    Most around me have no clue what The Great Replacement theory is but if you tell them about it they usually say, "you're gotdamn right they are!" -"Praise trump"

    Question: What if he were black?
    Answer: He would be dead.

    Amazing how these guys are always taken alive.
    Seems the take away from this to always be heavily armed and firing. Then the cops take their time and make sure they capture you alive.
    When you willing to shoot and kill....even cops....then cops respect that and treat you with kid gloves. Amirite?

    Not arguing with you but I'd point out that humans are a racist ass species. And it's certainly not getting better.

    The Great Replacement Theory. As Tucker Carlson explains in the video above and frequently recites on his show.

    Per polling nearly half of republicans are self described believers in this theory. There have been numerous pieces of propaganda published in my lifetime such as The Turner Diaries.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...ublicans-agree-with-great-replacement-theory/

    I know you guys will play dumb here but we all know that this theory isn’t new to the right.

    So it’s a simple question. Do you condemn use of the great replacement theory??

    Hypothetically if a good portion of Democratic Party leaders and their media figureheads openly pushed a theory such as.. let’s just say for example 9/11 truther theories and then for years mass shooter after mass shooter wrote manifestos spouting 9/11 truther theories I don’t think it would be too much to ask at all for the right to ask Democratic voters to condemn the use of 9/11 truther theories that are inspiring mass shooters.

    In this case forgive me for asking such a hard thing to answer, or you can just stay silent and let people just take from that what they will.

    I wouldn't say that humans are racist, definitely tribal, but what defines one tribe or another is something that is very malleable and fluid.

    The Tower of Babel is the most definitive story of our tribalism. The ability to communicate effectively is key.

    The gods or God in the Bible version of the story decided to create verbal divisions because humans were advancing too much and started to believe they were on par with the Gods so it was a classic case of divide and put these people in their place.

    However there’s a balancing act of human evolution and humility. The Bible acts as though it’s a zero sum takeaway while I think it’s more of a balancing act. Human division and self destruction can’t be the only answer to the question of why are we here??

    Closest mass shooting that's happened to me. I'm about 80 miles away. I know people that know people that shop at that store.



    This country needs a serious reckoning. It should start in the Republican party. I wish someone like Jocko Willink would take that party over and make people forget about the last 6 years.

    They don't even welcome or Process him for jail. Prob point out which rapists he should avoid in the slammer. Poor kid, would you like a cup of coffee?

    I actually don't think this is inherently racist, but rather exemplifies how easily those of limited means can be exploited into believing certain things, which triggers their natural survival instincts, and then manifests into a tragic incident.

    Racism, to me anyway, is sort of dehuminization, and an inherent belief these people are lesser than you. This looks more like a survival mechanism, to stop this "great replacement" that they have been programmed to believe is happening. The guy may have been a big time racist, but I wonder if this would have happened without all the programming.

    Its fairly easy to observe these slow radicalizations take shape, as we just have so many examples of right now, and in recent history. We can even look at some of the posters on this forum, specifically those with limited means. Take Mojoman for example, obviously not a very sophisticated individual, frequently spouts his manifesto about the North Atlantic Globalist Elites. How long will it be before he is moved to some radical action?

    These violent incidents of radicalization are bound to occur, in a limited capacity, out of natural circumstance, Tim McVeigh, etc. But we are seeing more and more frequency of this lately. How many people in jail from storming the capital, how many in Jail from acting on other conspiracy theories (Pizzagate), How many people run over in cars at peaceful rallies, and now we add more bodies to this.

    Its just disgusting. Republican propaganda has so much blood on their hands. Going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

    Fair enough. I did kinda interchange "tribal" and "racist in general"

    Did you forget about the Santa Fe shooting?

    The reckoning should start with the people themselves. Jocko isn't taking anything anywhere. He is a nut job like anyone else.
