Slippery slopes here..

If AmeriKKKa is so racist, why are so many POCs flooding here? Does that make sense? Shouldn't all the Black and Brown folks be building rafts to leave North Carolina hoping to hit the Bahamas or something?

Get the [BLEEP] outta here...

Losing WWI was how the Bolsheviks took over Russia. Lenin was the only candidate in favor of ending the war immediately, and while he didn't win the actual election, he had the support of most of the troops, and in the end that was all that mattered.

It was literally designed to make believers that can become activists. Kaepernick is a believer, turned activist,  that goes around proselytizing the narrative. His problem is with any establishment that supports the current system, which is why he now attacks the NFL.

Social justice is not the pursuit of something better. It's a tool to destroy. Let me ask you a question.... do you really think Kaepernick thinks playing in the NFL is slavery? No. He was told to use his platform to bring awareness to his religion, but was shutdown by the NFL. Now he will use a different platform to dismantle that one. It's all about power.

Destroy our disrupt anything that enables the old power structure and support anything that tears it down. It's really that simple. This is the only way to make sense of progressive policies.

I suppose it might be the only way to harmonize the thoughts of Colin Kaepernick with those of say Elizabeth Warren. But isn't it a lot simpler to say that those are two different people who have totally different backgrounds and thoughts? That any agreement between the two of them is coincidence?
