i suppose this is the type of logic that leads Syrian Partisan Girl to appear on David Duke's show.
Date: 09-25-14
Dr. David Duke today has an incredible discussion with the courageous Syrian young lady, "Syrian Partisan Girl" exposing the truth about the Zionist created Syrian conflict and the role Zionist controlled U.S. Policy in the rise of ISIS. In the first news segment Dr. Duke reports that Jewish extremist blackmail has failed against the Medical Journal Lancet, and that new barriers are being broken worldwide in the exposure of Zionist power over media, banking and politics in the West. Jewish extremists are hysterical that some of the leading medical doctors and researchers in the world are now linking to and sharing David Duke videos. Then... Syrian Girl comes on she explains the vidious campaign against her in Australia that was launched because she dared to expose the Jewish Zionist role in the Syrian crisis and the rise of ISIS, how the true interests of the world coincide with the legal government of Syria, but that governments have supported these insane rebels for one reason and one reason only, because Israel and the Zionists hate Syria because it is one of the few nations that have stood up to Israel and would not become Israel's puppet. She talks about how Syria protects the Christians and how most Muslims support the government there and how by supporting the rebels because of the Zio control over America and Europe they have facilitated the rise of ISIS. Finally it is pointed out that American involvement is not needed in Syria, it will only require being fair to the Syrian government and people... if that happens, Syrians will free their nation from the ISIS threat. But if the Government falls, the whole Middle East is likely to fall to the fanatics. Incredible show today! Spread it far and wide!

youre right, and shame on her for not going to one of the many mainstream media outlets that allow open criticism of Israel instead, such as....uhhh....ummm....
c_man posted:lol so what's the message you are trying to get to the nazis? "the US government has been corrupted by liberal ideology"? you're knocking on an open door, they're already doing their best to overthrow liberal ideology.
fascism is born of the liberal tradition and functions as a militarised expression of liberal ideology, it is not its obverse. Hope this helps

glomper_stomper posted:anyway, i was more alarmed by the fact that the initial reaction was less in defense of an argument for anti-imperialist forces and instead some sort of sheepish apology for the white nationalist platform it was delivered through. the criticisms should be levied against the first world left, and only the first world left, if it is willing to accept table scraps of publicity from the klan or any other kind of fascist scum. it's a failure among many that need to be corrected
yeah but le_syrian_partisan_girl isnt exactly a member of the first world left. but after hearing her unironically use the phrase "Cultural Marxism", i disavow all previous defenses of her actions
the klan is still an active force in my state (and superabound's, actually) and still finds an outlet for racial cleansing through their group and the police; saying they are just some civil war enthusiasts evokes the profound gravity of cynicism that bourgeois liberalism thrives on. they aren't some fucking wacky sketch comedy stereotype, they're the jackboots of a reactionary society and the most ardent beneficiaries of white supremacy. any triumph for them is a setback for the people
i dont know how it is in your state, but here in the 'Sip they (and by "they", i mean the ones who hold actual public rallies) really are just a bunch of laughable civil war enthusiasts and no one who isnt one of them takes them seriously. And other than the fact that probably 99% of all white policemen are honorary if not actual members of the KKK, the influence of the KKK is literally a drop in the bucket compared to the inherent racism of the vast swaths of everyday white Mississippians, or even a single hour of Fox News. The KKK was made obsolete by the Tea Party

1) the modern visible kkk serves state ideology by displacing the popular understanding of racism onto a bunch of obvious clowns such that everyone can disavow personal/systemic racism, because it doesn't resemble the primary racist signifier of their imaginations
2) if you think that the publicly tolerated pageantry of a bunch of vocally militant racists isn't a threatening source of dread and continuous painful reminder to people of colour of systematic state sanctioned oppression and the hate that seethes under the surface of random white people all around them in their daily lives then you must be living on the fucking moon
3) your local public kkk serves as a grooming/recruiting ground for the more radical covert groups perpetrating violent and destructive direct actions and campaigns of intimidation and terror, many of them directly financed or otherwise supported by supposedly harmless goofy racist grandpas
