The Soviet Communists did this to themselves too in the 20s and 30s once they had defeated the "Whites". All in the name of ideological purity. It will only get worse. Denouncements. Political violence. Ostracism. Death. It will be interesting to see how this progresses. The stuff I read about college campuses is chilling. The lack of respect for free speech is especially quite troubling. Having read so much European history, I know where this can go and I do wonder if the extreme ideological militants have read their history too. Or even care if they have.

Don't they need to actually win first? Eating your allies for ideological purity reasons is part of a logical progression that sort of makes sense if you cross your eyes and squint while you consider it, and has historical examples as you point out.

Doing it while the other side has control over all three branches of government and most of the state governments is nuts. More baffling still is the appearance that the driving forces behind the auto-cannibalism appear to originate in the university system. (Maybe not, considering how thoroughly the Left controls the universities, now) One of the things I assume about college students and professors is that they are smart. My belief in that is getting shakier by the day.

Perhaps the problem is the fetishization of intelligence over wisdom. Maybe they are smart, but just incredibly unwise.

Hollywood has the best moral compass, because it has compassion.

The funny thing about violence is you can't control it. Tom - 14/06/2017 04:31:35 PM 1241 Views
So you thought that would scare me Tom? Roland00 - 14/06/2017 09:30:34 PM 1202 Views
The aim was not to scare anyone. It was to show that violence is not controllable. Tom - 15/06/2017 04:24:12 AM 1209 Views

I think the gunman has more in common with people who beat their wives than Bernie Sanders Roland00 - 14/06/2017 09:08:54 PM 1118 Views
Do we know conclusively Bernie doesn't beat his wife? *NM* Tom - 15/06/2017 04:24:54 AM 648 Views

Obviously excessive hyperbole is a problem from both sides damookster - 14/06/2017 07:20:59 PM 1189 Views

That's not correct. Tom - 15/06/2017 04:19:06 AM 1228 Views
