It will get worse, but I believe those of us who don't kneel to the altars of extremism, can help to make it better. That is what I hope.

[@knightshade2654]

Philip, you are an inspiration to me. You say the news as it is, and I love that.

This is why there should be one political party centered around waffles

Isn't it ironic that a group of Americans are claiming they want racial purity, yet the American race is a huge mix of different nationalities and so they themselves aren't "racially pure"

[@Vraptor1]

Social Awkwardness And they were immigrants since their country was founded?

[@Likeicare96]

To those asking what's the difference between saying "white lives matter" and "black live matter" BLM was a movement that started to call attention to police shooting in America. It's not saying black lives matter more (it's not even saying the matter the same technically), it's just saying they matter and society was ignoring them and disenfranchising them. When it was coined, it has implied "too" at the end if that makes it easier to understand. As for the white lives matter. That only started as a way to take away from the BLM movement. Yes white lives matter, but that was never up for debate. It's effectively the same as me giving candy to one kid and not the other, the second kid is like "hey, can I want candy too" and I go on about "everyone needs candy, you don't need candy more than the first kid..." but never give them something as well. That being said, the statement "white lives matter" is not racist. Now for Charlottesville. They were saying "white lives matter" and promoting nazi iconography. Nazis are known for white supremacy, it's kind of their thing. They would say things like "taking our rights back" (from where? You never lost them. Someone getting rights doesn't strip you of yours. Rights are not in limited quantity). This all implies they weren't saying white lives matter too (as with BLM) but instead saying white lives matter MORE, their rights are more important than everyone's. This is their land and it's being "invaded". All those connotations is what makes theirs racist.

You can "run" when you want to move quickly. You can "walk" when you want to move more slowly. It's called "jogging" if you want a speed slower than "running" but faster than "walking."

[@cassini4751]

Thomas South This report was painfully wrong

[@huiticus]

Subscribed simply because Philip is one of the least biased people in the public eye. He may be the slightest tiniest bit left but frankly he's quite logical and tends to examine things in a very well processed manner.

[@MariaThePotterNut]

He has his opinions for sure, but he always presents the facts, all of the ones he can find, as clearly and as well as he can, and then he gives his opinion and makes sure it's clear that it's his opinion. I may not always agree with him, but I know I can always trust him to give the facts and the true story.

[@AximVidya]

Why? Did OP say that Philip is not biased at all? No? Then what's your point? Unless you're trying to argue that there aren't in fact different degrees of bias, and that everyone is just as biased as the next person, you're arguing with a strawman, not the opinion OP actually holds.

[@TheHigherVoltage]

I tend to think he's slightly leaning left because he's quite logical and tends to examine things in a very well processed manner.

[@coolflame0]

He mentions LWC a lot... so I think he leans more right than left, but still centrist, and by the wording of your statement, are you insinuating that in order to have logical thought and process information, one must lean left?

[@thelastword4616]

You can tell how fucked up the left is, they are always saying he is alt-right. lol stupid cucks. If you're not a demented libtard the left hates you.

[@nickclark1815]

Why can't we just all get along? Race, opinions, money, power, pretty much anything leads to conflict, which in turn leads to death, it saddens me how torn apart everyone is.

[@TheMegaman0]

juan castellanos Don't group all whites together. That's the same collectivist shit that is pushing white people against everyone. Calling us all racist just due to our ancestors fuck ups or calling for our deaths are reasons white people are getting angry. I don't support the kkk, white supremacists or Nazis. Who if not for identity politics wouldn't have gained more members who were tired of anti white bullshit.

[@Twrlare]

Because there are people who don't like other people who think different than them.

[@stevenflores7405]

juan castellanos I think your missing the point.

[@tiffanysimkins1301]

This is disgusting to watch. But it's also sick to look at comments and see that people are diving us into groups, saying that it's the left's fault, or the right's fault. We have to come together, we can't be hateful towards people who believe the same beliefs as us. Political parties have become such a big part of us, that it paints the entire picture of someone from the moment you meet them. Not one liberal thinks the same as the other liberal, same with conservatives. We are all individuals! We can't be put into groups, that's not going to solve anything. Stop saying it's the other parties fault, the white peoples fault, the black peoples fault, Trump's fault. It's literally the Neo-Nazi, KKK members, and the white supremacists fault. Blame them. They're the ones causing the uproar and the mess.

