"Alt-left" Parading Ignorance, Stupidity, Malice, Etc.

[pErvinalia]

Physics is just a theory.

[Svartalf]

and GPS is just woo?

The astronauts would never have made it through the Van Halen radiation belts.

I think they were forced to jump

Van Halen?

[Brian Peacock]

I think he meant...

[Hermit]

And he'll try to pass it off as one of his attempts at humour.

[JimC]

I'm prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt...

[Hermit]

"Plausible deniability" comes to mind.

Oh, I see. Van Halen belts out pop that radiates out from the speakers with such force that the astronauts would never have made it through. Sorry, 42, I misunderstood.

[Rum]

Well that's cleared things up. But I'm still not sure how a rock band discovered belts all the way out there in spaceland.

I think Diamond Dave has a degree in astrophysics. Or maybe that's Brian May, I get them confused.

[L'Emmerdeur]

No, they're sure as fuck not angels, and I think a fair percentage are there for the rumble, but 'nonviolent direct action' is asking for boots upside your head when facing something like 'Unite the Right.'

'Yes, What About the “Alt-Left”?'

I stood with a group of interfaith clergy and other people of faith in a nonviolent direct action meant to keep the white nationalists from entering the park to their hate rally. We had far fewer people holding the line than we had hoped for, and frankly, it wasn’t enough. No police officers in sight (that I could see from where I stood), and we were prepared to be beaten to a bloody pulp to show that while the state permitted white nationalists to rally in hate, in the many names of God, we did not. But we didn’t have to because the anarchists and anti-fascists got to them before they could get to us. I’ve never felt more grateful and more ashamed at the same time. The antifa were like angels to me in that moment.

Were they not allowed to enter that park? If not, then did the police keep them from entering?
