Nice Planet 15: I Knew It, I'm Surrounded By...

Re: Nice Planet 15: I Knew It, I'm Surrounded By...

I view the MAGA hats like the Confederate battle flag. I don't assume someone is racist for sporting one, but I won't be surprised if they turn out to be.

I've only seen one video of this incident so far (also edited, so I'll take it with a grain of salt), and this one makes it look like no one did anything wrong. The kid just stood there with a smug look on his face (like, you know, a teenager), and I wouldn't say the NA guy with the drum was in his face. The most disturbing part to me was the dude yelling something about Israelites and things that would make the WBC proud. A little surprised that part isn't getting more attention.

Here is a pretty thorough summary of the whole thing. The guy you refer to is from something called "Black Israelites", which apparently are a bunch of WBC like wackos.

The incident is just part of a bigger picture of the racist/bigoted culture that exists at the school.

When she's not furloughed, Dr. Mrs. walks past those guys on her way to work. That's their corner. It happened to also be where the Handmaid's Tale March that the Covington kids were bused to was.

They're standard High Weirdness; anybody who lives in a big city will recognize their type. Here's a story about them from 5 years ago.

They really do not like white people.

Although they may look like a gothic super-hero tribute to Earth, Wind and Fire, their ultimate vision is the impending bloody demise of whites and other enemies at the hands of a vengeful returning Christ.

It's too bad the Covington kids didn't stop to get to know them. They have a lot in common. In addition, they

hate homosexuals, “fraudulent” Jews, Asians, abortionists, promiscuous black women, Martin Luther King (“a no-good, low-life traitor”), Jesse Jackson, Barack Obama, the Virgin Mary and Santa Claus.

Other than Mary it checks out.

To me they just seem like the crazy religious people who go to events or places where there's a lot of foot traffic holding signs shouting random ****, sometimes bigoted things. There was some crazy guy like that at the U of MN and if you aren't completely sheltered you would've encountered someone/a group like this somewhere along the line.

Exactly. I've seen hundreds of groups like these over the years in national cities like NYC, LA, Rome, London and even regional cities like Portland, Boston, York, Florence. The standard set up is:

1. A semi-permanent set, with backdrops and messaging, maybe a short platform.

2. A charismatic front man with a megaphone.

3. A hype man to do call and response and just generally kick out the jams.

4. 5-15 backups. If you're lucky they're in uniform but usually they're dressed similarly. In really cold weather they tend to cluster a little closer together.

5. Opponents. Usually there's a crazy homeless person screaming back at them, a few ardent students trying to engage them in debate (they aren't there to debate, sister), and then some itinerant tourists or business people who stop pushing by for a moment to laugh and maybe make a comment.

6. Gawkers. In a small city there's usually people who are actually interested, at least in a car accident way. In NYC people don't even stop or look at them cuz there's a freakshow like this on half the corners in the city.

7. Pickpockets and "entrepreneurs." Wherever there's a semi-stagnant crowd there will always be pickpockets. If you're lucky there are whores and if you are really lucky there are policemen joking with the whores and keeping away the junkies.

8. That one dude. I have never seen a gathering like this that lacks that one dude. He's weirder than everything else going on and completely unconnected to it. If you don't see that one dude I guess you're him.

"Purple Vest Guy" at MTU. There are nutters everywhere.

They call that place "San Francisco".

I love what I saw on Twitter- if these boys are mature enough to put on their maga hats and try to dictate what women can do with their bodies, then no one should be treating them like wounded little boys

Singletons are ubiquitous; they're a different breed of cat. You probably recall Cornell even has one. He yaps outside of Goldwin Smith and the book store about how we're all going to hell, homosexuals, & etc. The Christian students take turns destroying him in Biblical debate. He does his whole bit in total good humor with a broad smile and I'm sure he sleeps soundly imagining Jews and atheists being consumed in the Lake of Fire.

But I was referring to the semi-pro guys who are getting their act together before taking it on the road:

Brother Mike!

He died a few years ago. I talked to him a number of times. He’s way more interesting when he’s not yelling about religion. He was a classic car collector IIRC.

There are some interesting tweets in her past.

Note to self. Delete everything you’ve ever said.

That's good to hear and doesn't shock me, if one was like that all the time it'd be a rough life lol.
 
Re: Nice Planet 15: I Knew It, I'm Surrounded By...

Brother Mike took over for Brother Jed who used to tour lots of campuses and even wrote a book. I won a signed copy of it while berating him :D

They call that place "San Francisco".

It was the Wells Hall Preacher at MSU. My last year there he was training some other guy either to take over his “job” or go yell on some other campus.

I always felt bad for the kids. Four of them, and the oldest couldn’t have been more than eight years old. He and his wife would bring them out and make them hold signs.

Only time I ever heard a story of actually “winning” against them (since they’re real life Flaggys and can deflect everything) was a gay couple walking by holding hands and the preacher or his wife said “homosexuality is a sin.” One of them turned to his wife and goes, “honey, that dress is a sin.” Evidently she got pretty flustered.