[@wassupdawg1977]

I mean, i hate neo Nazis as much as the next guy, but isn't this anti-fa's fault primarily? I know this is stated a lot just in this comment section but this was a legitimate protest with official papers etc designating it as such, as far as i know anyway. Their views may be vile but they have every right to say them and the original protest was set up in a legitimate way so they had every right to be there. No violence would have occurred if Anti-fa didn't come to disrupt the protest surely? I mean, its pretty symbolic that the Nazi's, alt right and free speech people are usually the ones armed with shields to defend themselves while anti-fa have projectiles to instigate. And its happened time and time again, so you can't even argue that by bringing their shields and weapons the original protesters were looking for the fight, as recently a fight with anti-fa has been inevitable at right wing events of all kinds. I'm sorry, i know you started out your post saying not to lay blame based on group affiliation and differing opinion, but you then blame the wrong group probably because they have the more obviously vile opinion.

[@samcombs9121]

+Wassup Dawg No. They organizers showed up intending to be violent. They brought automatic weapons, armor and shields. These same people actually still want genocide. GENOCIDE IS A BAD THING AND ANYONE WHO INTENDS TO DO IT SHOULD BE STOPPED YOU FUCKING SHEEP. THEY ARE ON CAMERA SAYING THEY INTEND TO KILL MORE THAN JUST THAT WOMAN, AND THAT IT IS GOOD SHE WAS MURDERED. Nazi philosophy = genocide good. Stop justifying Nazis. Period.

[@samcombs9121]

Don't mace a Nazi though, or they'll use that as an excuse for actual vehicular assault and second degree murder.

[@samcombs9121]

And dipshits like this guy will defend them.

[@wassupdawg1977]

Yeah, and antifa came up to instigate a fight. For the last year, any right-wing event has been attacked by Anti-fa. At the start anti-fa were just beating on random people attending a lecture. As time progressed, more and more people on the right started bringing armor and helmets and shields and weapons to defend themselves. Most of those events had minor nazi presence as surprise surprise those with views people will suppress first will always congregate to the events proclaiming free speech, but that doesnt mean the other nazis are blind to what happens there. So when an event with a larger than usual neo-nazi presence (A group that are usually incredibly militant) gets attacked by anti-fa they will have more militant weapons. They bring this stuff to defend themselves because at this point it is provable that a well advertised right wing event will inevitably lead to a fight with anti fa who will be throwing cement filled bottles, bottles of piss, bats with nails, mini explosives and other thuggish weapons. To not bring things to defend yourself with would be to decide to be a sitting duck. The nazis views are retarded and evil, and yet they are the group who had legitimacy to their protest. Magically when anti-fa attacks an actual event where militant extremists are present and not some milo event, the reaction will be militant and extreme. If they didn't have anti-fa instigate the attack, they would have had nothing to attack back against. They would have had some vile people say some vile lectures, drank a few beers and gone home.

I think the statues should be removed from public areas and put into museums. It's a part of history but inside the museums it will be a choice to view and learn from the past.

[@majesticchinchilla8692]

ChickenNugglet I agree.

[@jinjagaming1719]

Perhaps one of the reasons a very large segment of rational people in this country don't get involved in events like this is because it's very unlikely that you will reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into. Emotion fuels emotion and has a tendency to cloud logic. A protest is beyond the point of logical discussion. At the point of a protest, the teams have been chosen and the lines drawn. At the point of a protest, it's already a failure.

[@sarahmoore0405]

JINJAgaming well said!

[@demisor9701]

Emotion fuels emotion?

[@jinjagaming1719]

ᴅᴀᴍᴀʀɪ yes, what I mean by that is that emotional discourse tends to breed emotional responses. Where as intellectually based discourse challenges the opponent to respond with well thought out reasoning.

[@aR0ttenBANANA]

You're completely right. Even if one of the sides objectively holds some high-ground, once the partisanship starts, there is no discussion to be had anymore because no one will budge out of their comfort zone.

As a conservative I am embarassed to be on the "same side" as the people at Charlottesville. I condemn everything that happened there, and want to make it perfectly clear that they are a small minority that are not supported by the majority of our "side." That said there are people on the left that do similar things, but I don't see the majority of liberals condemning their actions. During the riots in Ferguson even after the "hands up don't shoot" narrative was proven false many many people still ran with it, and the President at the time did not condemn the actions (as far as I recall, if he did feel free to correct me) of the perpetrators that burned down 25 businesses, 2 police cars, and a dozen civilian cars just in one lot. To a smaller scale there were the riots in Berkeley when Milo was set to speak there that caused $100,000 in damages. Again, I don't remember any prominent figures on the left condemning those actions. Now, that said we need to be fair. If you're on the right and don't condemn the acts in Charlottesville, you don't have the right to demand the left to condemn the actions of their supporters during the riots they've had. But I know the prominent figures on the right have condemned Charlottesville. I don't believe the left condemned the actions in Baltimore, Ferguson, Berkeley, or any other riots from their side.

As a Charlottesville resident, it was heartbreaking to watch these things happen in my little town. I saw the footage of the car thing and people with guns in places that have held so many happy memories. I feel like we should be better than this. I saw things like Nazis in the park where we hold our annual pride festival and I wonder what the hell is happening to this country and my hometown.

