Social Justice Cosplay!

I'm pretty sure you'll find that dressing in white, singling people out to exact senseless violence upon and using their own slang is a Conservative pastime.

Actually, they were Southern Democrats

Oh, you've misunderstood. The image was just for reference, I'm talking about the KKK *now* not the KKK decades ago.

There are less than 4000 actual klan members left in country of more than 360 million. The klan is statistically irrelevant to the point of being socially dead. They are just a few thousand pathetic losers.

Yet more nonsense that we've heard before - BUT just to emphasise your complete miss of the point, the style depicted in your meme was modelled after the very real gang The Teddy Boys who were noted for their participation in extreme violence towards minority immigrants.

Calling Dobbs' comment irrelevant is calling your own OP irrelevant. Which is it? Are we talking about the political relationship between the fictional violent gangs in the story and the ones in real life, or aren't we?

Did you get to the part where one of them gets recruited by the police to perpetuate police brutality culture in much the same way as he perpetuated youth gang culture?

I absolutely did- I am especially concerned that the next generation of dirty cops who make all the officers look bad will have a significant number of recruits who got a taste for brutality and power on the streets with ANTIFA. I also remember how, in the 21st chapter of the original version of the novel, Alex takes a government job as a sort of ambassador to young people, while going out at night to carry on on with a new gang. Eventually, he grows tired of it all, and after encountering one of his former "Droogs" and his new wife, decides to finally abandon his thuggery and, like his "Droog", pretend it never happened (kind of like all those "Weather Underground" types who managed not to be implicated in anything).

Right, so, the book very much shares the concerns of overpolicing and police recruitment practices that you see in the national protests of today.

It is not critical of them. It is in agreement with them.

The protests, yes, but not the violence. Today's legitimate protesters should also protest the violent actions being taken in their name. Tacit approval= accessory after the fact in my book.

I've heard it all before. The point is: that's not in the book nor the film. Your view is not supported by the media you chose for your meme.
