Woman On Trial For Laughing At Jeff Sessions

[whichphilosophy]

If you see my previous posts, the actions of that group are actually constructive. Maybe the goat did change a little because it seems quite a bit of silk is deserving. Shame about the clenched fist. We don't use Nazi salutes, so why not dump Stalinist salutes. This is entirely up to those who wish to cut the chord.

If the group is actually constructive, what difference does it make whether its leader is Marxist or it has a "Stalinist" salute?

There are a lot of good things coming from Communist countries such as healthcare, education, pensions, housing and women's rights, despite many downsides. India in my opinion had the best regional government in India which was the Maoist one which ruled Kerala for some years. Even now most of the engineers I worked with came from there.

Nonetheless losing the clenched fist would not be a bad thing in finally cutting the chord.

Even now However it's just a matter of making a break with the clenched fist. Again it should be optional

Cutting the chord?
Not sure I like your tone...

The Clenched fist was a common symbol of Marxism. In fairness it stems back to Assyria.The clenched fist, is a symbol of solidarity and support which many particularly revolutionary Marxists used/use to express unity of purpose, defiance, strength and revolution. So cutting the chord would mean moving away from this and not depending on this. ISIS has a one fingered salute (not the finger) and the Nazis had the raised hand forward as a salute. The latter is illegal in some countries. I don't think the clenched fist should be banned.

That does not answer my question - what difference does it make?

Fair's fair, because didn't the Dems go after that guy who yelled "You lie!!" at Obama? I think he got stripped of his House seat and went to the federal pen, right?
Also, where are the Dixie Chicks on all this?

No, that's note what 'cutting the chord' would mean. Even if you were preaching to the choir, that's note what it would mean.

This exchange is starting to scale up. Just give it a rest before someone gets in treble.

Oh, I thought WP and I were just Marxing time....

Also, is that her real name? Desiree is French or English, but Fairooz sounds Muslim ...

I don't understand your question.

She's an American woman.

I don't understand your distinction.

She's an American (person).

What do you call cutting the chord in politics? Pentagonic.

Removes the last revolutionary link; the last shadow; the last influence. It's very therapeutic you know. After all Lenin said religion is the opiate of the masses. Revolutionary Marxism was therefore the methadone. So with a more appropriate logo you don't see what appears to be a photo shopped Marxist fist.

I understand she was charged in accordance with USA Law for “disorderly and disruptive conduct” intended to “impede, disrupt, and disturb the orderly conduct” of congressional proceedings.

A jury on Wednesday convicted three Code Pink activists on charges related to a protest at the confirmation hearing of Jeff Sessions for attorney general — including a Virginia woman who said all she did was break out in laughter.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_Pink

The leader is Marxist Medea Benjamin
http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=626

In July 1992, Benjamin endorsed a national conference which the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism (CCDS)—an outgrowth of the Communist Party USA—held in Berkeley, California. The theme of this event was “Perspectives for Democracy and Socialism in the '90s.”

and

Throughout the decade, Benjamin and likeminded Marxist feminists focused their energies on organizing sometimes-violent protests against free trade across the globe, targeting large corporations with high-profile campaigns and lawsuits that cost consumers and companies like The Gap, Nike, and Starbucks millions of dollars.


While the circumstances are not clear it sounds like Code Pink exploits real issues with asinine actions.

Okay, see, if we stop exchanging puns and shift to quoting movies i've never seen, you need to signal a lane change before swerving.

You mean therapeutic for those who see bogeymen hiding under the bed.