[@oldoldmeidanrrustemi8458]

Mrgone454 kek edgy

[@ScarfeeEdits]

What I am genuinely scared of is that people get so involved in choosing sides and so consumed with the fear of being condemned as "unloyal", the things get so radical so fast that it spins out of control. During events like this, the outrage just deafens people. The world becomes black and white (not in terms of skin color, but in terms of contrast). People lose sight of gray areas completely, and it becomes impossible to reason with anyone. What we should train ourselves to do is keep a level head, look at the situation reasonably and not let ourselves get dragged down into an emotional madness, whatever side you're on. No matter how much things outrage you... if you lose your temper it will only get worse, nothing right can come out of that.

[@hueyc.4570]

Petr Lizunov What gray area? We have veterans who killed nazis back then

[@TheEcho675]

[@travisdurrans8866]

I completely agree. Political views should not incite violence. I personally think that all who were a part of the white nationalist protest with the intent of establishing white dominance over other ethnic groups are detestable, but the people from ANTIFA who attacked them were just as much in the wrong. It's never okay to use violence; it is morally wrong. It is especially bad because it causes polarization between one another. Some people on the left choose to only see that white supremacists killed an innocent woman in a riot. Some people on the right choose to only see that ANTIFA came and attacked people who until their arrival were peacefully protesting. Both sides are at fault, these violent actions will only cause people sitting on the fence to pick a side and join the fight, leading to more violence. Regardless of your political views, protests should be peaceful, and those who act in violence in behalf of their race, creed, or ethnicity should be seen as evil, by all sides.

we're singing a song in my school choir that i feel is relevant in these rough and trying times. it says "i believe in the sun, even when it is not shining. i believe in love, even when i feel it not. i believe in God, even when He is silent." the "sun" is interpreted as a symbol for hope. though things look dim, we must keep our heads high and our faith strong.

[@nabilk8574]

But always remember to get news from multiple sources, even when this seems to be the best one.

[@Myzzzy]

Especially when even Phillip fumbled a bit of information in this episode. The story about the Charlottesville incident was a bit mis-represented in the group the dude was part of. He wasn't actually a part of Vanguard, and that was said by the Vanguard themselves. Not that I agree with their ideals, but it's just a point of how multiple sources show the full story and how minor details are often jumbled up and lost in a single source.

[@GillyDavis]

You said far more eloquently what I have been saying since before this incident happened. The violence must stop and that's violence on all sides. The constant propagation of hate, vandalism and violence is not, can not and never will solve the problems we have, it only makes matters worse and even creating problems were there weren't ones before.

The only thing that stops a riot is an overwhelming police presence at the scene. We've seen this enough times to know what happens when these two groups meet.

[@Rickuo]

The police has a "stand down" order from the major himself. Nothing new. Maybe the major of Charlottesville is also a fan of ANTIFA.

[@callofdutyfreak10123]

Zandman26 yeah, that's incredibly stupid. Not only would it set an extremely dangerous precedent, it would also turn the people who died in the protests into martyrs.

[@Zandman26]

Martyrs are born when they are fighting for the peoples will. If it's only a bunch of people looking for trouble and fighting each other over something silly like a statue I don't think that would even be given a second of attention.

Im curious.... if hate is a learned emotion, then how did it ever come into existence?

[@DamnPhe]

Hate would originally come from fear of things which cause harm or we do not understand (so a lack of knowledge) and the unknown, nowadays hate come more from disagreements and different opinions it seems and is taught by parents or friends for you model your behaviour after them subconsciously or not

I think the quote is expressing the intense and radical hate that is something like racism. It is human nature to get angry and to dislike others, but deep-seeded hate like racism and prejudice is learned from the actions of those around us.

This whole protest in Charlottesville makes me so angry. There is a line between freedom of speech and racism/bigotry/terrorism.

I have to wonder, had the counter protesters not shown up, would the situation have escalated the way it did? A better question might be, would there have even been a situation, had these peoples rights been respected the way others ask their rights to be? I don't condone or share their beliefs. But its their right to have them just as it is everyone else's. These groups have been known to actually have peaceful protests in the past. They are not the kind to use Protests as a veil to go commit random acts of violence like; breaking into liquor stores, setting gas stations on fire, and calling for the mass killing of Police Officers. What I am asking is what no one else seems to be. Which side carries the responsibility of having provoked the violence that caused the deaths of three innocent people? Probably the same side, that took it upon themselves,to tear down the statue, even after it had been announced that it would be removed.

[@ianb8299]

This is just horrible how people like this are even in this world still. We have no room in this beautiful country of ours for that much hate. Men and women in our country fight to defend us and all these people can do is kill, attack, and maim one another in the worst that our world had offered in the past and now they bring it back. Why? Just why?

