If all-American Superman saw Nike on fire today... side note: did you know Superman wears Trump pajamas? It’s true!!

Conservatives. I'm gonna ruin Superman for you.

Superman is a socialist.

He helps everyone equally. Anyone who needs his help gets it, no questions asked. He actively encourages everyone to be like him: help those in need no matter what. He doesn't charge for his service.

Here's an official PSA from the 50's staring Superman!

Good one. And a reminder that it was the conservatives who made the phrase "social justice" into a begative.

Yeah. You need to re-evaluate your life if you're using "social justice" as a pejorative.

LOL

"SJW" is meme created by the alt-reich, that conflates broad swaths of dissimilar people, who often disagree with one another - and casts them as a monolith. Like much of rightwing orthodoxy - it is a best a gross oversimplification of a complex phenomenon, and at worst, a deliberate lie.

Muh alt-reich.

...says the person who just used the omnibus term "alt-right" - WITH an additional derogatory perversion :::::::::::::::-/

But the key difference - is that many of today's closet-fascists, neo-nazis and neo-nativists (Ultra Nationalists and "white nationalists")will self-identify as being part of the "alt-right" - and they do seem to tolerate each other fairly well, at least at events like Charlottesville's 'Unite the Reich' rally. All I did was correct their spelling.

By contrast - I don't know many, socialists, communists, anarchists, or Democrats - who identify as "SJW's". And in my experience - getting any of those folks to stop fighting amongst themselves, long enough get anything done - is a tall order. I suppose that some of the "Antifa" protests are the closest that they come to doing so... But even then - it's a bit like herding cats...

Holy LOL

Which is my original point - your term puts all of your opposition into one tiny basket - that they don't eall really fit into - and certainly wouldn't inhabit with each other peacefully. You act as if they're a monolith - and yet they almost never can set aside their differences. And they certainly don't all agree on what constitutes social justice.

My point being however that that brush is used to tar anyone who doesn't fit into the demopublicans or the far left, which is wrong. I lean libertarian, I subscribe to things dismissed as "conspiracies," and many idiot pundits would dismiss me as that - and yet I'm among the most antiracist people you'll ever run into, and I am NOT the minority of that label. The original Tea Party movement was extremely wide-ranging and inclusive, but it's much more politically convenient to distort the reality.

As for the Charlottesville, CNN shamelessly distorted - speaking as one who did not vote for him - what he said about many good people opposing the tearing down of statues into something he did NOT say, which was that many good people were in the racist organization. Did they apologize and rectify their mistake? Hell no. I now hold CNN in nothing but contempt, as they deserve.

Paradoxically, the "alt left" and "alt right" actually have far more in common than they realize. But it's in the interest of the corrupt establishment to divide and conquer and try damned hard to keep people from opening their eyes to this.

So based on your historical recollection of the Tea Party... I'm going to say that your interpretation of Charlottesville...is also relying upon "Alt Facts" . For the Record I never watch CNN - and that's not whom I'm relying upon, for my memory or recollection of that weekend..

Since you responded to what I didn't say, I don't think you even managed to grasp my answer. Go back and read it again, except this time try to think about what I said.

I've heard the quote - in context. He said that there were good people on both sides. Defending monuments to the Confederacy - erected as part of a resurgence of the Klan - around the early part of last Century - doesn't make you a "good people".

I'm glad you're not a racist. But distorting reality to minimize and downplay racism - is a poor way to show that. The Tea Party was funded by the Koch Brothers. It had a deep strain of racism cooked into it - as with the "Birther" movement. They were part of the same racist reaction - to America's first half-Cheney President, a moderate Republican - who adopted the Heritage Foundation's model for healthcare.

Don't feel bad. There are plenty of well-intended racists who call themselves Democrats as well. I call them on their racism when I see it. But strong reaction of denial - minus any real attempt at introspection - or a good understanding of racism - is pretty typical.

Reply to 1redshoe's "I've heard the quote" reply:

I've already addressed the statues thing enough to not need to reply.

The birthers are racists claim is just as untrue, that was the spin Dems disingenuously put on it. The fact is that it was based on belief in evidence - NOT racism. For example, by your bogus logic, I'm in fact a "racist" after all simply because I believed there were serious unanswered questions. There were relatives in Kenya who testified that he was born there. There was a hell of a lot of - insufficiently - destroyed evidence from his years at Colombia where he represented having been born in Kenya, though some of it survived. And there's more.

The stupid thing on the Dems' part of course is, I believe, that it's ALSO legally irrelevant anyway, because the legal definition of natural born that was on the books STILL gave him citizenship through his mother, same as it did for McCain born in Panama. The soil argument is in my view illegitimate in both directions, either against legals or for illegals.

Yet I voted for Obama twice. Damned strange for a "racist" to do. Gosh, I guess my "denial" must be pretty extreme.

And sorry to say, this is the grade of thought that pushed me out of the Democratic party into independence.

Ain't goin' back.

*yawn*

Those are conservatives - who openly declare their allegiances... That wasn't something that I put on them.

But why would you confuse my words - like "Alt-Reich" - with your word - "conservatives"? It seems that you can't help but react with denial and lash-out with ad hominem advective - when I've hit so close to the mark...

Lol you're funny.

*negative*
dang fingers anyway

You realize Superman isn't real, right?

...and some good people...

Do you know how many alternate-universe shifts DC has made to keep up with their constantly evolving fictional plots?

I was a Superman fan, but strangely I don't look to the comics for my political wisdom, I formulate it myself.

Superman entered the US illegally.

Which is why he must go.

But he got legalized afterword.

Long form birth certificate?

He got legal citizenship for every country on Earth.

Nice gig if you can pull it off.

You'd think a reporter would at least report on the fire.

real men and superman himself all know that liberalism is a serious mental disorder .

I'm saying Trump Supporters would burn down their own houses to watch their liberal neighbor choke on the smoke.

We're assuming it's all shoes and t'shirts.

The workers are in sweathouses in Asia.

That makes it better... how exactly?

uh...the fact they're not in the flaming building choking on smoke? I was just pointing out what others have too, that Nike cares a lot about symbols and perception rather than biting the bullet themselves.

Yeah, I suppose I was looking into it way too far
