Michael R authored the first of three Comments of the Day on this disturbing video, and I could easily add a few more: it was a terrific thread, and one that few other sites around the web could produce (if I do say so myself).
I must admit, as I have been featuring posts about my biases of late, that I have a massive bias against anyone who behaves like the woman above no matter what the provocation. It was suggested in the comments to the original post that this was staged. I considered that, and maybe it was, but in the end the ethics issues remain the same. Her conduct is still an accurate presentation of the reaction of the entire Woke World mob to one imagined offense after another, from Donald Trump’s election and Hillary’s defeat, to the replacement of swing vote Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court with Bret Kavanaugh, to the long-deserved reversal of Roe v. Wade and the rejection of affirmative action as the unconstitutional discrimination it always was. It is all hate, intolerance and emotional fury now, even from the office that is supposed to represent and serve us all….
That was as close to a Presidential primal scream as we are ever likely to hear. (Nope, I’m not letting that go. I will never let that go, and I will never forgive it.)
Here is Michael R’s Comment of the Day on the post, “Perplexed Ethics Thoughts On This Video…”
***
This seems like the perfectly reasonable result of college campus culture from the last 30 years now demanding that society become a college campus. How many videos can you find of conservative speakers being shouted down by the dominant culture (the ‘tolerant people’) on college campuses? In how many cases was this tolerated by the administration, the police, the government?
After being trained by ‘higher education’ for decades that the way to deal with opinions that differ from the official orthodoxy is to shout them down, use bullhorns, and scream at them, why would you expect this not to happen?
This isn’t the only video of a woman doing this; it seems fairly common.
Here is how I see liberals dealing with heretical ideas in today’s society:
(1) Call the police on them. You can see people call police on people expressing opposing ideas at a rally, or on a college campus.
(2) Take their property (signs, etc) and destroy them. How many anti-abortion groups have had their posters, signs, etc stolen and destroyed. How many Trump signs were stolen during an election versus Hillary or Biden signs?
(3) If confronted with inconvenient facts, say “You will need to show me that and give me time to research it”, while they expect their ‘facts’ such as “they are killing people”, “Trump is a racist”, “this will result in children killing themselves” are expected to be taken as gospel truth.
(4) Shout them down an scream at them. Claim the ideas are making them ‘unsafe’.
(5) Physically attack them and then call police if the people try to defend themselves.
How do you deal with people like that? You can’t, they are unreasonable. They cannot be reasoned with.
Ethics Alarms 
Ethics train wreck choose your own adventure conspiracy material? Biden stays in Israel as a martyr…
(1) This drags us into war in the middle east again, with fun lasers and stealthy fighters that we loose because of their stealth.
(2) Republicans give thanks and move on because they don’t want to know that the Dem deep state risked Biden to get rid of him.
(3) Democrats give thanks and move on because they have a martyr on whose behalf the next Dem candidate runs, and the loony left thinks that kind of violence against stronger sovereign nations is ok.
Wrong post for comment.
Wrong post for reply.
Actually, Amy Comey Barrett replaced Ginsburg. Brett Kavanaugh replaced Justice Anthony Kennedy, who the left is still pissed off at for retiring when he did, opening the door for Trump to put a second Justice on the court. As far as the left is concerned, Justice Gorsuch occupies a stolen seat, stolen because Mitch McConnell would not allow Obama to replace Justice Scalia. Never mind the fact that their own leader said in 2007 that the floor should be closed to new justices as George W. Bush’s second term moved towards its close, that was different. Or never mind that fact because stfu!
The left has tasted real power for the first time since 2009, but it was for too short a time. They have also showed their true colors. They are not interested in anything except getting more power and keeping it, and anyone who doesn’t like it needs to leave. Rule number one if you don’t like what someone has to say, don’t let them say it. Scream over them, disrupt them, get some muscle and get them thrown out, but somehow silence them. Rule number two: there’s a different set of rules that apply to the other side. You are allowed to hit them, but they are not allowed to hit you. You are allowed to do bad things to them, but they are not allowed to do bad things to you. Rule number three lie, because the media will always make sure you get good press and cover for you. Even if the whole city is burning down, just call it a mostly peaceful protest, and that will be enough. Rule number four ordinary people like they are idiots. They are easy to trick, easy to gas light, and easy to persuade that someone was somewhere they weren’t and said something they didn’t say.
One cop got in trouble for saying BLM was just “the Klan with a tan.” Wow that is a fairly simplistic way of putting it, it’s not inaccurate.
The behavior displayed in this video is really not all that different than what you would get from the 1950s Klan. Get out! Shut up! We don’t want your kind here! I’ve often said that the way to tell whether you are headed in the direction of racism although under the guise of something else is to do the black/Jew test.
First, imagine whatever rhetoric directed against black people. If it sounds like it could have come from the Klan, then you are headed for racism. Just to make sure, see what it would sound like if the target was Jews. If it sounds like it could have come from the pen of Adolf Hitler, then you are a racist, you are just aiming your hate at a different target.
I wonder if anyone has now looked back 3 years at some of the literature that was being put out at the height of the Great Stupid and said that a lot of it sounds stupid, and what doesn’t sound stupid sounds tyrannical. It is tyrannical to tell people what they can say, what they can think, what they can believe, and what they can celebrate, as well as what they can’t. It is more tyrannical to tell people what they must say, what they must believe, what they must think, what they must celebrate, and so on, under pain of punishment.
Tyranny doesn’t become something other than tyranny because someone justifies it. Unfortunately, too many people bought into the belief that hatred of hatred is not hatred and that it is okay to do just about anything to someone you disagree with if you think they are wrong. The other side is put up with it for far too long, and I think a very big backlash is coming next year. Of course, I thought a big backlash was coming last year and it turned out to be a disappointing. Then again, Biden wasn’t on the ballot last year. A Trump second term is not ideal, but it would have the effect of getting Trump off the presidential stage once and for all at the end. It would also have the effect of bringing out all these crazy idiots again, and making them targets for those of us on the right who’ve had enough of this. You want to attack us? Now we’re going to attack you. You want to silence us? Now we’re going to silence you. You want us wiped out? Now we’re going to erase you. Those who think they are going to live out their lives as hanging judges have no right to expect Mercy or even fairness when they are the ones who stand in the dock instead.
Ugh. Stupid, lazy mistake. Thanks. Fixed.
This country is on the precipice of complete civil chaos, and the only reason it hasn’t descend to that is because conservatives have as yet declined to adopt the Tactic’s? of the woke left. Should conservatives begin to act in the same manner, a violence that will consume the nation becomes inevitable. There have been some attempts to define what it is to be considered woke, but the best I’ve heard is that “wokeness” represents mental instability, intolerance and irrationality in the extreme. The woman pictured above represents a perfect example.