[@gertiebert]

You have put across this story in a very clear way without hiding from open facts from all parties. You talked about everyone needing the realisation of unity and respect. However, in the comments people are still blaming each other. Is this humanity or will this ever change? It saddens me but my faith upon universal (or the majority of) human acceptance actually happening ever is dwindling. History is repeating itself over and over and we are more in the shit every time.

I know how you feel. Personally I´m putting all my faith in the internet and the free flow of information to ease these tensions.

[@Humstuck]

People generally don't think about anyone but themselves. Most of us (myself included) will say they care about famine, poverty or whatever but in actual real life (not what we think should happen) most of us don't have or don't take the time to realy care about anything more then our immediate circles (family and friends). So that means everyone agrees with themselves in those circles and nothing realy changes. We only think about having enough money to get this or that. Which means we need to work more. When you work more you have less time and all that loop keeps happening. Very few people are capable of doing the right thing on a regular basis. Talking is the key but when you can't talk to people of different walks of life ... you get stuck in your ways unless you actively try not to.

[@An-mg1nt]

I am extremely saddened and angry at all of these bigoted individuals for their desecration of Robert E Lee and their misguided support of him. First off, let's be clear that Robert E Lee, while the general for the Confederate army, was in fact in agreement with Northern values and beliefs which is why he wished for the Union to stay intact and was offered a position by Abe Lincoln himself to take charge of the Union army. Lee obviously turned this down as he didn't wish to fight against his home state and was drawn in to serve as the Souths general. Robert E Lee was a wonderfully brilliant military tactician who sought to ease tensions before the Civil War and during Reconstruction. It's a shame he won't be remembered as such but instead as a martyr to be used by white supremacists and disgusting Neo Nazis to further their own agenda.

[@ellaphantom9980]

Sadaharu a lot of people don't know this about history. When I first heard that this protest/riot started because of the Robert E Lee statue my first thought was "but he agreed with the northerners?????" I understand that people think he's guilty by association or is a reminder of a dark era in american history but people really need to educate themselves before they start spewing discomtempt. White nationalists, neo-nazis, and white supremacists also shouldn't claim him as part of their cause because I don't think if he were alive today would stand for that kind of hatred.

[@marieverdi4063]

Whenever stories like this happen, I don't even get furious like I used to. It just feels...numb. Like all this fighting and everything? We're probably going to end up destroying ourselves. No one else needed. If anything we're becoming the same as animals or even worse. There's no humanity, no compassion, NOTHING. When you see people celebrating the death of someone, when you see people willing to use rampant violence and try to justify themselves? Our empathy and humanity is draining away.

[@TheMimiSard]

Because the most annoying thing for me personally is those statements saying "it's all white people" that is so annoying because the majority of white people are rational people and should not be compared with neo-nazis, white supremacists or the KKK, the reason I believe we have this big uprising in alt-right movements is because of this idiotic mentality of "all white people are [insert type of discrimination].

The biggest issue was the police were told to stand down during the entire incident.

[@Emogeta]

The thing is that these people do have legitimate grievances but the issue is they too are being ostracized by people for their sex or colour of their skin. What we can do to help alleviate the tension these people have is to discuss, debate, and chat with them. I'm a coloured person and what do I do when I meet a racist person? I show them kindness and try to get them to understand that I am no different than they are. Try to find out why they hold these views and try to prove them wrong. If you choose to be mean and violent towards them all you will do is make them believe any preconceived notions they have to be correct. Fighting violence with violence and hate with hate will always lead to the same fate. There is a saying that we should try to bring back, "Kill your enemies with kindness."

[@AzureWanderer55]

+Black Ribbon That's the thing. Not enough people nowadays don't even want to talk about why this stuff happens. The only way to find a solution is to find out why they think this way then to convince them otherwise by having civil and open discussions.

[@Emogeta]

It seems to be that way as many would much rather just bring up the past in order to end the discussion and claim themselves correct. Many say that there is no room to discuss or chat with Nazi's simply for those killed during WWII. Though, I am sure these people are perfectly fine chatting or being near a Japanese person despite the fact the Japanese attempted a genocide of their own that took more lives than the Nazi's did.

The fact you have to tread on egg shells when condemning violence against an individual speaks volumes.

[@lanceballantine990]

I was really hoping that my generation wouldn't be the ones who threw the world into chaos but it seems that we are heading that way. I consider myself in the middle not left or right, and It almost feels like there is less and less wiggle room with more and more people going to the far right or far left. we need open discourse but I don't see that happening. I think a lot of people have already made their minds up. The left can justify violence because the right is violent and the right can justify violence because the left is violent. and all of us who say no one is justified get set aside because you cant beat the group mentality that has been instilled on each side.
