I've been asking MAGA for years now to indentify which of the organziers they consider to be a "fine person," or, failing that, just name one "fine person" on the proven rapist and hater of our troops senile Old Man Trump's side.
Not a single one has ever been identified.
You can say you were not talking about the white supremacist, but given you are defending a white supremacist gathering that had already marched on a synagogue shouting "The Jews Will Not Replace Us! the night before, who are you defending?
Robyn brings up a great question here... which actually _was_ the best season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer? I haven't watched all that much of it, but think I generally liked the earlier ones.
"They’re allowed to think we all eat babies and worship Moloch, sure — but we are under some kind of obligation to see them as inherently good people who just happen to disagree with us on a few things."
I mean, it's the same as them amping up stochastic terrorism, but the moment someone takes shots at *them*, they start demanding that we "turn the temperature down" and stop with our "violent rhetoric".
Didn't know it had a name, but very much in line with how it seems to be taken as a given that the Democrats are supposed to be the "adults in the room" but the GOP are just children who can't be held responsible for what they do.
It's so quaint that in 2017 trump actually said nazis were bad. You won't hear him say that any more. If you ask him (nobody asks him), his mouth will do that hot potato thing and he'll "pivot" to immigration.
Oooh, I'm going to say season 5 or possible 7, best season of Buffy is a hard one! Not supporting nazis or slave owners is not.
The skins with white or red laces shit pisses me off so much. Red laces go very well with black boots! Why would we let the nazis take that from us?
I imagine all the very good people in Charlotte were home with their doors bolted against that insanity Chump unleashed on them.
There's a Harris/Walz commercial. Charlottesville. Springfield. Could your city or town be next?
Some of the very good people in Charlottesville were out on the streets counterprotesting. One of them got beaten unconscious and another was killed.
Ta, Robyn. The only "very fine people" were Heather and her friends.
The Charlottesville "protest" was organized by white supremist. Here is the list of the oranizers:
This is the list of the organizers:
• Richard Spencer
• Mike Enoch
• Jason Kessler
• Baked Alaska
• Augustus Invictus
• Christopher Cantwell
• Matt Hemibranch
• Johnny Monoxide
• Pax Dickinson
• Dr. Michael Hill
If you look up their posters, they are filled with Nazi symbols:

Absolutely positively fucking well said.
“Buffy the Vampire Slayer” (which lasted for three years longer than the Confederacy).
And about three years longer than it should have.

As an SO to a dedicated Buffy-watcher, that is an assertion I would not raise lest it Cause Great Strife.
(Though I agree with it on some level)

I maintain that after season four, it gets progressively unwatchable.
It gets increasingly byzantine and overwrought, imo.
Tolerance isn't just a paradox, it's also a contract.
The folks calling for erasure and genocide don't get to turn around and whine for tolerance when it benefits them, and no other time.
We had tolerance.
You called it "political correctness", and got rid of it.
Didn't Leon throw 44 billion in to a hole so he could be the one that gets to say who are the "fine people"? It would just be rude to argue with him.

Her name was Heather Heyer.

"But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists."

There's a saying to the effect of, if you have one person sitting at a table with 11 Nazis, what you actually have is 12 Nazis.
If there is one Nazi in the bar it’s a Nazi bar, as they say.
Shit, I used to have red laces on my hiking boots because I liked the contrast in pictures with the green...did not think of "Skinheads"....
Red laces on hiking boots is traditional. On Doc Martins? Skinhead.
