Current Affairs London Protests

i posted this the other day about the authoritarian personality. it is something we are seeing platformed a lot these days when previously they were ridiculed. maybe some of u may recognize some of these traits buddies.


The Authoritarian Personality Type
According to Adorno's theory, the elements of the Authoritarian personality type are:

• Blind allegiance to conventional beliefs about right and wrong
• Respect for submission to acknowledged authority
• Belief in aggression toward those who do not subscribe to conventional thinking, or who are different
• A negative view of people in general - i.e. the belief that people would all lie, cheat or steal if given the opportunity
• A need for strong leadership which displays uncompromising power
• A belief in simple answers and polemics - i.e. The media controls us all or The source of all our problems is the loss of morals these days.
• Resistance to creative, dangerous ideas. A black and white worldview.
• A tendency to project one's own feelings of inadequacy, rage and fear onto a scapegoated group
• A preoccupation with violence and sex

Or "Davek" for short.

mr @davek is certainly not this personality type.

The minority of scum causing trouble and damage / inciting riots need a firm hand and the police have shown they have been neutered by the government / social media brigade into doing nothing and a number of officers have also been hurt as were horses.

Get the army in and see if the thugs still think they are hard faced up against real men.

Why? What’s so terrifying about the Army?

Would you bring back the Black and Tans to enforce punishment on young kids expressing their freedom of speech?

Do you not think riding large horses at full gallop in to crowds of protesters is a bit firm handed?

If a term is felt to be racist by the recipient then it's correct that it's then not used but it is confusing when people use the term "Yid" or how black people use the "N" word about themselves. It does muddy the waters.

Years ago when in Australia I learned it's the same there to not use the old often used abbreviation for Aboriginal people.

Somebody get Heinrich Himmler out of here lol

That’s absolutely ridiculous, surely you can understand the distinction between a white person calling someone the N word and it being said between black people

 

[Bishop Thumpety-Thump]

But there is a difference between some uneducated bloke being racist and a country/society that actively goes out of its way to prevent minorities from living a happy life.

I haven't a problem with BAME telling their kids to watch out for far right idiots - but I have a problem with them telling them that they'll never get a job, succeed or achieve anything because the country is racist.

The former prepares them for encountering uneducated scumbags

The latter creates a self fulfilling prophecy which dooms alot of working class BAME to falling down the cracks.

The issue alongside poverty in working class white & black children is that they dont value education because they dont believe they are clever/good enough.

Im thick as mince but I put the hard work in and got my qualifications whereas a good few mates of mine who grew up on my council estate (both white and black) never took education seriously and since school have been unemployed/agency work and one or two has been in and out of prison for drug offences.

I just think in society we look for excuses for why people struggle - Sol Campbell cant get a Premier league managers job - but Chris Hughton and Darren Moore can so is it racism or is it just he wasnt good enough in the interview process?

People are saying it's harder to get a job,not never get a job. Important distinction to make here.

Hallo Herr C.B.
As I said, it "Muddy's the Waters."
It's hard to understand.

The guns, largely.

You keep returning to this point, what is your basis for saying it?

The BLM protests didn't promote violence, they didn't tell people to attack the police or loot. The local promoters and those, such as university groups have but stayed silent and neither have other prominent figures within the black community

I keep coming back to it as I believe it is important if the people of this country are going to get behind the cause in a big way. You can see yourself from the posts in this thread that there are many people who fully support the cause, many more who agree with the cause but are understandably concerned about the violence and vandalism, and there are a small number who seem to oppose the cause.

My view, and what I'm trying to put across to you as simply as I possibly can, is that those people in the middle section will want to see the violence condemned. The people who perpetrated these acts, have seemingly done so in the name of the movement, irrespective of whether they were the minority or whether there actions were welcome are not. That is the truth of the matter, as you once pointed out to me when Tommy Robinson and his mates attached themselves to pro Brexit demonstrations. Following on from there people will want to see the violence denounced, and in the absence of that many will believe those actions have been condoned.

So if they want more support for the movement, they need to make their views on the violence clear. It's their choice. At the moment I haven't seen that clarity but feel free to post links to show me I'm wrong.

You may disagree with the above which is fine, it's just my opinion. But whilst I sympathise with the BLM message, I'm not going to get fully behind the movement in this country until they come out and distance themselves from the violence and vandalism.

The part of your post highlighted makes no sense to me. I don't know what point you are trying to make.

Black people have coopted the word to subvert the negative connotations of the words and for empowerment.
A black person using the word and anyone else using the word is hugely different. There is context and history.
It’s not that hard to understand and appreciate the difference.

But for some people it obviously is because when some Spurs fans use the term "Yid" many opposing supporters have complained that they are classed as being racist.
