Andras Smith repeating himself doesn't make the point more right.

The Southern Poverty Law Centre SPLC appears to be an opportunistic organization that takes advantage of the fact that the groups that it targets don't have good legal tactics- partially because they don't trust lawyers- but do have funds to garnish.

These are the sorts of tactics common to M&A it seems. Perhaps they need to come up with better ways of sequestering their assets as the big four tech companies seem to do as a matter of routine. Then they can stop SPLC's apparently self-righteous Holy War- and then I suspect they can go back to stealing lollies from babies and screwing assistants. Perhaps Steve Bannon being an ex-banker can help them.

Don't ever let anyone tell you that nativist conservatives are paranoid about any scrutiny and SPLC; Steve Bannon?

Ironically and indirectly John Tanton was Steve Bannon's muse and the former's agitprop is still used by not just Fox News, Rebel News etc. but legacy media in the US, UK and locally; calling for refugee &/or immigration restrictions while claiming a 'great replacement' through population growth.

'John Tanton was the racist architect of the modern anti-immigrant movement. He created a network of organizations – the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) and NumbersUSA – that profoundly shaped the immigration debate in the U.S.'

Guess which SPA Sustainable Population person, claiming to be 'left', hosted Tanton on an Oz visit who he described as 'conservative'?

Andras Smith said- "'John Tanton was the racist architect of the modern anti-immigrant movement.

Answer- Everyone's ideologically biased and prejudiced but it's apparently mostly the communists and socialists that sling the term at the opponents- as if they aren't prejudiced themselves.

Mao's killing of 60 Million in China as an act of ideological cleansing surely qualifies as ideological prejudice- protecting ones own ethnicity and culture is just another bias.

Some bias are more healthy than others.

For example I wouldn't generally be against a people for protecting their own rights to their own cultural land.

Communists on the other hand don't believe in rights to property- a thieving looting ideology- neither for individual ownership or linear or cultural. The problem with Communism is that they deserve the same independent of their contribution- the entitled citizen. The citizen in my view is entitled however to earn a living based on their own efforts with minimum legislative interference- I also have some views on land and how it should be passed from generation to generation within a culture and whether it can be used to secure finance.

John Tanton may be a racist (or prejudiced) in a sense depending on what pedantic definition is used- given that everyone is prejudiced it seems extremely likely that he is prejudiced about something- but I don't think that means that he necessarily murdered anyone- and it doesn't mean that he is wrong

I don't agree with Andras Smith or the academics which appear to have betrayed their own raison detre (reason for existence)- this implies that the universities need a broom- maybe open education is the right instrument- start producing internet manuals and lobbying for adoption of low cost nationally based internet certification. Universities exist to ensure that nations stay ahead of the knowledge curve.

Andras Smith talks about Traditionalists as being fringe- I think the opposite of woke socialist ideology as being essentially fringe.

Andras Smith from memory said something about the Traditionalists as being paranoid about the media- Noam Chomsky (apparently a Hebrew Anarcho- Socialist) in Manufacturing Consent 1988 seems to have talked about what could be considered as Left Liberal Socialist paranoia about the media- he made some interesting points. Many believe that media power ideology has moved to the extreme communist side since the 1990's.

The thing is power plays are always happening on all sides. Bellum omnium contra omnes.

Enemies in battle are constantly attacking each other often at the same time. They are both acting prejudically to each other. In this environment if you don't use the weapons your team dies.

SPLC throws around the term hate- as if they are not hateful themselves.

Andras Smith slings around the term racist- as if he is not bigoted himself.

Everyone is biased- it's life preserving

Hi Andras,

Just a little something to lighten things up:

Question:
What do you call it when CM and his colleagues, give their
viewpoints - all at the same time?

Answer:
Mass-debating.

Foxy: :) CM: You have learnt the tactics of Murdoch media, GOP, the alt right and the related to John Tanton types who sometimes inhabit here; all you can do is complain, smear others etc. yet you have nothing constructive nor analysis to offer?

I don't think it's good for your head with your pathological aversion to analysis and expertise vs. preferred gut instincts and beliefs?
