves better than this bullshit.

You realize liberal is the name of the center-right everywhere that isn’t the modern US? And how insulted the Panthers would’ve been to be lumped in with their murderers? Christ.

Go suck on a tailpipe

No

YES.

 

[Revnak]

YES.

Devils read a single fucking thing on politics that isn’t chronically focused on the modern US I fucking beg you.

Except Black Panther's themselves often called themselves Liberals. Haven't you read transcripts?!

Except I HAVE read what Black Panther's themselves have said here. You are trying to disagree with Black Panthers about the Black Panthers.

 

[ObsidianJones]

Bro I’m just saying calling the fucking Panthers libs is insulting. Fight the state until it kills you and fifty years later they’ll give you a stamp and say you were one of the good ones.

I was making a joke. In attempts to lighten the mood. I'm not a big smilie person, so my bad.

I thought it was asinine enough to contrast my usual manner of speaking to denote levity, but it wasn't. Again, my apologies.

 

[CM156]

But I'm overreacting when I say Conservatives are getting ready to go to war. I

What was your first clue?

Huey, like Malcolm, had nothing but disdain for white liberals, but some respect for white revolutionaries.

Ah naw, it’s fine man. I was pretty sure you were joking. Just thought it’d have been rude to not reply at all.

 

[Houseman]

Okay, so who gets credit for derailing this thread? Personally, I feel it was a team effort.

I mean that's fine, but seeings how we're talking about American politics I don't see how that's relevant.

You don’t get to believe in incremental change to white supremacy and lump yourself in with the Black Panthers. Your guys helped kill them no different than Hoover. You’d be screaming about how happy we should be with Humphrey and how we gotta support him to stop Nixon, or some bullshit about the fucking Kennedy’s.
