Post: The Eclipse was very cool and I'm happy I was there, the 360 degree sunset was something I did not expect. The traffic down I5 Sunday to Ore was bad, it should have been 4 hrs, it was 5 1/2. Then I came home after the event. 11 1/2 hrs, if there is a next time for me I will plan better. Sorry I missed you, we arrived in Corvallis on Sunday afternoon and walked around the town to try and pick the best spot. It turned out that the best spot was actually just outside our hotel. So we set up our chairs after breakfast and had a great unobstructed view. Beautiful clear skies, it was amazing. I would totally do it again. My husband too some good pics of the crescent effect of the cast shadows, I'll remind him to send me them so I can put them here. We didn't get great pics of the eclipse, but yours do it justice. Everyone else drove home up the I5, but we decided to head for the coast and spend a day there. It was a wise move, my friend was viewing the eclipse from just across the highway fro us, and it took her 12 hours to drive back to Vancouver! |

Post: I booked a hotel room a year ago in Corvallis, we're leaving tonight to cross the border and stay the night with family in Seattle so we can get an early start on Sunday. Maybe we'll run in to Carlos. |

You are equating the two, otherwise you wouldn't have felt the need to bring it up. BTW: Your silence, or excusal, or acceptance (pick one) of the following post by Gary. Also confirms everything have been saying. The only thing it confirms is that I have never lived in a country barbaric enough to still have the death penalty, such as America or Iran, so I have no desire to hijack this thread discussing the merits of various punishments for his crimes. |

Post: Extensive list here Clyde https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/groups That whole article is reaching at best. Antifa is not one organisation, it's an umbrella group and hardly as dangerous and "evil" as you like to claim. They are anti-fascist. You might not support some actions (mainly destruction of property) buy you cannot claim their cause is evil and they no way equate to Nazis. To do so is disingenuous. Apart from that, they weren't even involved in the rally where the white supremist terrorist drove a car into innocent protesters. You are summoning phantasms to justify your support of Nazis. |

Post: I've probably missed a few factors, but hopefully I've got the salient points. I would say what you are describing is Toxic Masculinity, which would explain why it is mainly young males who are drawn to extremist groups. |

Post:
The same as when Hitler rose to power. When times are bad people will look for an ideology that pins the blame on someone and offers an easy fix. Racism has always been an unacknowledged problem in the US. Neo-liberalism has help create huge gap between rich and poor and those left behind want an explanation. It's not in the interests of those in charge to point out that massive tax breaks for the wealthy are a part of the problem, in fact watch as those in charge prepare to give themselves more of the same. Slavery has been replaced with an unfair penal system that disproportionately targets people of colour. The poor are getting poorer, black people are starting to fight back against being murdered on the streets by the state, causing unrest. White people are scared and looking for a scapegoat and what better one to give them that the vocal minorities who want justice and equal rights. Add to that American culture of blaming poor people for their problems and the wealthy elites have had an easy time dividing groups against each other through the use of the propaganda "news" channels such as Fox News that they own. The people who speak out are then smeared and painted as snowflakes, or false labels such as alt-left are created in order to silence dissent. The Democrat party has forgotten who it is supposed to represent, and the Rupublican party in a desperate bid for power are supporting a narcissist, mysongynist, white supremacist with dementia. I've probably missed a few factors, but hopefully I've got the salient points. |

Post: You are either against Nazi's or you are a Nazi. ...and yet you've then gone on to minimise it by creating a false equivalency. Lots of bad people were not at the rally...when you bring up all the bad people who were not at the rally to minimise the atrocities committed by those who actually were (Nazis, I'm talking about Nazis) then you negate any efforts at condemnation you've made. You are an apologist. You've bought into a false narrative perpetuated by Nazis to defend Nazis because it suits you to do so. |

Post: What on earth are The "alt-left"? We get quite a good view from North of the border. It's horrifying. Glad to see you posting. I knew it would be bad here. Its hard enough reading about it in the news without coming here and seeing that actual people believe this stupidity. I'm not sure I have the stomach for it, being the bleeding heart liberal I am, I like to think the best of people. It's hard when you see something so obviously wrong and people are making excuses for it. |

Post: Oh good grief. I haven't been around because I can't deal with some of the alt-reality posted on these boards. How have we even got to the point where Nazi's aren't automatically the bad guys? I'm mystified. Every day I watch the news and I see the media trying to guild the Trump turd, trying to piece together something rational with what is clearly irrational. Now this fiction about there being some sort of alt-left at this demonstration who are just as bad as the Nazi's. I knew for a fact that if I read here, Clyde would be proclaiming this insanity and no doubt crying foul at anyone who points out he's effectively a Nazi sympathizer now. (If this hasn't happened already...its about to). Some truths are self evident. One of these is that Nazi's are bad and you really ought to supporting the people that oppose them. |

Post: 150 years of history does not absolve present day hate groups. What on earth are The "alt-left"? I'd never heard this term before it spewed out of Trumps mouth, so I'm guessing it's some sort of Newspeak coined by Fox News. I've heard of the alt-right which is an attempt to sanitise Nazi's, racists, homophobes etc, but what does "alt-left" mean? |

Post: Why do you folks outside the US have the most complaints about that which isn't affecting you? Liberalism has been growing since the beginning of the 20th century. And to think it's no one's fault is liberal logic. And to think global climate change is destroying a dam in kalifornia... there's only one thing I can do over that BELIEF: HAHAHAHA! Good grief. It's like talking to someone in a cult. |

Post: ... Yes. In the real world outside that weird US partisanship bubble you have going on, this isn't a controversial fact. Out here we understand how science works and are quite happy to state the obvious. Yes. Climate change was a real factor in the failure of the dam. |
