Vivek Ramaswamy SHREDDED For Racist Comments

Chuck Todd asked Vivek Ramaswamy, in the wake of the Jacksonville shooting, what he'd do as president to combat racially-motivated violence in the country. Ramaswamy, says that the shooting is a symptom of a new form of national division that has been created and that we have obsessed so much over racial and genetic differences that we as Americans have forgotten that we are all in many respects the same given our national character and identity.
Later, CNN's Dana Bash asked Ramaswamy about his comments in response to Rep. Ayanna Pressley, who said in reference to him, "We don't need brown faces who don't want to be brown voices." Ramaswamy referred to Pressley and her remarks as being emblematic of the modern-day KKK. Ramaswamy stood by and defended his remarks.

For a man who’s adamant that he doesn’t want to politicize a national tragedy, it’s unfortunate that he’s accidentally stumbled into competing for quite possibly the most political job in the country.

[@pjbpiano]

How what you just said makes sense to you is always going to be one of the greatest things about freedom of thought.

[@StAmander]

I was going to say for a guy who’s adamant about not politicizing National tragedies, he sure is doing a good job of politicizing that trans shooting. Inb4 anyone tries to come after me with “But the MaNiFeStO! WhY iS iT NoT pUbLiC?”, I remember reading somewhere that the shooter went to that school. I could totally be wrong, but if that’s true it’s also possible they were abused there. That’s pretty likely as they wouldn’t release a manifesto that accuses people of crimes and abuse with their full names publicly. Especially when they haven’t finished their investigation. Knowing as many LGBT folks as I do, it would not surprise me if he was abused, including sexually. It seems like it’s more rare to be trans and not sexually abused/ assaulted than being trans and having such experiences. Especially since I’ve been hearing supposed Christians saying the “cure” for trans guys and lesbians is to assault them sexually for a decade now. Of course, not all Christian’s believe that but it’s not like as individual as this trans shooting. But also I clearly don’t know this for certain, I just think this is a possibility knowing what I know and seeing what I have seen.

[@pjbpiano]

@@StAmander you mean you wrote all these to propose a conjecture of what happened but you see nothing wrong with why the manifesto was not made public? Good for you. 😂

@@pjbpiano thanks for proving my point.

Since you don't know the definition of fascist here it is A fascist is a follower of a political philosophy characterized by authoritarian views and a strong central government - and no tolerance for opposing opinions The guy is advocating for not only smaller government, but also for open discussion; literally the complete opposite of a fascist.

[@Maelstromme]

@@masoncomes6783 Fascism is an amorphous ideology that can co-opt many movements and platforms. The only principle fascism has is that it has no principle. What it does often have is a sense of patriotism or revanchism taken to a certain extreme, and functions as a counter-counter cultural revolution, whatever that may be. In it's motive it is a reactionary force, but it is not always reactionary/right-wing in methods. Instead it functions more as a counterweight and counterattack to traditional forms of 'progressivism' and social change based on enlightenment principles. Fascism itself is more rooted in anti-enlightenment principles, or dark enlightenment principles- and supersedes a populist platform to serve as an alternative vent for popular discontent while in motive either not opposing the status quo, or re-imagining some previous glorious state of being that to them constitutes progress but in a way that is based on non-enlightenment principles, mainly as a power-seeking tool as well as to permanently crush leftism by essentially erasing enlightenment and post-enlightenment ideals from the cultural and intellectual zeitgeist. It's amorphous characteristics is precisely why it's so hard to define, and so dangerous.

Cultures cannot survive without those phenomenon. Racism and prejudice are partially mechanisms of preserving cultures as much as they are also used to exploit and oppress. If only Native Americans had been more racist they might have held back the Europeans for another 100 years or more just through making it so difficult to colonize their land. It’s all part of the same biological response: self preservation and fear of other in a world of limited space and resources. We should be evolved humans but also know that we can’t completely ignore what we are either since those instincts and traits exist in our dna because they make us stronger.
